Nintendo makes the dumbest/silliest games that are super fun for my entire family. They never feel like work for me.
For example, the recent Big Brain Academy for Switch is a great multiplayer game:

I play with my 8 year old and 5 year old, and we can each set our difficulty level separately (from Sprout for little kids who only want to press A, to Super Elite for gamers who love a challenge).
Being able to set our difficulty level separately makes it a challenge for me every time, and it's fun to play against my 5 year old.
- AlexandrB 5y agoNintendo is increasingly dipping their toes into gacha-style games on mobile, with Fire Emblem Heroes being the most prominent example. I worry that once they get a taste of the money these games generate the same mechanics will seep into their console offerings.
- darkwizard42 5y agoIf you haven't tried Overcooked (1 and 2), it is definitely a game to get into. Good fun for the whole family and has only light mechanical elements with mostly puzzle/working together as a team being the focus.
- ronyeh 5y agoMy 8 year old and I beat Overcooked 1 and we are currently working on "All You Can Eat" which is the edition with all the DLC. The original game was one of the toughest games we ever beat. It took me, my wife, and our kid multiple tries to beat the Onion King. My 5 year old watched since he would mostly get in our way when we played with 4 players. :-).
- ronyeh 5y agoNo one will ever see this comment... But my child reminded me today that the ultimate boss was called the Ever Peckish. The Onion King was on our side.
