So maybe you missed out on Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. That's fine, we cool. But there's no excuse for missing out on this week's double dose of Monster Hunter loving. With a 3DS and Wii U demo for March's Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, now is your chance to find out what causes riots to break out in Japan. Keeping this demo train going is Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed for the 3DS. Also this week, F-Zero is only 30¢ as part of the Famicom 30th Anniversary Wii U (inhale) Virtual Console Sneak Peek Sale-abration. If you're into handhelds, Viking Invasion 2 is available on the 3DS eShop, and Picdun makes its return to DSiWare with Picdun 2: Witch's Curse.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
Wii U Virtual Console:
Originally released as a SNES launch title in 1991, F-Zero is a high-speed, futuristic racer known for punishing difficulty and its heavy use of Mode 7. F-Zero also boasted its own unique set of rules; race placement was important, but so was survival. Each vehicle has a power meter that depletes upon making contact with the track's walls or other racers. When the power meter is gone, so is your chance at winning. Boasting 15 tracks and four selectable vehicles, F-Zero is a fun trip down memory lane for only 30¢, but hurry, the offer only lasts until March 21.
3DS eShop Games:
Viking Invasion 2 - Tower Defense - $7.99
"The Vikings are coming! The Vikings are coming," you shout to your fellow villagers. "They're coming down the river! Defy all odds and build three archery towers before they get here!" You know this fight all too well, in fact, it wasn't too long ago you took the life of many a viking during the DSiWare War of 2009. You're certainly well versed in the art of defending one's land with towers, but the vikings have some new tricks up their wolf-fur sleeves. Perhaps even a god wishes to rain destruction on you!
3DS Virtual Console:
Originally released for the NES in 1992, Yoshi is a match-two puzzler from the fine folks at Game Freak (who went on to create the less-popular Pokémon series of games). Enemies like Bloopers, Goombas, and Boos fall from the top of the screen, creating mish mash of Mario nightmare fuel at the bottom. Don't forget, this was an Ambassador title, so watch out for the free update.
DSiWare games:
Picdun 2: Witch's Curse - $4.99
Dungeons don't have to be as dark and dreary as you'd expect. Sure, Picdun 2's dungeons are still places you wouldn't want to go, but at least there's some creativity going on in their design! A concept brought to life in Go Series! Picdun, players explore the many layers of a dungeon, looking for an exit. As they travel, the game auto maps their travels, and a picture is slowly revealed. Explore every square inch of the dungeon to discover what the disturbing architects have crafted for you. As you explore, monsters will attempt to kill you, so be quick with the stylus and swipe them to death.
