Any other suggestions for family-oriented games for a mom, dad, grandparents, and a 6 year old girl? Any Mario Party reviews? Is Animal Crossing a game a 6 yo can manage on her own?

I have the main Switch console- I assume comes with one controller- and 1 more set. Is that sufficient for most games or do you need each need a pair for most 3-4 player games?
For most (any I've played) 3-4 player games you don't need a set each, just individual controllers, so the set the system comes with and the one you bought should suffice.

You can download all the games, and I would recommend that over physical games anyway.

Both Mario Party and Mario Kart are good for all ages, including a 6-year-old. Friends of ours have a 5-year-old and they have both Mario Party and Animal Crossing. They have some trouble with a few minigames but still enjoy Mario Party. Animal Crossing is a no-brainer. You might want to play it to get the island going, but a 6-year-old will have no problem playing it since they can basically play it however they want.

EDIT: I think OutoftheCube has a few kids and a Switch, so if you're looking for games outside of Animal Crossing or Mario Party down the line (they're great options to start with imo) then he probably has great recommendations for kids.
