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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    What a fun purchase. I was very excited to be able to get one of these while supplies lasted. An awesome little box of nostalgia! If you grew up with an original "NES", you should get one of these. You won't be disappointed!

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

    I love introducing my kids to classic gaming and this is such a great way to do it. It's very cool on Nintendo's part that they built this and that they offered it for such a low price, unfortunately it is such a shame that they didn't make enough and now they cancelled (or suspended?) production. I was one of the lucky ones to get one thanks to Best Buy. Thank you so much! If you are lucky enough to have gotten one, get yourself 2 MyArcade Wireless controllers and don't look back.

    This is lots of fun for the whole family. The only lyrics complaint is the controller cords are way to short.

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

    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.
