    Finally, I was able to find this item at the Best Buy in Merrillville, IN. The games that are preloaded are mostly good to great ones. Overall completely happy with this purchase. Couple downfalls is that the controller that comes with the system has a very short cord, but you can purchase wireless controllers separately or use original controllers with longer cords. Also, I wish other games were preloaded on it, but this is more a personal preference.

    This is an amazing retro system for playing a lot of games I grew up with. The size of the system is small and portable making it easy to connect and play with friends. Overall, it is a fantastic purchase for those who remember playing the original NES System and those who want to experience it for the first time.

    This little mini NES is so easy to plug and play! I plug it to my computer for powering it and use my hdmi monitor to play, it’s so simple and unlike the original it doesn’t crash at all. I had this when I was a kid 38 years ago and now it’s a blast to play the originals again.

    Back in my day this is a deal of over 2000 dollars for 60 bucks. You just can't go wrong. I do recommend to get the extension cord, promise me you'll thank me! It is so small comparable to the regular Nintendo Entertainment System. Very portable so you might want to consider getting a case as well. Game on friends!

    This item is great for nostalgia purposes, especially the Mario games. The main problem is the controller is wired and the cable is unbelievably short, forcing you to either really close to a TV (which we did when we were youngsters - but TVs weren't so big); or b) search for alternative solutions (long HDMI cable, long power cable, wireless controller, etc.). I would recommend this to a friend but only those that were into the NES when it first came out.

    Starting with the issues, it was obviously hard to grab one and the cord for the NES is pretty short. An extender is recommended so it doesn't get pulled down. Otherwise, it's worth the money. Especially comparing it to eshop NES games which costs $5-$6, the games here value for $2 each totaling to 30 games.

    Fantastic little emulator, and very easy to mod. It comes with a standard 30 games, but it's very easy to add more NES titles. Looking it up online is easy and an amateur could do it. Don't feel intimidated, just get this and go for it. I liked it so much I got one for my dad. :)

    As a child of the 80's, everyone grew up playing the NES. This product does not disappoint. Not only do you get 30 GREAT games included, you can save your game on games you were not able to on the original version!! If you loved NES, you MUST buy this system. It is a STEAL at $60! ENJOY!!

    I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these and it is AWESOME! It has brought back all the memories of my first gaming system and more. Overall it's really cool. The first thing you'll notice is that it's way smaller than you think. I knew it'd be small, but not really, really small. The cord for the controller is super short, but you can buy an extension. Only other problem is the need to hit reset to choose a different game. Overall not bad. Worth the $60, nothing more tho.

    For 60$ you cant beat it. Yes, it would be better if it had wifi capability and you could download other games to it. If you are looking for a cheap way to have classic NES games then you should buy it. It is totally worth the money. The short controller cord isnt an issue if you use a longer HDMI cord or purchase the cord extension. I would recommend this to anyone who loves Classic Mario, Zelda, Pacman, Techmo Bowl, etc. It has 30 games that you would easily spent more than $60 to get.

    This is awesome for the retro gamer who loved the classic NES games when you were little. Super tiny so easily portable, loaded with some decent games and overall a cool little invention. A little overpriced but really cool overall and worth the value for the nostalgia.

    Blast from The Past

    I couldn't wait to get a Nintendo Classic. I grew up playing the regular NES and many of the games that are included on the Classic. I was surprised how small it really is...it fits in the palm of your hand, which makes it pretty cute and good that it doesn't take up much space. It is a lot of fun to play. I only wish the included controller had a longer cord. Due to the short length of the cord, you have to sit extremely close to the TV. Other than the cord, I have zero complaints!

    Awesome! Plays just like the original (which I still have and it works) but the new one is 30% the size, has 30 games preloaded (not cartridges), and hooks up with a HDMI cable. My grandchildren, 4 years old and 6, love it (not to mention their parents who grew up with the original)!

    Comes with like 30 games. Pretty much all the classics. Cords are short, so even though it's 60 dollars I'd advise getting the 6 foot pack 2 pack of cords and an extra controller. 10 dollars each. So really it's an 80 dollar system but it's really worth it if you enjoy retro gaming.

    Relive your childhood and introduce it to those that have never played the original NES. Great gift for all ages. 30 pre-loaded games will provide hours of fun. Connects to your television via a HDMI connection. The wire for the controller is short, so I would recommend purchasing an extension cord.

    I recommend this product if you're thinking about buying it. It's great for a game night or just trying to play something simple. Instead of high tech games which you have to use each button to make progress lol. Have most of all the original games. Just overall a great choice.

    Retro Cool But Currently Lacking

    This little retro return of the original Nintendo has much to offer in terms of nostalgia. Most of the games you know and love are all preloaded on the system and ready to play on any TV with an HDMI input. The only complaint I have is that the cord length of the controllers make it impossible to sit back and relax. I believe the cord length is about 2 maybe 3 feet. Definitely look into an extension cable made for the controllers.

    My wife and I love playing these old games even more than our son does! SO MUCH FUN to re-play these old games, and even discovering a game or two we'd never heard of! Make sure you spring for the extra controller (sold separately) so you can make the most of these classic games.
