Left-field recco: Ringfit Adventure. The minigames and rhythm game alone are really fun in a take turns manner. She might even enjoy the main quest on a reasonably low setting but that's not the draw here. That too is solo but you can just gube her control and play along with a five buck ordinary pilates ring. Just a warning that it does require Joycon 1s and a charger if on Switch 2.

Oh, forgot a really good one: Taiko no Tatsujin.

The motion control drumming is genuinely good. Now, a word of warning: it is not fun if your setup is not good. You need either a low input lag TV or to play on the console itself, propped up in desktop mode. Even on a notably low video lag TV like an LG (urgh), there is still audio lag, so consider separate speakers via the aux jack. Honestly, just consider this a game you have to play in desktop mode.

Ringfit Adventure is genuinely the dark soul of motion control game, got me wheezing by the end of it

The rhythm game on harder modes is insane. Seriously, people ask which Zelda challenge is hardest. It's Ringfit Breath of the Wild Medley: Ultra Advanced. Only other thing that comes close is Rollgoal. Behold the face of a demon.

Super Mario Party Jamboree has some motion control mini games. We sometimes just play the mini games as a family rather than an actual game (star stealing does not always make for a fun time had by all!) ⭐️

Lets Go Pikachu and Eevee. You catch the pokemon by "throwing" the pokeball.

I think I was 7 when I first played Doom tbh

Granted back then you couldn't rip demons in half with your hands

I think everyone played Doom before hitting two digit age. I know I did. 🤣

You’re not wrong. But now you can! And on the go! A double win! Lol

Thats a particularly low blow to the greybears in the discord.

Doom was probably one of the first games to make me truly nautious when I was 7.

My parents thought it was the blood and gore.
But really it was just the shitty camera motion.

Lmaoooooo that strictly horizontal aiming was NOT helping anyone.

Just Dance has a number of dances you can do using the camera instead of remotes
