Christmas Gift Guide: Wii U Games

The Wii U has been out now for over a year and has been quite neglected by gamers. This year the console looks far more attractive thanks to a decent selection of games and a lower price point than last year. The console is also much cheaper than a PS4 or Xbox One.

It’s definitely the most family friendly console at the moment and a perfect choice for families. If you’re buying for a Wii U gamer this year then you might have a hard time choosing the best game.
