Super Smash Bros (Wii U)

 I still remember unwrapping a copy of Super Smash Bros for Christmas many years ago for the N64, and I regarded it as the best gift ever!! Now you have the chance to instill that feeling into your kid's or whomever will be with you throughout the holidays. 

Smash Bros will forever be the game that you can sit down on the couch, and friends will become enemies and family members can become arch rivals. This game is packed with numerous Nintendo characters from Pickachoo and the Wii Fit trainer to the always recognizable Donkey Kong and Mario. Everyone in the room, which can be up to 8 players, will be pit against one another, on any grand stage to see who amongst you can hold the crown. This game will certainly leave the room filled with joy and sometimes anger (after repetitive losses), but will get the job done when it comes to keeping the family occupied and together.
