There isn't much else to say. I love everything about this cute little system, other than the fact that you can't download additional games, since there are a few that I'm really missing (including Duck Tales and Maniac Mansion). Still, the experience is spot-on.

Like all reviews of this retro fun, the cord range is very limited and only one controller.

I missed out on this the first time, but now I finally got one. I wish there could have been a few more of my favorite games, but some is better than nothing. This is so retro and I love the nostalgia. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves video games.

Love this thing. All the classics from my childhood saved on a compact replica of the original console. Very well made and looks great on the entertainment center. Awesome playing with the original controller again but make sure you get a extension cable, the chord is really short.

Umm, pretty awesome throwback. The only downside is that the controller cord is about 5-6ft too short.

Ofc the common complaint about the control wire being too short...so I have the tiny console sitting in the middle of the floor so I can sit in a chair and play. But hey, great games bundled, great flashback! Now ik what my parents mean by "oldies but goodies!"

I became an workaholic after high school and put video games downs. Buying this brought me back to my childhood. I showed this to my 15 yr old nephew and he couldn't believe games could be so difficult with just two buttons. He wants to play this more than Xbox one and Madden

It's awesome, just like how it used to be, just wish duck hunt was on it, and wish the cord was longer.

If you remember these games, you'll want to play them again. So fun having access to the large catalog of games in the NES Classic. Parents and kids enjoy it equally well and there are finally a few games I can beat my 14-yo at!

Nice being able to play the original and great Nintendo games without having to blow into a cartridge or wedge another one in on top to get it to play. Bought wireless controllers extra to make play a little easier and more relaxed.
