Brings back old memories. Well worth the $60. Don't know if it was worth waiting for 4 hours in the sub freezing temp though.

By itself, not really worth it but thankfully you can easily mod this if you have a PC. I just followed a YouTube video step by step, downloaded a program and used the program and rooms I downloaded as nd now my new classic has around 700 hundred games. Makes a great christmas gift as well.

This is a great little device. The only recommendation I would have is to get cable extenders for the controller and grab a second controller. There are many wireless options as well that include a "home\reset" so you don't have to jump out of your chair if you want to switch to a different game.

The system itself is good. Lots of fun. The controller cords are extremely short. We had to go purchase other controllers.

So great to play these games on a console throwback from the golden days of home consoles. This is the one that set the standard that all other consoles were judged by. Such a great experience to be shared with a new generation of gamers. Awesome doesnt cut it with this one.... its SUPER awesome.

It was hilarious watching my 11 yr old try to figure out how to play some of the games on this console!
The tiny design is super cute and I bought some third party wireless USB controllers to avoid any issues with the cords. System works great, very happy to find it in stock at Best Buy and shipping was super fast

It took a long time, but I was finally able to snag one of these after waiting since its initial release. I've enjoyed playing it and the games play just like the original system did. The setup is easy too. I just wish they would make it easier to get one as I would like to have another console to give as a gift.

NES was the best console! This classic edition definitely brings back the nostalgic feelings of playing Mario and pac man! There’s a game on there for everyone. Only wish was that the controller cord was a little (a lot) longer, and that it included a second controller instead of having to purchase another separately. Price is a little high for only one controller included.

The controller cable is really short and this thing should really come with a second controller but doesn’t....
