    I purchased this about a month ago and have played a few times since. It's so convenient having games loaded to the system without having to go back and change them out every time, you just have to click the reset button. The system itself is tiny! If you're quick to get frustrated you might end up pulling it off your shelf/set up a few times. It's definitely worth the extra $10 to buy the extender cable, or find an extra controller with a 10' cord instead. Of course it doesn't have EVERY game on there, but many of the basic games are available to play. The new gaming consoles are too advanced for me (too many buttons), so this one has been a lot more fun to play.

    This system is a miniaturized version of the original. There's not much to say except that if you're fond of retro games like Suer Mario Bros and Donkey Kong, this is the console to get.

    I am a diehard gamer/collector with over a thousand physical games, so I’m used to buying the same game over and over again. Naturally, getting this product means that I’m buying Super Mario Bros. once again. Where I don’t mind buying the game is the whole package of a miniaturized replica of an NES. Anyone who grew up with this system will want one for the nostalgia. The controllers are the same size and feel, which for better or worse makes the experience authentic. And, you’re not blowing into the cartridge which is a plus (unless you really, really wanted the same experience as you did back in the 80’s!). Great product, and great conversation piece.

    Love this! Brings back so many memories! All the classics together. Great little game system. The cord for the controller could be longer, of course, but no way could I give this a rating of less than 5 stars!

    Finally found the NES retro online. Nice collection of games. Like that it features and comes with an HDMI cable. The size of the console is tiny (which doesn't take up too much space). The assortment of games are good. My only con would be that the controller cord is short. Overall, its fun playing these games.

    Bring me back to my childhood days! The games are wonderful and I enjoy playing the pre-loaded games. Controller cords are short, so I bought the cord extender.

    I never owned an original NES system but I had friends that had them and I used to play theirs. When I saw that this came out I really wanted it for once specific game and that is the original Donkey Kong game. Most people probably want it for the Mario games but I'm not really a fan of Mario I prefer DK. I got this to practice the Do key Long game because I play a lot of the Donkey Kong 64 and the original arcade game is a task on it. I like that I can practice by playing the original game where I can have more than one life. I've tried some of the other games but wasn't really a big fan of them. The system is really great. Definitely recommend

    if you rate the nes classic on nostalgia factor, then this little device is a perfect 10. classic looks and very lightweight for easy portability and quick plug and play operation are pluses. the game selection is very good but it is annoying to have to hit the reset button every time you want to change games

    A great trip down memory lane. Although it doesn't come with my favorite games of generations past, it does have some quality games. I took a single star away becuase the controller could have a longer cord and it would be great if you didn't have to hit restart everytime you wanted to change a game.

    all the classic games preloaded on one device. Brought back tons of great memories from my childhood. My only complaint is the length of the cord for the controller. Its WAY TO SHORT!!

    Looks just like the old classic one, but has a bunch of games included without the hassle of changing cartridges. The controller cable is a bit short so I added a cable extender.

    This brings back memories. Good selection of games. BAD only one controller and cord for that controller is extremely short. Recommend cord extensions and other or wireless controller.

    Wow this is really small! Good quality build, hdmi, and many great games. I only wish it had come with a second controller and why they didn’t increase the cord length is puzzling.
