    The console came just as described. It is a great way of playing NES games, as I didn't have one to play when it came out.

    Nostalgia in HD

    I must admit, my 2 hour wait time in line to grab one of these was well worth it. Overall, this is a great mini system, much smaller in person than what it appears to be online. It is so tiny, it can fit virtually anywhere and compliment any entertainment setup with its "cute" retro look. Like everyone else, my main gripe is the short cord that it comes with, but not much of a problem for me since I put it on a 15" TV situated on my in home bar for close up play. I purchased a second controller on Amazon with a 6ft cord for player 2. Playing 30 year old games in HD is awesome. It comes with a retro poster to add to your game room. My kids love it, and I am having a blast sharing my childhood memories with them. I hope Nintendo gives us a part 2 with 30 more games

    Amazing Emulation and Features

    On top of the phenomenal selection of games that the NES Classic comes with, you also get a variety of features. The game select menu is very well done and will give you a huge sense of nostalgia, and also provides saves states for each title. On top of that, you have multiple ways to emulate your games with old TV filters and frames to keep the aspect ratio the same as the original. You are getting more than what you pay for with this product!

    I have wanted one of these for two years. Yes two acutal years to be able to find one. Now that I have it I really enjoy it. I just wish Nintendo didn't drop the ball on this on launch. Get one if you can.
