It sounds like you’re actually looking for turn-based tactics/strategy? In that case maybe check out Civilization VI and the Advance Wars 1+2 remake. They’re both supposed to have local multiplayer on the Switch, although I don’t know how good it is. I don’t think you can play the Advance Wars campaign co-op, but it sounds like you can at least play individual battles like that.
If you’re really looking for real-time strategy, Pikmin 3 seems to have a good co-op story mode. Pikmin 4 technically has one too but the second player isn’t able to do much, so it’s probably not very fun.
Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age. Luckily, people are still making amazing fan missions and entire campaigns for both entries in the franchise after over 20 years. That’s probably the best outcome a commercial game can have…
I got one of these recently and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s a repurposed iPad screen, 2k, 4:3, and put into an aluminum frame. slightly larger than your requirements tho. Got the version with usb-c and mini-hdmi inputs, and is USB powered. www.aliexpress.us/item/3256801503431249.html
XCOM: Enemy Within. I haven’t beaten it in general (got really close on Normal), but I’ve been specifically trying to clear Classic since that’s the mode where the game is mostly fair for both the player and the AI; the AI literally stops pulling punches and the game stops skewing RNG in the player’s favor.
It’s the dragon I’ve been chasing for over a decade; I’ll squadwipe on a mission that fucks up my entire run, ragequit, and not touch it again for a year or three, then go “how come I never beat it?” and start the vicious cycle again. BUT GODDAMMIT, IT’S SO FUCKING FUN TO PLAY (except for Newfoundland, all my homies hate Newfoundland).
This is only vanilla btw, don’t even get me started on my Long War “attempts” (read: repeated wipes within the first couple of months).
EDIT: more gooder english and PTSD flashbacks of Newfoundland mission.
I got the King Kong Pro and love it. It’s basically identical to an xbox controller but with gyro support and hall effect sticks.
Regarding the statement that gyro only works in switch mode, it’s the same for all controllers: they can switch between several modes (iOS/android, switch, xinput and directinput on the king kong). The motion controls only work when in switch mode but that mode works perfectly fine in an emulator such as yuzu (and even every game on steam too for that matter).
Every open world RPG I've ever played. I still, to this day, have never finished a Final Fantasy game. I think the closest is getting to max level in FF14
I've already seen them suggested, but I want to throw out another recommendation for Signalis and Lunacid . Signalis is a sci-fi horror game that takes heavy inspiration from the old Resident Evil and Silent Hill games. Like Resident Evil you have limited ammo, inventory, and points where you can save. Like Silent Hill you have a story that starts out fairly straightforward and then gets weirder as things start to unravel around you. I'm not really a survival horror fan and it still managed to keep me hooked to the end.
Lunacid is a first-first person dungeon crawler that is heavily inspired by pre-Dark Souls Fromsoft series like King's Field and Shadow Tower. That's really all the game sets out to be and it absolutely nails it. The combat can be a bit repetitive, unless you invest in magic which I found to be incredibly fun and versatile, but I feel like the atmosphere more than makes up for it. It also has a ton of secrets and plenty of those ah-ha moments where you open up a shortcut or figure out how one area connects to the others.
I’m playing Far Cry 6. Finally finished the Paint the Town side quest! It turned out to be one of those that took way to long to finish. My wife and I are also playing It Takes Two.
