Customers praise the NES Classic Edition's game selection, ease of use, small size, and the inclusion of HDMI for modern TVs. Positive comments also highlight the nostalgic appeal and affordable price. However, a common complaint centers on the short controller cord length. Overall, the system is seen as a fun and easy-to-use retro gaming experience.

    It's definitely fun to relive the classics. Not many games on here that I HAD to play, but the ones I did are enjoyable.

    My original NES still works but gets all those lines through the picture and there is an annoying buzzing sound due to the AF. This unit comes in crystal clear on the HD tv. Only took me 2 days to conquer Zelda (again)! My wife and I are enjoying the games we grew up with. The only thing I do not like is the selection of games Nintendo decided to preload. I mean come on how can you leave out UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, SELECT, START. Contra rules!

    Fun for the whole family. The wife and I can beat our teenagers at most games so that alone is worth the purchase. Wish the second controller wasnt so expensive, and you must buy the extended length controller cords!!

    Very enjoyable and nostalgic experience. The only thing missing is changing game cartridges, and who would miss that? My only disappointment is that Duck Tales wasn't on here. Love that game!

    Great for reliving the old classics with a new generation. Only comes with 1 controller that has a very short cord.

    Bought the NES with Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3. Although it only came with one controller (which is pretty scratched up) my 11 year old is loving it!! It's been fun for my husband and I as well as this is the gaming system WE grew up on. It was glitching quite a bit the first time we hooked it up with all 3 games but after "breaking it in" several times, it works like a charm now! Very happy I have an awesome 11 year old who wanted the original NES for Christmas and so thankful I was able to find one here.

    Great games, console, etc. only issue is the chord is really short. Like so short you are literally stuck right in front of the TV and have to get creative to make space.
