Game of the Month: FebZuary Hands the Reins to Zu

https://retrohandhelds.gg/game-of-the-month-february-2026/

FebZuary is here—and Zu’s got the keys to the retro kingdom.

After last year’s “Omakase October,” Retro Handhelds’ GotX community handed over the reins to Zu (yes, that Zu from Zu Reviews), who curated a slick nine-game lineup for February’s Game of the Month. The community voted, and the winners? A legendary trifecta: The Legend of Zelda (1986), Metal Gear Solid 2 (2001), and Mega Man Zero (2002). Think: ancient dungeons, sneaky spies, and a one-armed cyborg with a glowing sword. Pure nostalgia fuel.

Meanwhile, the Game of the Quarter is Breath of Fire III—a 42-hour JRPG epic where you play as a dragon boy with side quests, fishing minigames, and dragon transformations. Yes, really. And if you’re short on time? The weekly GotW (aka RetroBits) drops bite-sized gems like Metroid Prime Pinball and Golden Axe II. (Fun fact: Golden Axe II was the 200th GotW. We’re not crying—you’re crying.)

All you do? Play, screenshot the credits, and rack up “imaginary internet points” that buy real merch. No cheat codes needed—just passion, patience, and possibly a mild case of “why is my controller vibrating?”

Grab your handheld. The Z-Blades are calling. 🐉🕹️
