Denkiphile writes: "The digital market’s continuing trend of delivering both great indie games and ambitious yet risky titles. Thanks to this, gamers are able to get their hands on Bangai-O HD Missile Fury, a new iteration in the classic variety shmup. The niche nature of the game made it impossible to be released outside of a digital market. Some may call it masochism, but hardcore gamers and shmup fans are definitely getting their fill with this iteration of Bangai-O."
"If you’re a Wii U user and you don’t feel like forking over money for a physical disc of Kirby goodness, Nintendo’s got the hookup for you on the eShop.
The newest batch of Virtual Console titles include all three SNES Kirby games, and buying two of them nets you the other free. If pink puffballs aren’t your thing, you might have a soft spot for Nintendo’s trademark gorilla; Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is now available in retail and digitally on the 3DS eShop.
PSN users now have the ability to pre-purchase Capcom’s Remember Me, which releases June 4. There are also a ton of Ultimate Editions of games on sale for Plus and non-Plus users alike.
Steam shoppers can pre-purchase Deadpool, the fourth-wall breaking anti-hero’s debut game, which finally hits PCs on June 14, a week and a half before consoles. There’s a nifty sale for Xbox Live Gold users that lets them get Bangai-O HD for half off. Just keep in mind that your digital purchase won’t migrate over to the Xbox One (not that I’m trying to guilt anyone or anything).
Finally, Resident Evil: Revelations is now available for nearly every digital platform. I wholeheartedly recommend it: it’s the best RE to come out in several years.
For all the rest, hit up the mega list."
