One of the best parts about owning a new retro handheld is diving into the process of setting it up with an endless array of games. It’s when my favorite game, aptly named “Choice Paralysis” kicks in. Fortunately, RH has an incredible program called GotX, led by its intrepid leader Rapid99. It’s our community book club equivalent…for video games!
GAMES OF THE MONTH: WHAT IS IT?
Essentially, Games of the Month, or GotX, offers a way to play your way through games that you might not have ever thought of. In addition to the themed monthly games, Games of the Month has expanded to include “Role Playing Game of the Quarter”, or RPGotQ, and Game of the Week, also known as, Retro Bits.

For Mobile May, Retro Handhelds is focused only on games that originated from a portable gaming system (Game Boy, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS, etc.). All of the games that were nominated (including the three winners) followed this criterion, putting the “handheld” back in Retro Handhelds (also putting a lot of Castlevania in Retro Handhelds).
