Ideally, I'd like a game that would be good for logical thinking and appropriate for an 8 year old for a few years? Any ideas?

If you wiggle the definition of "puzzle games" around, some of them can definitely last for a few years. Something like Slay the Spire is a tactical deck-builder with nearly infinite permutations on a run, and I've got over 600 hours logged in that over the past six years (been playing since early access, my last run was last night on mobile). Any puzzle game with user-created content can also be evergreen, but you won't get that on the Switch.
