While only comprising a few games, this franchise has come a long way since its simpler, obscure origins as a GameCube launch game. The original broke ground with its innovative, kid-friendly take on survival horror, along with its cartoon themes and fun vacuum-sucking mechanics.

The DS sequel filled in some detail and added multiplayer, while this 2019 Switch rendition fleshes out the formula with a vast hotel locale and fun online challenges as well as competitions. Kids can enjoy exploring the intricate mansion and ghost-busting solo, or team up with friends or family by way of some solid co-op features.
