Be sure to buy the extension cords and an extra controller. Hours of gameplay and brings you back to a time you once forgot.....simply fun (no WiFi). I would never have thought my kids would love this console more than me but the love the games. What's old is new!

It’s ok. I think an actual classic NES system would be better. All the built-in games are convenient but it lacks that nostalgia factor. The SUPER SHORT controller cable really stinks. Aside from that, it’s pretty much OK.

This brings back some great memories. The only thing I wish I could do is to connect the console to a "Nintendo" type store to purchase some of the other games that I liked to play back in the day. Things like Contra 1, MLB All Star, Battletoads, Back to the Future, etc.

Best Buy came through again. They were the only store to have the Nintendo game. I got the Nintendo game for the regular retail cost.
Best Buy said they would have it on a certain day and they did. No disappointed Kids for Christmas. I did not have to pay inflated price on Amazon or Ebay.

The NES Classic brings back a lot of fond gaming memories. However, the cord is too short (about 2 feet) and the game list of 30 games might include only 10-15 you actually want to play. Unless you really want a cool looking physical NES, buy the games you want through the WiiU virtual console.

Retro happiness miniaturized!
Lots of classics to enjoy, and the picture quality is impressive.
Definitely happy to have Ninja Gaiden, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. and Mario as well as many others!
Just $59.99,...get it before it goes back into the Nintendo Vault!
