Both Rayman Origins and Mega Man 3 arrive on the 3DS eShop today, along with a HarmoKnight demo and a pair of DSiWare games in Forgotten Legions and Goony.
Nintendo has also announced several games slated for March 19, including Wii U downloads of retail games Lego City Undercover (which we found disappointing), Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Need for Speed: Most Wanted U.
The Wii U Virtual Console version of Punch-Out!! (not Mike Tyson's version, mind you) will enter the ring on March 20.

The freshly minted Star Wars tables have not been announced for Nintendo platforms, so naturally there's no mention of them in the announcement.
During a Miiverse panel at this year's Game Developer's Conference, we were finally given an update on the status of a Miiverse application coming to smartphones and PC. Fans of this Wii U haven for incredible art will be pleased to know that the app will be leaving the confines of Nintendo's newest home console in just a few weeks.
To be a tad more specific, Miiverse producer Kiyoshi Mizuki stated that the app would be available in April or May, though a firm date has yet to be pinned down. As reported earlier, a 3DS version of Miiverse is still in the works, though there's still no word on when it will be ready. Mizuki-san did, however, state that certain existing 3DS titles will not immediately have Miiverse functionality, though he didn't specify which ones.
It was also revealed that a few more Miiverse updates are on the way. Soon you'll actually be able to link out to specific parts of a game in a post, so that your followers can easily access whatever part you're talking about (presumably only if they've gotten that far). You'll also be able to follow and even reply to other users from within a game, rather than having to open the Miiverse app.
Actually that feels like it's at least on par with PS3's time from quitting a game and coming back to the full XMB. I'm sure someone out there will time it when it's released, though.Crazy Smues in Space said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zBmg_CNsQcc
Still too long, but certainly a vast improvement.
Finished the regular season 16-0. The game selects the MVP, Off. Player of the Year, and Def. Player of the Year. My RB ended up with 2300+ yards and 40+ TDs, so p. much a lock for MVP, right? Nope, that went to a safety from the Browns. He didn't even get OPOY as that went to the center from the Bills (haha, what?). My d-lineman that I always controlled, who ended up with 60+ sacks, didn't get DPOY, either, as that went to the Browns safety.Spaceman Spiff said:Installed the Homebrew Channel on my Wii, and am currently (well, not at the moment since I'm at work) playing Tecmo Superbowl 3 as the Dolphins. Steamrolled the Jets & Pats (hung 73 points on NE, which includes 2 fumbles, 1 int, and 1 KR all returned for TDs), beat Cincinnati fairly easily, and beat Pittsburgh after pulling away in the 4th in what was a close game up to that point. Fumbled 4 times in Pitt territory and lost 3 of them. The 4th was by my RB as he was crossing the goal line, but fortunately I was able to recover it in the endzone.
Don't know why I didn't do this earlier.

The download store for Nintendo’s new home console will be morphing next week, alongside the long-awaited firmware update for the Wii U.
The new software will let you move data from one USB drive to another and supports automatic update downloads while in standby mode. Virtual console games will be playable off-tv on the Wii U gamepad and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that the company’s looking to bring GBA and N64 games coming to the Wii U virtual console, as well.
