After adding Super Mario Galaxy 2 to the Wii U eShop yesterday, the consolemaker is back with another big batch of games in their usual Thursday update.

This week, 3DS owners can now download 3D After Burner II, an enhanced rendition of Sega’s arcade classic, and Lufia: The Legend Returns, a well-loved RPG that was originally released for the Game Boy Color in 2001.

The Wii U eShop is now home to a few new games as well including Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight, a wacky NES spinoff of the Street Fighter, and Electronic Super Joy: Groove City, a retro-inspired platformer that is about… I swear to god… the heroine’s search for her missing “Laser-Nipples.”

More information on all of these games (and a few others) can be found after the break.
