    Recently got this to add to a little gaming room. Plays all the classic Nintendo games like Mario and Donkey Kong, takes up almost no space, the games play perfectly. Even has the original type controller!

    Fun Game Set. Small and does not take up a lot of room. It is nice that the games are all included. The controller cord is a little short. I would recommend getting the insignia controller the cord was much longer.

    For anyone that wants to relive the past games or introduce their kids to old favorites, this is the perfect system. Cheap, good quality, plenty of variety. Only downside is the controller cords are a little short.

    Very easy to set up and start playing classic games right away. A great way to spend time together and its great that being older games, you don't need to be a "gamer" to enjoy it. Takes up very little space.

    It's great that it had HDMI so you can connect to a flat screen. I would recommend to get extension cables. The controller that Sims with the system is way too short. The games are great, wish it had a couple more.

    I think my husband loves it more! We've been using it to reward good behavior and the kids enjoy it so much we've seen a marked improvement in behavior. My only complaint is that it only come with 1 controller and the cord is fairly short. We had to buy cord extensions and an extra controller. Disappointing but that's a choice made by Nintendo.

    Whoever came up with the idea of bringing these retro consoles back should get a raise! this tiny console does bring back memories, such great games for a decent price. Remote could could have a longer cable.

    Great way to have fun again with this console for us oldies. Works great. Just make sure you buy a second controller. Easy to hook up and run. Most games are lots of fun. The good old days once again. A bit easier to obtain now too. Keeps me going for hours and you don't have to push 7 buttons to make things happen like todays video consoles

    Really wanted to play Donkey Kong and this system had the original game. Plays like the arcade version and also include a bunch of other games that I used to play as a kid. Lots of fun for a relatively low price.

    Games are just like when i was a kid... excellent mini console... only drawback is the cord of the control being so short but its fixable with the extension cord they sell at bestbuy for cheap... worth every cent.

    This mini retro console has all the classic games. The Mario games, Punchout, Contra, Tecmo Bowl, Double Dragon all great. I do wish there was an option to add additional games to the console like Blades of Steel or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games or Rampage or a baseball game. Also the one controller with extremely short cord is lame.

    I loved it! It took me back to my elementary days. Although, I would like duck hunt to be added and a new gun controller as well. It’s a lot smaller than the original and has 30 games predownloaded to the system.

    Definitely worth the wait, definitely worth the money and I would NOT hesitate buying it again. Brings back so many memories in a smaller package. Best of all, I don’t have to worry about cleaning the cartridges!

    The game(s) that are preloaded onto the system are fun & exciting as to when myself & my friends played them when I was young. Great price for what is offered. Just wish ALL games were loaded onto the game system for playing.

    Great value for the collection of absolute classics. They play well and the save states are super helpful. If you enjoyed an NES as a kid, this is a must-buy. The only downside is the short controller cables.

    Wonderful Plug 'n Play Console

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The NES CLassic Edition is a superb plug 'n play console. The games are varied and the majority of them are bonafide classics. You'll definitely be able to find something to play if you enjoy classic video games. If you can get your hands on one of these at retail price it will be worth it. It's nice for those who want to relive their past, but its also great for those who want to experience what the NES was for the first time. Like I'm sure many others have stated, due to technical limitations the controller cord is too short so unless you're playing close to the console you should buy a long HDMI cord. There are third party controller cord extensions, but they may actually cause delay input lag because the information has to travel further from the controller to the system.

    Great console, with classic games

    The Nintendo Classic stands up to the hype. It's an awesome little console, with a ton of fun games. The interface is clean, functional, and works well. I definitely recommend it. The only downside is that it comes with a controller that only has a 3 foot cord on it, so it makes it limited as far as how close you have to be. Other than that, awesome product.
