Last week, I had the chance to visit the Square Enix offices to take a look at and play their upcoming release of the Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake. And let me tell you, dear readers, you’re in for a treat!

Let’s be honest: there are way too many games out there, and not nearly enough time to play them all. The big hitters get all the love, but what about the games that quietly slap? On this week’s Good Playing With You, we highlighted 6 hidden gems that deserve way more attention than they’ve gotten.

We’ve all been there. You fire up a game, get sucked into its world, fall in love with the story or combat…and then, somehow, somewhere along the way, you just stop playing. Maybe life got in the way. Maybe a tough boss did. Or maybe another game came out that bogarted your attention. We’re diving into the gaming graveyard; those titles we truly enjoyed but never managed to finish.

Nintendo has a long history of launching their consoles with absolute bangers—and some of them were so good, they helped define an entire generation of gaming. On this episode of Good Playing With You, the crew looked back at the six best Nintendo launch titles of all time—games that not only sold systems, but also left a lasting mark on players around the world.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, we’re already dreaming of what titles could push us to preorder the next-gen console.

Sometimes, the right video game can be more than just fun—it can be a mood lifter, a mental break, or even a small emotional reset. Whether it’s through humor, nostalgia, cozy vibes, or just a moment of chaos and creativity, these six games helped us get through hard days (and they might do the same for you!).

Monster Hunter Wilds is an ambitious step forward for the series, for sure, bringing quality-of-life improvements, a more immersive open world, and a truly beautiful ecosystem. But while it excels in accessibility and exploration, veteran hunters may find themselves craving the challenge that defined previous titles.
