There’s nothing better than gaming together with friends and family over the festive period, and whether your living room’s filled with gaming newcomers or experienced players, you’ll find something to delight everyone on Wii U!

Multiplayer Mario

Whether they’re racing, battling or beating Bowser, Mario and friends are always ready for fun with friends and family!

Mario Kart 8

Get behind the wheel with Mario and friends in fast-paced races guaranteed to generate lively conversation! Up to four players can go head-to-head on a single Wii U console, or two players in the same room can head online together to take on other racers around the world!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Settle old rivalries – or start new ones! – in this action-packed fighting game. Duke it out as 40+ famous gaming characters like Mario, PAC-MAN, Sonic the Hedgehog and more, or leap into battle yourself as your Mii character! What’s more, up to eight people in the same room can play at once – perfect for instant action with big groups!

Super Mario 3D World

If co-operation and collaboration is more your cup of tea, then take a trip to the Sprixie Kingdom in this free-wheeling carnival of imagination, fun, and lots of laughter! Up to four people can work together to collect coins, grab the Goal Pole, and beat Bowser!

Family favourites

When the order of the day is instant fun for players of any age, check out one of these sure-fire crowd-pleasers.

Wii Sports Club

With five sports everyone can have a go at – tennis, bowling, boxing, baseball and golf – there’s instant fun for all the family, and with the Wii Remote Plus, every swing and strike is more accurate than ever! New Wii U owners can also try all the sports for free for 24 hours!

Just Dance 2015

Everybody likes a boogie at this time of year, so invite them to cut a rug to over 40 tracks ranging from guilty pleasures to timeless classics. Lead your back-up dancers in a routine in On Stage Mode, or dance as one: the party power is in your hand!

Wii Party U

Pull faces, dance around the Wii U GamePad, scoop imaginary water and much more in lively House Party games that are unlike anything else! And even if the TV’s in use, the multiplayer fun keeps going with unique Tabletop Minigames: get two people around the Wii U GamePad for miniature baseball, football, and more!

Games where anything can happen

One minute you’re lobbing lumpy-headed characters at a target, the next you’re playing invisible beach tennis, then you’re fleeing from two canine guards armed with giant cutlery. Be prepared for surprises in these hilarious games!

Nintendo Land

Dive into co-operative play with up to five players in Team Attractions, or try out unique head-to-head play in Competitive Attractions that pit the Wii U GamePad holder against four players in real battles of wits, skill and skulduggery!

Game & Wario

Take on a classic drawing-and-guessing game with a distinctly Wario twist, fling Fronks onto a floating island, play a sneaky fruit thief or an agent trying to collar them, and see who’s got the better rhythm in a finger-based dance-off! And best of all, up to five people can play with only one Wii U GamePad, so everyone can gather around and get involved!

Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party

Turn off the TV, sit in a circle around the GamePad, and get ready for completely unpredictable entertainment! Engage in over 20 silly physical minigames, like passing a sleeping badger between players or dancing a waltz: unpredictable fun for up to eight people awaits!
