Blue Monday has arrived and, no, it's not something new after Christmas Black Friday — the same one designed to keep the industry afloat during the cold winter months. It's the day of the year when mathematicians are so down and down in science, or something. To do what is right, it is understandable; the holidays are over, the days are short and dark and the weather is very bad for the most part (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least).
Fortunately, the above conditions are the same he is perfect by holding yourself in front of the TV with a cup of something warm and a great video game. While the size and enjoyment of advanced communications has grown more than just a runaway these days, games are still a great way to jump into a completely different situation and break it down to everything when things look bleak.
So, below you will find a list (unprofitable, apparently) of some of our favorite games to switch off when it's cold outside and there's no kind of atmosphere. Obviously, getting your friends back to other games and laughing is a great way to blow your mind, so you might want to start with our selection of the best couch co-op games or switch group games if you're not the only gamer.
If you weigh your thumbs up, though, let's take a look at our selection – informally – of the best games that feel good on Nintendo's plans …

Yes, we out he said that the list is not exact – and it is not – but we will start with the best, most spectacular, heart-warming game ever made. Banjo-Kazooie he combines interesting characters and jokes with colorful graphics and some of the most engaging video songs (courtesy of Big Noise Maker Mr. Grant Kirkhope). This is the archetypal platform for collecting 3D marathon, full size before it breaks into more and more powerful workouts, and is one of our go-to games whenever we need something warm and invigorating. Everything will be fine in the end.
You will need the N64 if you want to play it on the Nintendo platform – otherwise it can be found on the Xbox 360 or Xbox One as part Frequency

The History of Zelda: Breath of the Wild it is like a cup of something warm and refreshing. We've beaten an old game, but we're still burning it constantly to wander through Hyrule and find strange Khorok seeds and let the hills along the pure digital air calm our senses. We consider it a relief to relieve pressure (and we found sailing in the Great Sea on it The Wind Waker equally cheering), but Breath of the Wild & # 39; s engaging gameplay and general brightness make it perfect for lifting your spirits and beating the blues in January, February or any other month of the year, too.
Another stop we go in whenever we feel down, a quick blast through the Green Hill Zone would be better. Obviously the popular mix of music, waterfalls and dance flowers may have brightened your mood, but it's much more than that. A weird and comforting thing to travel with an old favorite in muscle memory. We can liken it to listening to a favorite song, or maybe closer, to play your favorite song in music; something about its mechanics is soothing to the soul. It's available on almost all of your computers.

After leaving ours Animal World city if Animal Crossing: New Leaf arriving, we regret not saying goodbye to the residents of our city (Probably, because & # 39; Clinkley Bottom & # 39; was over the grain limit), so now is a better time to add adieu to our 3DS port than to wait Crossing the Animals: New Horizons to arrive? It is time to paint these last few paintings, finish the furniture we worked on and save our stuff before moving to a remote island in Tintendo's most exciting entry.
With a greater focus on agriculture than previous imports, Stardew Valley it is the life of a world that is fighting the same attraction if you want to escape the chaos of January. After discovering your farm heritage there is a lot of work to do but like any good sims, pretty soon everything is clicked on the place and the joy of using a well-oiled machine. With excellent 16-bit visual style, this is a great way to get away from everything wherever you take your Switch.
Weather Rhost Games – either of them – they give a ridiculous color based on the rhythm of the highest caliber, too The rhythm of Zulu Megamix it collects many excellent series times in one beloved package. Lizard stroking, choir performing – you name it, Rhost of Heaven (or The rhythm of Paradise in Europe) you did, all the time to the beat. The WarioWare the series offers the same volume as the wall-to-wall surreal mini- (or micro-) games and any series is worth joining in when you're done with madcap fun.

Monkeys in big balls wrap colored sections – what not to like? Another blue entry from SEGA (to be honest, we may have passed the entire list by M2 (SEGA Ages Switch Line), the Monkey Ball is at its best funny, and even though the latest entry in Switch – the port of the Wii & # 39; s reboot Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz – it doesn't reach the series & # 39; s excellent standards, when done right Monkey Ball is one powerful shot of positivity.

Some of the most fun games ever made, the first Good-Feel entry for the first time in its growing catalog of 2D-based platformers is still the best. Kirby's Epic Yarn it may be sub-HD but it looks fantastic and only cold hearts will fail to warm up when they see the change of pink blobs & # 39; s threadbare and patchwork world. It's also available on the 3DS, to get your daily dose of goodness on the go, too. Imagine what this would look like on Nintendo's current console …

Katamari Damacy REROLL much like liquid anti-cynicism. Although it may also cause some stress, the fun and unique personality of the game will use you with enough charm to make you forget your differences and problems. The modified version is a great way to play short for digging up your PS2, and with a nice HD sheen of the Princess of Cosmos it looks better than ever on Nintendo & # 39; s hybrid console. With love.

Definitely a great confusing mashup, there is something for everyone and color to go out in the open Puyo Puyo Tetris. Whether you are puyos or tetrominos, the game will take to your skin whether to give you the respect of another. With so much to enjoy for one or more players, you can't go wrong connections on a day before a cold winter.

Want to get in a colorful car and burn the rubber at sunset? Horizon Chase Turbo kicking back in an arcade season when all you needed for a good time was something on the floor, sunsets on the horizon and a passionate pilot with their hair blowing in the air. It's more top Gear on SNES than Exit Run, but the blue sky stations sound good and make for a pleasant ride on the switch.

Woshi Woolly's Land took the ball to Kirby and ran with it. While we still chose Kirby's overall game, Woolly World is an excellent platformer with a heartbreaking experience up to 11 (the composite amiibo definitely helped in that respect,). Yoshi's Land of Art on the touch switch it offers the same pretty platform and it's worth playing if the Wii U isn't an option, or the anonymity of these virtual worlds is starting to get worn if you've played all the Good-Feel platforms.
Sure, we've taken a fun-filled chappy path with this selection of great games, but sometimes a chunky gun and an uneducated horde can be a great way to stave off loneliness, so you might want to look for something like Disadvantages of Living 4 either Doom if after an adult experience.
