very cute little experience! not all the games are good (rally king and guadia quest are notably weak) but i don't think the games themselves are really the point. RGC is really mostly about replicating the feel of the famicom era and showing off the history, and it does that stuff very well. it's super fun being able to check magazines for cheat codes, or hearing arino's mom ask if you want snacks when you're paused. the challenge format also mostly keeps these games pretty fresh, with the exception of guadia quest, which definitely goes too long and has most of the pitfalls common in a famicom rpg. there's a real sense that actual time is progressing and developers are getting better with the console here, which i appreciate. definitely worth a look if you find game history interesting at all, or just like charming cute little ds games
