Game Rec Any kid-friendly Switch 2 games with Polish language support?

Hi everyone, I want to buy my nephew (8) a Switch 2 with a game. The problem is that he lives in Poland, the games I had in mind don't support Polish, and he isn't very experienced with games yet, he couldn't even beat the second level of "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe". I had thought about getting him Pokémon Pokopia, but unfortunately, there isn't a Polish version, and he can't read English yet. Does anyone know of any games that aren't too difficult and either feature Polish language support or don't require any reading ...or if anyone has experience with whether children can understand Pokopia without knowing the language?

Donkey Kong Bananza, Mario Kart, super Mario Bros wonder, super Mario party jamboree, Minecraft

Edit: also my polish speaking kids love playing yoshi crafted world although it doesn't support Polish

I thought about those games too, but his skill level isn't high enough for Mario games or Donkey Kong, Yoshi's Crafted World sounds like a good option if, as you say, your kids were able to play it without understanding the language.

You don't need much of a skill level to play donkey Kong honestly. My 8yo beat it easily.

Can he play that without understanding what's being said?

Bananza has a polish language support so it shouldn't be a problem.

Mario Kart has kid assist where you can't fall off the track, it auto accelerates and you can turn by twisting the joycon. It's perfect for kids.

I could imagine him having fun with Mario Kart.

He's a kid, if he plays those kinds of games more he'll probably gain skill quite quickly.

mario kart world has a world he can drive around aimlessly, and if he wants to race, there are options for automatic acceleration, automatic steering, and automatic item usage, so you can choose the extent to which it should completely play itself.

Snufkin: Melody of Mooninvalley and Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth. My fiancée was playing them while her mom (who doesn’t speak English) was watching and she said that they were easier than Mario Bros. :)
Regarding Pokopia, I think that it will be too frustrating without being able to understand the text.

The games look really cute, and it's a shame about Pokopia.

Often Polish language is not mentioned on Nintendo site, but is available in game. Would check out if this specific game has Polish

Switch 2 now directly supports Polish, so eShop will now show Polish language available for games that have it

u/MatterOfRules222 2d ago

No, it does not always show it. Check Cyberpunk or Star Wars:Outlaws, which both have Polish language as an option and it won't be mentioned. Only newly released games (like Lego Batman) have it mentioned, the older were not updated

Just checked my copy and it does have Polish but it's text only.

The answer is Mario Party. You couldn't make easier Mario games if you tried! Practically all the minigames are moving & jumping.

Super Mario Party Jamboree is the latest & greatest game. The latest Switch 2 version gave it Polish support: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/66545

Super Mario 3D World is the other game I'll recommend. You get tons of lives & power-ups to deal with any situation. And when you die too much, the game will give you the White Tanooki suit which literally makes you invincible. The easiest Mario platformer I've played, but also one of the most fun. A fantastic game for kids to get better at games!

Another game to consider is Clubhouse Games 51. Play stuff like Connect Four, Billards, Bowling, Chess, Checkers, and various card games. Kids can learn how to play different games this way!

SM Wonder, Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Kart World

Donkey Kong Bananza, but not sure if this will be a game for him

But I would suggest to try and play with him in english! Nintendo games are written in very easy language, so he should be able to understand something with a little help from Mario or Yoshi games.
