4. GETTING A SNEAK PEAK AT SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY

We all know that the real action takes place away from the maddening crowd and this year is of no exception as a lucky few will be able to get their hands on the hotly-anticipated God of War and Spiderman.

Nintendo has also offered players early access to the much lusted after Super Mario Odyssey. We can’t wait to switch up the Cascade Kingdom world with Mario and Cappy.
