    Lots of great games on here! It's really nice that each game can have 4 save states. If you can get your hands on one, definitely get it. You won't be sorry!

    Lots of good memories with the original Nintendo, so we had to try the new one. Lots of fun games for the price. Should have included 2 controllers though...

    NES Classic shines

    The NES Classic delivers an impressive package. The form factor is great; it's a miniaturized NES that gets all the details right (hitting that retro-nerd itch) while letting you connect to a non-CRT TV (i.e., getting with the HD times). The game collection can be hit and miss (how come Super C but not Contra? No Castlevania III?), but the user interface hits the bull's-eye. Swapping between games and managing save states is handled easily and elegantly. This system is great for retro-game fans, and it's the perfect entry point for those looking to learn about Nintendo's past.

    Finally got a Nintendo Classic and the family loves it. Cords are super short but you can get a pair of 6' extension cords on amazon for $10.

    I waited months for this and my wait online over night was worth it. It takes me back to the days where games were simple and a lot of fun. Play it everyday.

    This console brought me back some great memories but the cord for the controllers were not long enough and I did not like that I had to buy extensions for the cords. Hopefully, they release it again with longer cords for the controllers.

    The only complaint is that the cord is only but maybe 1.5 ft long so an extender is needed if you don't want to ruin your eyes by sitting close to the tv.

    This game system is so much fun! The only qualms I have with it is that it only comes with one corded controller. The controller cord is very short so it's almost impossible to play the game without straining your eyes/neck to look at the TV
