How old is your son mate?
My five year old is absolutely obsessed with Super Mario maker 2 and Super Mario Odyssey.

4 matey. Odyssey does look great.
Buy him Darkest Dungeon. It will teach him to deal with disappointment and frustration and the fact that the world is an unfair, artifically difficult annoying place and how THE FECK DID ALL THOSE SKELETONS CRIT SO MANY TIMES THIS IS BULLSHIT.
But really, it's a great game.

@Spoony download the SNES app off the Nintendo store and let him play Super Metroid.
Played it on his mini Snes, Elv. Was too young to play it mind but he loved watching.
It’s nearly the perfect game to experience with a child mate.
You are able to go back and forward between all of the worlds you’ve unlocked. Each world is completely open and allows full exploration.
My little man takes great pleasure in just exploring and finding moons for himself.
He’s needed my help with bosses and some jumps etc, but it’s an incredibly child friendly game on the whole that he’s easily pumped over 200 hours into.
Switch has sold 52m, which is apparently more than the Xbox which had more than a 3 year head start.
Pokemon Shield/Sword sold 16m in six weeks.
Crazy numbers considering where Nintendo were last gen. I enjoyed the wii u, but it did not appeal to the mainstream.

Kirby. It's easy and fun.
Captain Toad is another I would recommend one I would recommend for kids.
Ys 8 works amazingly well as a hand held game. Someone on here recommended it to me, so thank you whoever that was.
It was me and you're welcome.
I got it on PS4 cause it was like 15 quid compared to 55 quid for the Switch (a recurring theme in Switch cross platform games) but it seems like the sort of game well suited to handheld. One of my favourite RPG's of the last few years.
Ah right!
Yeah, I always ignored it, because of the weird name, but it's great to pick up, play for 20 minutes at a time. It was 39.99 when I bought it though.
Can attest to that, playing it with my nephew and the joy he takes in it has revitalized my love of gaming.
Nintendo make amazing games for kids.
Considering that Pokemon is still selling well in Japan in weekly numbers, getting to 20m LTD is not going to be a surprise, I think if we add what it sold in the few weeks of 2020 it'll be the best selling Pokemon game since G/S, amazing HW numbers as well, but not surprising if you keep an eye on weekly sales in Japan which gives an idea how well it's doing.
Guessing it was me.
Hmm @Massive Spanner says it was him. Guess you two better fight each other.Guessing it was me.
Really enjoyed Link's Awakening. Some of those dungeons got really tricky towards the end.
I was a bit disappointed with Odyssey though. Not enough of a challenge and they throw moons at you like candy. I prefer the original structure of one star/moon per level. That felt more rewarding.

Well he recommended it to me originally so I won't begrudge it!
Odyssey is one of the most fecking overrated games I've ever played.
There are some really really challenging stuff in post game.
It’s at least on the 3rd tier of Mario games below 3, the greatest game of all time, and the next level with SNES, 64, etc.
That still leaves it as a 8.675/10 at worst, so it’s scientifically impossible for it to be the most fecking overrated.
I wish Odyssey hadn't come out in Winter. I love it but I get cold, rainy day vibes when thinking about/playing it. If it had come out in summer that would have been amazing.
Odyssey let me play as zombie mario. How can anybody not love zombie mario?
I loved Odyssey. Much prefer it to Breath of The Wild which i think is vastly overrated. I will say that it is a little empty. I also had no desire to go back through it and get more moons once i finished the game. But really enjoyed my time with it.
And it's such a happy game!

Post game is quite good. The nostalgic N64 throwback level and the moon stuff.
I still have a lot to do, but thought I'd concentrate on some other games for a while.
Yeah i heard that the post game stuff was supposed to be fun. I enjoyed my 10 hours or so with it, then moved on really. Would love for a new one though. Obviously they've announced the sequel to Breath of The Wild, but to my knowledge they haven't said anything about a new Mario game.
Really enjoying Link's Awakening so far. I think the last main thing I did was getting the five gold leaves, and now I'm kind of just wandering around trying to figure out what to do next 
I like not just constantly knowing everything though, makes finding things out more fun.

I shall give them a go soon
There is a 15 second cheese on my p-switch level. Just found out. You can easily grab that record.I shall give them a go soon
Why did I start playing Tetris 99?! It's so addictive.
Finished Link Awakening today. Last boss killed me a few times, swapped my red tunic for the blue one and it was far easier!!
Great little game - enjoyed it, but v.simple in the main. BOTW is the better game of the two, but both great in their own way.

Isn't it just! Lucky I only play on my son's Switch and he kicks me off it. Never managed to get further than 3rd place either.Why did I start playing Tetris 99?! It's so addictive.
Of course BOTW is better, this is a remake of a game from 1993, I still can't believe the mechanics were brought into a game from 1993! It makes it even more impressive, it shows how ahead of it's time the original game was.
There were different tunics?
Yeah - there's a colour dungeon where you can get a red tunic to double attack stats or blue to double defence stats.
If you run into the bookshelf in the library, there's a book that gives you a code of sorts - move some gravestones in the cemetary and you enter the colour dungeon!
Oh I missed that completely.

Witcher 3 on switch has cross save features now and sharper graphics thanks to a major update.
I'm thinking about getting Switch, but I'm a bit underwhelmed by the games catalouge. I played Breath of the wild on the Wii U and was underwhelmed. Apart from the Mario's Odessey I'm not really seeing much to be excited about.
Depends. Do you have any other consoles? What kind of games do you like? There's a lot of great ports. The switch is also a wonderful indie machine. There's tons of indies being released on it every month.
