Wah wah!
I honestly don't recall the last time we've been able to say this; there's three Virtual Console games on the Wii U this week. The main event of the three is of course, New Super Mario Bros, a game so evergreen it was showing up in NPD Top 10 lists after the 3DS launched.
OK, yes, I'm well aware that two of those VC slots are taken up by Mega Man Battle Network 3. You don't need to point that out. Devote your energy to something like Nihilumbra, or maybe Ultratron from Curve is more your style?
On the 3DS front, since the biggest release of the week shouldn't be touched with a 39 1/2 foot pole, the Sega side of Sammy comes through with the last 3D Classic for a couple of months, 3D Thunder Blade.
Update @ 1:15: STEALTH RELEASE ALERT! Stretchmo, the free to start sequel to Pushmo World is out.
