Game of the Month: Wake Me Up When Sleptember Ends
https://retrohandhelds.gg/game-of-the-month-september-2026/
Ever feel like youâre playing the same five blockbusters on repeat? The crew over at Retro Handhelds is officially over it.
Theyâve just announced their “Sleptember” lineup for GotX (Games of the X), a community-driven gaming club. But don’t let the name fool youâthis isn’t about nap time. “Sleptember” is dedicated to the games that were “slept on” by the masses: those hidden gems with no massive franchises or household-name characters to lean on.
If youâre looking to dive into something fresh, here are the heavy hitters for the month:
- Shadowrun (Genesis): A gritty, cyberpunk Action RPG set in a sci-fi Seattle.
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (PS1): A quirky prequel to Mega Man Legends* where you play as the antagonist.
- Shadow Hearts (PS2): A Lovecraftian JRPG with a unique “Judgement Ring” combat mechanic.
If you prefer a marathon over a sprint, the “Game of the Quarter” is PokĂ©mon Diamond and Pearl on the DS.
Whether you’re hunting for rare monsters or exploring cyberpunk alleys, it’s a great time to stop playing what’s popular and start playing what’s actually good.
