Recommended games for my 4 Year Old niece?

| My niece loves playing video games with me. I'm trying to decide what else she could get into, since most of what I play are complicated.

So far she's beaten Monument Valley by herself when she was 3, and she knows how to play ARMS and Kirby. Fighting games seem to be her favorite.

My only criteria are simple controls, two player, and playable without needing to read. Bonus points if there are waifus for her to pick as best girl.

I have a Switch, PS4, and PC.


| Slime Rancher


| Ibb & Obb is really good when you play it with a friend, might work for you.
Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater might also be good, but they do have more complex controls, dunno how simple they need to be.


| If there are PS2 games available for PS4, Timesplitters is a great game to pick up and play.

Lethal Lague is also one I can recommend, its like smash but its all pong.


| nekopara It has really cute visuals


| None- a 4 year old shouldn't be playing vidya.


| Oh, a troll thread...


| I thought it was a normie posting until the last few sentences.


| Uhh skullgirls?


| >>386045 how is this a troll thread? I'm serious.


| >>386062 would a normie know about a message board based off of a cyberpunk bartending visual novel? lol


| >>386045 I don't think this is troll thread.


| He's a bit older (6) but I've been playing Isaac Rebirth with my nephew and he loves it. The controls are simple and if you die as a coop baby it doesn't end tne run.


| Spore is a pretty good call.


| I would say look at some more classic games, good to get them started early. Dreamcast can be emulated via demul and works perfectly; otherwise for a slower comp try nullcast.

Daytona, any of the virtual-on games, Project justice is an amazing fighter that is really family friendly without being super cutesy.


| >>8d8662 you sir, are a trollish [D]ick. There is far too much reading as that is a vn. They were clear about what they wanted. Multi player, and little to no reading. It isn't that hard. Now if the voice acting was English, then by all means it works. :-P


| Now for my real reply. If they like hack and slash, any of the Nintendo branded warriors games would be fun. Or for PS4, rocket league. That can be goofy at times I find.


| >>386432 My niece tried Fire Emblem Warriors. The objectives and moving around maps are still tricky for her. She prefers something more straight forward.


| Girls love puyo puyo.


| Great, raise her to be the youngest fighting game tournament participant


| but i guess, super mario 64 or something near it


| A lego game


| all Kirby games are great


| any fighting game i guesa


| The sims or if you want to go old school put put in the zoo& others in the serie put put


| Super mario allstars on snes. You think a 4 year old understands up to date graphics and hardware? Just give them a fun, colorful, solid game. I had so much fun with this when I was young


| Splatoon maybe or Mario Oddysey, Sonic Mania, VVVVVV

Just don't let her play too much, because when she starts this early, she can easily get addicted


| Snipperclips is good if you got switch


| Snipperclips would be good for co-op.
Mario Odyssey for a chill, amazing platformer.
Maybe Pocket Rumble as a fighting game, I don't think the controls there should be too hard.
Knack is a bit of a meme, but those games are pretty good. It has almost hack and slash type fighting, nice visuals, and some platforming. As long as she doesn't play on the hardest difficulty, I guarantee you she'll have a good time if she likes action games.


| Monster Girl Quest


| >>387440 She's played Snipperclips and Super Mario Odyssey. She really likes them! My niece hasn't played the others, and I'm less familiar with Pocket Fighter, so I'll look into that.


| >>386044
Jokes on you I started playing vidya when I was 3!


| Call of battlefield :modern assasins fortgrounds


| >>386044
Are you actually fucking dumb? Why should kids not play games? Because it learns them puzzle solving skills at a young age, helping them get smarter? You know, for kids, games are like those "what shape fits in what hole" things, just with more thinking required, and more fun, thereby giving them motivation to actually do it. So fuck off with your fucking corrupting kids with games shit or whatever. Fuck you.


| >>388162
You know what? I'm sorry dude. That was too aggressive. I'm not feeling good right now. My message still stands, but please ignore all the fucks.


| Games can be more addicting though, especially at a young age


| >>388176
No. That's false. If you easily get addicted to things, yes, you'll get addicted to games. But I have played video games since I was 3, and I'm not, and have never been, addicted. It's the same for everyone I know who also plays video games. Video game addiction is a real thing, but you don't get addicted from playing a lot of games. You get addicted because you have mental issues, and use video games as an escape from reality.


| Super Ghouls 'n ghost .... Or raplay


| >>388176
>>388208
Not sure if I agree one way or the other. I grew up without games until I was about 10 to 12 when I got a gameboy for a few years. I genuinely feel like it helped me learn more focus and patience without gaming and mobile devices from a young age. Just food for thought.


| >>389371
I get that way of thinking, but I'm pretty damn patient. I never feel like to rush things, be the first for things or always do something. I don't feel the "social media pressure" to put it that way. I also don't think social media and video games is the same thing or have the same effect on people.
