Great for someone who wants to enjoy the classics. Only down side is that the cord length is way to short, so buy the extension.

Glad I waited for Nintendo to start production again. This is a fun bit of nostalgia and worth the $59 price tag.

It's compact and very portable. The counsel and games are great. The only thing I don't like is how short the controller cords are.

Great fun for the entire family. 30 games, some great, some so-so but a lot of fun. 1 star off for the too short controller cord.

Picked up several of these, one for myself and the others as gifts. I enjoy using the insignia wireless controllers with this unit. The system brings me back to the good old days when my brother and I would sit around and play Zelda and Metroid for hours!
If you can get one, it’s definitely a must buy.

Great roll back to when we were kids but the one thing I will say is I wish they made the controller cords longer

It's a prop - a cool looking prop, but a prop...

These games are the same things you've played before and so there's no problem there but let's be honest - you're getting this to sit on a shelf and fill you with nostalgia. It does that job great.
I'd probably rate it higher if it came with controller cables that were 3 times longer. As it stands I don't think I could use the thing even if I wanted to because of how short they are.

If you grew up in the '80s or even if you didn't, the NES Classic Edition is a great truncated representation of NES gaming. The emulation is solid, and the selection of games is equally good. Once you're bored of the stock games, you can always look online to expand what the system can play. ;)

This little gadget is pretty good. It has a good lineup of games. I actually prefer this over the Supernintendo mini.

I mean I really only wanted it for the Mario series. The controller cord is like 3ft long not sure who designed that!

This console, like its 'big' brother, the SNES Classic (which I was actually able to pick up first), has a great library of classic games, a very good interface, multiple saves, rewind..., etc. But I can't realistically say I'll play all the way thru any of these games again. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of good games here, but playing them amounts to a chore in most cases. I'm glad I finally got my hands on one, but for nostalgia purposes only. But I do recommend it.
