Before Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, the last 3DS game released in the US was Tomodachi Life so there is your answer for the 3DS too much of a games drought. Wii U just needs more advertisement.

3DS has a mature library and shouldn't need huge games every month and this point of its lifecycle. 

It has NSMB2, Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Animal Crossing, Pokemon X/Y, Nintendogs + cats, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus Uprising, Luigi's Mansion 2, Zelda: OoT 3D, Zelda: Link Between Worlds, Mario & Luigi, Pilotwings, Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Mario Party, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Kingdom Hearts, Super Street Fighter IV, Tekken, Ridge Racer, Bravely Default, Resident Evil, Shin Megami Tensei, Sonic, Metal Gear Solid 3, LEGO City, Angry Birds, LEGO various, etc. etc. already. 

For people who say the DS had big games every month ... wrong. Nintendo's notable 2008 DS output:

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin

Kirby Super Star Ultra

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon

Pokemon Ranger

Crosswords DS

And not much else. 3DS' Nintendo output at this stage of the game is fairly typical for what previous Nintendo platforms have had after their third holiday season. 

by this point everybody knows 3DS is no DS in terms of sales/popularity so it does in fact still need new big releases in order to maintain momentum.

it doesnt necessarily need a big game every month but it hasnt recieved anything major since Tomodachi Life in early June and doesnt have anything major until Smash Bros in early October, thats 4 months.
