Bad review titles aside, I was thoroughly impressed by the care tended to for making an easily accessible collection app for gamers out there that either wish to collect and try new games for sake of nostalgia, someone interested in the 64 revolution that changed gaming, or wanted to catch them all to be the very best like no one ever was.
I said bad review titles were out of the way. Not bad jokes.
The review app contains the data and statistics of various games, and is usually updated to match the price to gain an accurate estimate if your collection. And though small at first, as your collection grows, a smile follows realizing the value of these items. For some gamers, this leads into deeper research of why the games are as rare or expensive as they are, and soon interesting discoveries are made. I may never had known that one of the most difficult games to ever get was once at my once local Blockbuster with once grand clay fighting animation.
But everything changed when the streaming nation attacked.
But now Im getting off track. This is an excellent app for anyone who desires to start or complete a collection.
But it has its flaws.
But why do I keep starting new paragraphs with but? Ah, the limitations of my literary stupidity....
Youll notice some titles are not in your local retro game store, nor in their systems. Thats because the app combines both NA and EU games. Which can get annoying when you have a game, but it says you need the one over there with a slightly different name to complete it. (Like Star Fox and Lylat Wars....wait....If you take the first word from one and the last word from that one, you get.....Lylat Fox! ...Hm. No. Something is missing....) Also, youll notice that some are either EU exclusive or US exclusive. And seeing as these games are region locked, you better be ready to pull out your n64 passports or cash for a new system based on that region (Except youre probably broke from buying everything up to this point...) This wouldnt bother me too much if they had a save function for which area you live for a proper 100% completion. Or perhaps extend it to Japan exclusives, since youve already stuck Rakugakids in my face.
With that last knit pick aside, this app is recommended for any fan and collector of the n64. So, the rating is...
4.5/5
Yes, I rounded it. But most people over look apps for missing 1 star. 4 stars is still good, people.
