I bought the missus a Switch for Xmas although I gave her it early. I haven't owned a Nintendo sconsole since the Super Nintendo so most Nintendo games are not really my thing.

She hasn't traditionally been a big gamer but I have been getting her into it over the last few years. Games she has liked

Little Big Planet
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy XIV
Horizon Zero Dawn
Zero Escape Series
Phoenix Wright
Ni No Kuni (This is what she is playing right now and really enjoys)
Liar Princess And Blind Prince (Story + Art she loves but not so much gameplay)
Ori and The Blind Forest
Tales Of Berseria (she has not played but she enjoyed watching me play)

So I guess she likes RPGs, Puzzles, Visual Novels and cutesy games but can get invested purely on art and storyline/characters (as long as the difficulty won't overwhelm her)

Breath of the Wild would probably be a really good one if she liked Horizon, or more just in general haha

Xenoblade 2 and DQXI too given the FFs, the latter is more traditional.

Tales of Vesperia is on sale right now on the eShop for $25. If she has the digital storage for it, it might be a fun thing to drop on her.

I introduced my wife to Stardew Valley and she ended up putting almost 300 hours into it, and shed never played a Harvest Moon-like in her life.

X/X2 and XII are available for retail as well, if she'd like something to unwrap.

I Am Setsuna is an RPG on the eShop that is heavily influenced by Chrono Trigger.

Fire Emblem is the obvious one.

On the VN side of things, Somnium Files is the easy pick if she already like ZE. Raging Loop is new and great. Steins;Gate is another easy rec.

Puyo Puyo Tetris
Wonder Boy and the Dragon's Trap (haven't played Monster boy yet and that's probably better as a game, but I think it might be a little harder???? IDK)

Pokmon Quest is a super fun free game that is a cutesy action RPG with camp decoration elements as well. She should like that.

The Cat Quests and Untitled Goose Game are short games that are really charming. The former are RPGs.

Since she likes both RPGs and puzzle games, maybe look into Sushi Striker too. There's a demo on the Switch eShop (I recommend playing handheld with a stylus).

Yeah AI seems like a safe bet

Mario Odyssey and Luigis Mansion 3 might also be good options

Ok so she started watching The Witcher without me knowing and she didn't realize it was a videogame

Am I right in assuming The Witcher on Switch is going to be inferior to the PS4 version?

Well naturally, but it's still really impressive what they managed to pull off with the Switch port.

I would definitely go for Witcher 3 on ps4 because from what I have heard the port isnt all that great and you can get the complete version on ps4 cheaper than the base game on switch as well.

You're still right about price, but the base game on Switch IS the complete edition.

Oh. I had assumed it wasn't. I never looked because I own the complete edition on PS4.

i don't own a ps4 (or xbone) so that's not really an option. pretty sure the diff in price will be less than cost of a ps4!

You can Pre-order Puzzle And Dragons GOLD for $15. I also got Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, and my dad has played it and I can say they are both good.
