Everyone loves Snipperclips
Everyone is also a back-snipping fecker on it
Oh yeah all I do is snip my team mates to shit while cackling maniacally.
Overcooked as well. It's great fun to play, but people even seem to enjoy watching others fail miserably. My dad likes watching at least and he thinks it's refreshing it's not a game about killing feckers.
Depending on the age distribution Smash Bros. might be a good bet as well.
Mario Kart probably.
Maybe Mario Party as long as everyone can use quite well the controller. A game like the the beginning of Breath of the Wild is a lot more forgiving than Mario Party for a player that doesn't manage from the start to go left or up by example.
Pokémon Sword or Shield (or even Let's Go) can be quite nice or even Breath of the Wild (I read these two of these games to a kid that hadn't learnt to read at that time though for BotW, it's better if you already know the game so you can skip the hard challenges).
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a cute strategy game that is quite easy... with funny cutscenes. I also read the game to a kid and did the puzzles part since they were to challenging for the kid.

Most these game only require a few buttons to play and are quite easy to understand.
Oh man your so good. I could never do that.
How many hours?
I can't recommend Horace enough to anyone who likes platforming/metrovania games.
Possibly the best pixel graphics I've ever seen and a genuinely funny and heartwarming story.
It's on sale for about a quid now

I bet you could! Once you know what to do it's not that hard, mostly just getting the timing right.
About 20 minutes!
Getting the timing perfect like that is the hard bit Olly!
I get killed by gumba. A single one. Walking slowly. By itself. With no obstacles around it.
Hmm I suppose so! That's why I still suck at shell jumps, I can never get the timing consistent.
Ah... well in that case maybe don't go trying those levels just yet
Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Man, did this game fall apart in the final third or what. It went from an enjoyable if somewhat plodding 7/10 to a nonsensical and ridiculously grindy 5/10 or worse in no time. It's not an uncommon issue for JRPGs but it's particularly bad here.
I had originally planned on checking out Xenoblade Chronicles 2 after this one, but now I'm not so sure. I mostly liked the early and middle parts though. Anyone who played both games and can compare? Without spoilers of course.

I'm like you with regards the first one. I found it to be a slog. The first 40 hours or so weren't too bad but I completely lost interest.
I played Xenoblade 2 first and loved it.
So perhaps I shouldn't give up hope for the second game. Thanks.
Absolutely. Played 2 first, then 1. Xenoblade 1 felt far more grindy right from the start (just thinking about all these pointless side quests..) and it was annoying in no time while it never felt like an issue in 2 where it's mostly enough to do the few side quests you'll get and fight the opponents you regularly run into.
I'll add to the debate that I absolutely hat d both Xenoblade games eventhough JRPGs are like my favorite type of games.
I used to really love JRPGs back in the day but played less and less of them from the PS360 era onwards. It felt like the genre was going through a serious slump. Xenoblade looked like it should've been the perfect game for me, but alas.
On a positive note though, I discovered that Octopath Traveler is currently 50% off in the eshop over here! I've found decent Nintendo eshop sales pretty rare so that's a welcome and timely surprise. Played for about an hour and I'm already in love with the visuals and soundtrack.
Try Dragon Quest XI S.
I did that one just before Xenoblade Chronicles DE. Slow start but I ended up loving it. I did everything you could possibly do in that game. Definitely one of the better JRPGs I've played in the last 10-15 years.
I thought Octopath was great and pretty underrated actually. Enjoy.
Enjoying Super Mario 64 but Jesus Christ the camera is fecking dreadful.
I've just bought Bayonetta non stop climax edition still in its Amazon Japan packaging, nerdiest purchase to date.
I'm thinking with the amount of kids/people playing the switch this year, there'll be a great opportunity to profit from all the nostalgia in 15/20 years' time.

I'm finally playing Luigi's Mansion 3... It's not as good as id hoped.
Meh. The IR photos on Pokemon Go seem to take care of this kind of thing already, and for free.
Yeah it should be a nice relaxing but fun way to pass the time
I'm tempted to pre-order, but I remember the original Snap being ridiculously short. Not sure I want to pay full whack if this is similar to that. Might try and rent it though.
Anyone have the 51 Clubhouse Games? I'm thinking to purchase it on the Nintendo sale for me and my missus to play, while at home. Worthy purchase?
I gave up on it tbh. Just didn't grab me at all.
I've gotten quite far into it. I felt like giving up at times but I spent decent money on this so want to complete it.
I'm on floor 11 out of 15 so assume I'm close to completing it.
It looks stunning but the gameplay feels average, not challenging, very repetitive etc.
Is Mario Odyssey like this also? Maybe I've just been spoilt by Hollow Knight...
Odyssey was more fun imo. I'm not sure Nintendo do 'challenging' tbh although that wasn't my problem with Luigi.
I think that's a bit unfair on Odyssey to be honest. The post-game had plenty of challenges.
This thing is just a nostalgia fest at this point isn't it
Oh my god stop it I love a good remake take my money i don’t care
