Reply to comment by Prestigious-Mine-513 in Nintendo Switch OLED, the best games suitable for young kids? by Prestigious-Mine-513

Yes, two player splitscreen is possible in Minecraft. And while the performance on switch is the greatest (I've personally switched to playing Minecraft on Xbox), for young kids playing the game, it's perfectly fine for casual play.

Super! Any way I can find out if Animal Crossing is split screen aswell or if it would require a second Switch to play two players?

Animal crossing is single player. And I think you can only have one island per game.

Damn. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

While you can 'technically' play Animal Crossing with two players on one screen, it's not the greatest. The game does not lend itself well to two players on playing on one screen. I would recommend either getting a second Switch to play that, or letting them take turns playing. You can have multiple players on one "island", so taking turns actually could work well, if your kids are okay with that, that is.

Taking turns could work.

You can technically do two players on one switch, but it isn't split screen, and it's far from ideal. I would personally either have them take turns, or get a second switch. Just my recommendation though, it might work to have them both play at once. I just don't think that method of play is necessarily great.
