Although there hasn't been a digital release of a Wii game on Wii U for North America since January, the service is expanding in Japan with a Nintendo classic and the first true 3rd party game.

Super Mario Galaxy was made available on the Japanese eShop at the discounted price of 1,890 yen through June 14 before going to the standard price of 2,700 yen afterward. Buying the game will also give a 30% discount on any existing Wii title available in Japan.

Punch-Out will also release in Japan in June, followed by HOSPITAL: 6 Doctors - known internationally as Trauma Team - from Atlus in July.
