Very good

Good luck

Not happy

No games to play what a waste of time no thanks

Doesn’t work

Bought the emulator and you go to the store and can’t even figure out how to buy a game for it. Ridiculous.

I love it but…

The only game I really wanted to play was Mario party, I payed for the app but everytime I try to play it opens and closes…really annoying!

It’s pretty good.

I was genuinely surprised how well it is. Some flaws here and there, like Audio not syncing up properly to the visuals, but it eventually fixes itself. Aside from that, it’s fun to relive some classics from my childhood. However, this next portion is more so for the devs of this app, and why I didn’t rate it 5 stars. In the NDS section, if you add Kirby: Super Star Ultra, that would boost the overall experience and make it 11/10 for me, and others probably. Just food for thought really.
