North America can chase a lot, while Europe kicks it old school.

Today’s downloads have a distinct old-school bent following last week’s indie release festival. The 3DS gets the end of the 2nd wave of Sega 3D Classics with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, while the Wii U picks up the previously announced Pocky & Rocky With Becky, a curiosity of the Game Boy Advance.

In eShop news, the big guns this week are the Wii U port of Race the Sun (you might recall it from its European release last week) and Whispering Willows for both North America and Europe.

Meanwhile, Europe gets ALL of the Virtual Console games. Seriously, the only system on Wii U they didn’t get a release for is the DS, and all of them are 60hz as well. If you’re looking for something new, there’s the outer space adventures of Starwhal to tide you over this week.
