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

I grew up with the original NES, and this thing has all of the cool games i used to love to play. I wish it had come with wireless controllers, because otherwise i have to site 3 feet in front of a 70" tv to play it. i know i can buy them aftermarket, but who wants to spend another $40 on this? Add wireless controllers and this is 5 starts all day long.

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.

I was a little disappointed in this just because they only give you one controller which I knew when I bought it so that’s OK but the fact that the cable is so short and I had to purchase an extension cable was kind of a pain and an extra expense . Otherwise the games are what the games were back in the day you can’t beat them . Just wish they had a few more games on it .

Im so happy when I able to purchase this console at best buy online. I cannot believe that I will have a chance to get this online despite of being sold out everywhere! I've been stalking this on online at my best buy apps for at least 3 months! It's a great console game, lots of memories and still fun to play!

When they announced this console, I got super excited to be nostalgic and play old games. Once I got my hands on it, I was immediately brought back to my youth and I truly enjoyed the games. I was sad to see that it was only a temporary item for sale and they didn't have it set up to expand things later.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend and have since spent time playing this NES system with them. It's still running well and has been put through its pace with almost non stop gaming. I get thanked constantly for this fun purchase still.

From the minute I opened the box and plugged it in I felt like I was 11 years old all over again. Definitely worth having if you have children so they can see what you grew up playing. Only drawback is there were some games that Nintendo should have added in lieu of some on the console.

It's cool that everything is compacted, that you don't have to worry about keeping up with the games.
