If you want access to the online play, then yeah, but otherwise not at all.

Does any of these games require membership to play?

Nice one

Mine did aswell but figured out Id buy an extra pair. So we're set with 4 joy-cons then.

You're fine then. Mine only had one of each so yeah

I have 2 red and 2 blue Joy-cons I believe. The originals that came with the Switch.

Will I need 8 of them for 4 players? Or is 4 enough to play all of these minigames?

Hehe, I have considered that. The Nintendo Switch will always be out of reach and only used in docking mode.

They are and have always been very careful with electronic devices of all kinds. Ive broken more than they have. 😉😆

Thanks for the suggestions! 👍

I've heard complaints about Minecraft not running well on the Switch that's why I was concerned about getting it. Is this something to worry about? Also, im guessing 2 players is possible in Minecraft?

I don't recommend a Switch OLED for young kids

It'll end up smashed before the joycon drift

It's joy-con only btw, that's the main drawback. You have to get more joy-cons for 4 players. It's pretty awful. But if you have more joycons its perfect

Kirby Star Allies, Yoshi's Crafted World, and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe are all good and simple 2D platformers. Minecraft is an obvious get. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is an excellent 3D Co-op platformer, though the Bowser's Fury portion might be a bit scary for 5 year olds, you can just play 3D World.

Super Mario Party looks interesting, but also unusual from what games im used to. But maybe its fun, we got 4 controllers in total at this time.

Either Super Mario Party or Super Mario Maker 2 - both have varying degrees of multiplayer content, and somewhat decent replayability.

If that's true then I guess we don't have anything more to deliberate. There are trolls on the sub that bring nothing more to the table than just to buy a PC without more. I'll say your comment was more detailed and helpful than the usual. But the sentiment in my other comments remains.

As for the downvotes, I wasn't offended by your comments. I downvoted because I assumed you downvoted my comments. I would not have done it otherwise. I'll reverse that. Later.

I didn’t seek out this subreddit with the specific intention of leaving comments like this. It just showed up in my home feed because it’s related to gaming. I didn’t realize that this was r/consoles at first. I just like discussing gaming. I was under the impression that you got offended by my (and the other guy in this thread’s) comments and were being defensive, hence the downvotes.

Ah yes, going to a subreddit dedicated exclusively to consoles and thinking the people in it have never even considered a PC before. Not thinking that there may be some sort of valid reason that someone could want a console over a gaming computer.

This is a place of public discussion, we are discussing things. I am not saying you are being rude, I am saying the suggestions you make aren't helpful. About as welcome as a Jehovah's witness.

Because it's a game like no other.

I have to agree with your disagreement.

Are you talking handheld or something to hook up to your tv?

I'm asking on a lot of corners.

Stay

You could try asking the Death Stranding subreddit. I'm a massive fan of Death Stranding, it's a game that really resonated with me. It's not really something that can be quantified in a reasonable amount of time I feel (hence why a 7 hour review of the game exists.)

Uhh, a backwards compatible PS3 or a powerful enough PC? Both not exactly cheap...

Cheaper just to get a PS2 and PS3 slim

It's called a PC

I have to disagree.
