I bought a Switch before I got married. A few years later Animal Crossing was released and my wife got into it. At some point she slipped and asked if I could bring her “her” Switch, which we still tease her about to this day. The good thing was playing and using the controller got her used to controllers in general. I eventually learned she’d been playing Overcooked using the buttons and stick on the same side of the controller, playing with one hand. She’s much better now! Nowadays the kiddo uses it the most playing Zelda. I really haven’t used it much myself lately.
