    The NES runs the classic old-school games perfectly. The cord is short just like everyone else has said I would suggest picking up an extension otherwise great little system at a great price if you can get ahold of one

    Great system for playing old games. The controller cord length is a joke though. Not having a Bluetooth adapter available and not being able add new games are two huge issues. But the gaming experience is well worth it.

    The system itself is awesome. My 8 year old and wife really enjoy it. Main drawback is the absurdly short controller cord. I ended up getting a 8bitdo wireless controller and it's super amazing.

    Hard to go back from modern to this

    The Classic is fine to show off when there's company who grew up in the same era as it. Playing it though is a bit of a different matter. The controller will make you realize how much grips have made your hands weaker, while the controller itself will feel too small after long bouts, The games themselves are fine emulations with only minor gripes for those who grew up with it and are there to merely nitpick. But they too are a reminder of how soft and weak you've become thanks to modern video games and it's constant hand holding. Great to show off and if you're one who remembers these games with great fondness, but if you're looking to jump in without having any memory of the console or the games, you're better off buying a more modern game/console.
