About this list

Left out: 110 games that might fit but are not confirmed yet.

Games a parent and a child around 8 to 12 can both enjoy on one screen, without one of you carrying the other the whole time. Each pair of Joy-Con can be split into two controllers, which makes two-player games cheap to start.
