Yes, I have played quite a lot of Lego Games such as Harry Potter and also Lego Movie. One of my youngest sons absolutely loves the Lego games and has played pretty much most of them and still tends to go back and play through them when he wants to and always seems to enjoy them each time he plays. One memory that really does stick out to me when it comes to a Lego game was when I played co-op with my son on Lego Movie. We spent hours on that specific Lego game completing everything and collecting everything. It was a lot of fun, and my son really did enjoy working together on it to complete everything.

I absolutely love Mario, remember growing up playing on the Super Nintendo and one of the games that always rings out to me when I remember back to playing is Yoshi's Island. I loved that game and spent so many hours on it, Yoshi was absolutely adorable in that game. When it comes to multiplayer games my absolute favorite would probably have to be Yoshi who I choose every time. Failing that Peach will always be my second go to as one of my favorites to use in an online multiplayer Mario game.

I can totally relate to what you are saying regarding different controllers feeling different. I remember when I was younger, my brothers had a PS1 and I used to play Crash Bandicoot on that so much when they were not using their console and I never had an issue with the controller, found it easy to use and comfortable. I then switched to playing on Xbox and got used to using the Xbox controller and after that, I couldn't use the PlayStation controller and still to this day I find the PlayStation controller to be uncomfortable to use. You would think that it would be that I just find the Xbox controller more comfortable, but I can get on with a Nintendo controller which I have for my Nintendo Switch just fine. I am not sure if it's because the Xbox and Nintendo Switch controllers are similar in size and shape or if it's something else.

Whenever someone asks me what game I would love to see become backwards compatible, one game always pops into my head and I know that it has a lot of interest in wanting to be seen as a backwards compatible game but so far, we haven't seen anything yet. Simpsons Hit and Run is a game I would absolutely love to see become backwards compatible. I remember when I was pregnant with the first back in 2003 and it was a quite difficult pregnancy and I had to rest a lot, Simpsons Hit and Run was a game that kept me entertained and I absolutely loved it. There have been rumors that it may become a backwards compatible game but so far, no news yet. Every time I see someone on social media or online regarding it being a possibility, I do get a little excited but usually end up feeling disappointed.

Yes! I have had my joy con drift since back in 2020 after I purchased Animal Crossing New Horizons on the Switch during the lockdown as something for me and my kids to play that was a little different to the games, we had been playing such as Fortnite. I have had my Nintendo Switch now since November 2018, so it took just over a year for the drift to start with my joy cons, they were not dropped or damaged in anyway intentionally it just started happening. I was completely unaware that you could send them back to Nintendo and have them repaired for free. I am curious though, are they still offering this service or is it something that they have now stopped? I would love to be able to get mine repaired, if possible, rather than fork out for brand new ones at the moment.

It can sometimes be difficult to find games especially for younger children as it always tends to be the popular games that get advertised more so than any other games and these games tend to be for people much older such as teens or even adults. It all really depends on if you are looking for free or paid. I know some games are available as part of Apple Arcade which is a gaming subscription service which is $5 a month. Run Sackboy! Run is a great game for someone of the age you are looking for and it's also FREE. This game is the mobile version of Little Big Planet. It's a runner platform game and in the game the player can run and collect, bubbles, coins and stickers which will increase your score through the level. Each level will give you more tasks, so it makes it different each level you reach. Rayman Adventures is another game you could try with your child that they may enjoy. This game is also FREE! In this game the player runs through trying to find secret eggs that protect the sacred tree. Another great one is Animal Crossing Pocket Camp. This one is also free and if you have ever heard of or seen animal crossing or even played it yourself, you will know how much fun can be had in this game. I hope these have helped a little. I would definitely recommend looking into Apple Arcade though as there are a lot of games in there that are suitable for a 4 year old that would be worth checking out.
