    I bought this system pure for nostalgic reasons. It includes some of my favorite titles from the system, Super Mario Bros. 3, Kid Icarus, and Punch Out. I wish other games like Contra were included and that it came with two controllers, but I am more than satisfied with the NES Classic.

    Nice to have the games from when I was into games. And all preloaded. Just one controller only down fall.

    30 games in a awesome little box. Controller cable is too short but you can buy an extender for like ten bucks.

    My wife and I have been wanting this for a while now, but it was difficult to find without buying a knock off. But, thanks to Best Buy, we have the real one and it's awesome. We're not as good at these old games as we used to be, but it's just a fun way to escape, with family, on a rainy day.

    I’m loving my Classic Nintendo! My only complaint is that the cable connected to the remote is very short!

    Great nostalgia for my childhood! Controller has short cable. Would suggest getting a wireless controller.

    Graphics are spot on. The short HDMI cords is useless. The controller should have been wireless. Or come with a longer cord.

    This was awesome to find at Best Buy since it sold out so fast. I got it back ordered and it came in plenty of time before Christmas. Think this will be a great first video game for our son and I'm sure we will enjoy playing with him, to relive the glory days! Love the digital aspect of old school games. Can't wait.

    The NES is equipped with some of the games the we loved growing up. Downfall was some major favorites were missed like. Life force or Contra the original which is way better then Super Contra. The cord was a bit short buying the extension or long cord is worth it. The games bring back a level of nostalgia that is necessary in today’s time. Some of the games I grew up loving I get to share with my sons and that is worth it.

    Compact and easy to use, only flaw is the length of controller cord. That’s why I give it 4 and not 5 stars.

    Controller cables could be longer than 12 inches.... other than that it's fun to play the old school games.

    As soon as I saw this little tiny console, I was immediately brought back to a time of innocence and childhood imagination. I immediately began playing this to conquer the most fearsome of goombas, and once again rescue my long lost Princess Peach...who can never seem to stay at of trouble. That little rascal.

    I grew up in the 80s with an original NES console. Although this edition only has 30 games and it is not upgradable, I still consider it to be really fun. Maybe it's the nostalgia speaking. That being said, don't pay the ridiculous prices some people are asking for it on eBay, and make sure to buy a cord extension.

    So much fun! Most of the best games. My only complaint is, I wish it could play the old cartridges.
