The headliner is the recently announced Dr. Luigi for Wii U, which puts a fresh spin on Dr. Mario's classic formula. Dr. Luigi will be available December 31. The Wii U also gets Zen Studios' nifty action strategy game, CastleStorm.

Meanwhile, the Wii U Virtual Console picks up one of the best Super Nintendo games ever released, Super Punch-Out!!.The 3DS Virtual Console serves up a new game as well with the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis.
