Fore! Make way for a healthy dose of digital releases.

May's first drop of releases is crammed with a slew of this and that. Mario Golf: World Tour and Kirby: Triple Deluxe are the headliners. However's there's plenty of good smaller titles as well. Need a puzzle fix? Try Picross e4. Maybe you need something unique and off-the-wall; try Stick it to the Man! And yes, we have a solid classic for you too. Mega Man Xtreme, anyone?
