This week is another light one in terms of eShop releases, mostly thanks to the fact that Splatoon isn’t coming out until the end of the month. That being said, Capcom is continuing their Mega May event with the release of Mega Man Battle Network 3 on the Wii U virtual console. Nihilumbra is also joining the Wii U eShop as a downloadable title. If you missed the first New Super Mario Bros. that released on the Nintendo DS, that title is also joining the Wii U virtual console this week.
