Either Santa or Mommy and Daddy will be awesome


What games will a 10 year old boy need?


And he has a WiiU, so will those games work with it?

The games are cartridges for Switch, not discs, so he can't play Wii U games on it unfortunately. They're actually reselling the Wii U games as "Switch" versions to make a buck on people.

Safe bets for a 10 year old would be Mario Odyssey or Zelda. If its an Xmas gift, Super Smash Bros Ultimate will be the must have for the season (releases early December).

For download, go ahead and pre-install before he opens it:
Snipper Clips
Rocket League (so there can be another 10yo better at this game than me)
Minecraft (if he's into that)

Other suggestions already mentioned are all good too.

Exactly this.

If I had to put them in order of how I think a 10 year old would want:

1. Smash Bros
2. Zelda
3. Mario Odyssey
4. MK 8

To be honest, I think the primary motivation is not to double-dip, but to sell to people who never had a Wii U and now have a Switch. (Which, if you look at the numbers, is probably a ton of people.)

Exhibit A: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which sold like hotcakes.

If I had a switch, Metroid Prime 4 would be my first purchase. Then Monster Huner Generations and Zelda.

A music store which was going out of business also sold video game systems. Brand new for with some chsrging thing for 250.


My baby is 10. And a nerd, a Webelo, a soccer goalie, and a comedic magician.


But I am going to hit game stop and Target for games. And cyber Monday.

Thanks for the suggestions.

In my house, dad might be getting one of these for his birthday, and the kids might get some games for Christmas.

Just a little warning: Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an addicting game. He'll spend hours playing the game...I know first hand...

I just checked...I've played over 200 hours and haven't beaten the game yet. I won't say how many hours over 200...
