Every gamer parent knows that Nintendo reigns supreme when it comes to kid-friendly games that are actually, you know, good games. But did you know there are a bunch of great, kid-friendly games for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4? Ditch the Barbie's Pony Magic and whatever Burger King is giving out digital codes for in kids' meals these days. These games are not only totally safe for younger minds--they will probably nurture them, too. Child of Light is a perfect choice, specifically if you're looking for a game to play with your child. This visually stunning title from Ubisoft's "UbiArt" studio initiative features a simple, storybook fantasy tale about a princess, Aurora, and her journey to save her father. She's joined by a small wisp of fire, Igniculus, who can be controlled by a second player.

As we get closer to the Nintendo Switch launch, the company has begun rolling out more games compatible with the console. The company made some new game announcements Tuesday as a part of its Nindies showcase. "Stardew Valley" -- Switch will be the first console to support the game's new multiplayer feature The company had earlier announced that it would release "Blaster Master Zero" to the Switch and Nintendo 3DS on March 9. Some other titles such as "Thumper", "Perception", "Ultimate Chicken Horse", "Rogue Trooper Redux" and "NBA Playgrounds" are also in the list, while others, including "Celeste", "The Binding of Isaac", "Fast RMX", "Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment" and "Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove" have been previously confirmed for Switch, according to Polygon. The company said that over 60 indie games are set to launch for the console this year.

In typical Nintendo style, the company's latest console – the Switch – is a rather eccentric device. A lot of people are still not entirely sure what to expect when it hits retailers worldwide on 3 March. We've spent a couple of days with one and here's what we've learned so far. The Switch is launching on 3 March, at the price of £280 – though some retailers may offer it for slightly less, or in bundles with selected launch titles. The console features a built-in 6.2in display and two J-Con controllers, which attach either side.

Titles like The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild might be among the best-known for Nintendo's upcoming Switch console, but it's not the only Nintendo Switch launch title. Nintendo announced Thursday it is hosting a Nindies Showcase to highlight upcoming indie releases for the Switch, according to a report from IGN. Nintendo also confirmed that two indie titles will be available for the Switch at launch: Fast RMX and Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove. Fast RMX is a futuristic racing title, while Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is a retro inspired side-scrolling platformer where you attack enemies using a shovel. Shovel Knight's downloadable campaign Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment will also be available at launch. Nintendo's Nindies Showcase event is Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 12 p.m. EST and can be streamed at live.nintendo.com.

Greg Wohlwend is an accomplished independent game designer and artist whose résumé includes critically acclaimed mobile titles Threes, Ridiculous Fishing and Puzzlejuice. His games tend to be whimsical and playful, and his latest project, TumbleSeed, is no different in this regard. TumbleSeed is a "rolly roguelike" -- players guide an adorable rolling seed up a treacherous, procedurally generated mountainside pockmarked with deadly holes and dangerous creatures. Fall into a hole or run into a nasty beast, and players are sent back to the base of the mountain to begin the climb all over again. The concept is easy to grasp, but the game itself is difficult to master, Wohlwend says.
