Remember when we used to be upset that nothing was coming out each week on Nintendo systems? Well, it almost seems like it was building to this. This week features a half-dozen new Wii U eShop games in addition to an awesome GBA Virtual Console title in Mario Tennis: Power Tour and a number of interesting 3DS eShop games. Guacamelee can scratch your Metroid itch, Armillo can scratch your 3D platformer itch, and Bombing Bastards can scratch your chaotic five-player multiplayer itch.

DrinkBox Studios' Metroid-inspired brawler platformer comes to Wii U with a number of enhancements in the Super Turbo Championship Edition. Playing as a luchador who is on a mission to save El Presidente's daughter, you go between the World of the Living and the World of the Dead collecting power-ups and uncovering secrets while beating the tar out of a variety of skeletons. You can scope out the map on the Wii U GamePad and even play co-op locally.Fuzzy Wuzzy Games' debut title is 3D platformer that is a weird blend of Sonic the Hedgehog, Marble Madness, Super Monkey Ball, Super Mario Galaxy, and '90s mascot platformers. You control a space armadillo who rolls around in a ball trying to save the day by collecting critters and defeating enemies. The levels are built for replay, with certain areas only unlockable after purchasing late game upgrades. Armillo is available for $5.99 instead of the regular $7.99 for its first three weeks.With no Bomberman games in the works, it looks like it's up to other people to make new Bomberman games.

You build up a team of squids that wage war with a bunch of evil shellfish. This tongue-in-cheek game features a lengthy and humorous story that tells the odyssey of these squids over the course of a 10-15 hour adventure.A game with the name Bike Rider might sound unassuming, but Bike Rider DX2: Galaxy is one of the most beloved 3DS eShop games in Japan. Made by Spicysoft, this Trials-esque game puts your in control of a little bike rider guy who goes all over the galaxy dealing with obstacles and using power-ups, such as one that turns you into a "funky frog," to advance through levels. It features an endless mode and also a variety of online multiplayer challenges.Usually hidden object games are apparent by the title, but City Mysteries makes its true nature a mystery. If you couldn't gather, City Mysteries is a game in which you look for hidden objects in images of cities ranging from New York to Paris. It's basically that game you play in a bar, but it's on your 3DS. So maybe bring your 3DS to a bar?Set during World War II, Glory of Generals is a turn-based strategy game developer by Circle Entertainment.

As I said then, I don't really know where to begin with this game. I've been thinking about it for two weeks and I still am trying to wrap my mind around it. In this one, it's a fairy tale? And you have the power of the God of the Stars, which lets you connect dots because, I don't know, you can save the day that way?This is not a drill. This is not a joke. This is a WiiWare game. A brand new WiiWare game for your Wii. It's 2014. Wii hasn't been relevant since, at best, 2011. Nothing makes sense. Down is up. Up is down. This is a karaoke game that you can also play on your Wii U in Wii Mode. Or you can buy it on the Wii that might be sitting in storage. But you don't really buy it. You just "rent" use of the karoake library. So, buy it for $5 and you get 6 hours of playtime. There's also a demo.
