My first system was the Nintendo NES. I knew I had to get this one. I missed out on the first batch when they released. Once I saw this online I had to order it. I’m enjoying this great classic and the games stored in it. Nintendo Forever!

This NES Classic brought me back to my childhood. I loved playing these games as a kid and am excited that I get to show my kids these games. I will say that the cord for the remote is small and you have to be very close to the console.

Took a while to find one of these in stock. Purchased to keep in my RV for those rainy days. Also purchased a wireless remote which I highly recommend. Get product and love playing the old NES games.

I am old enough to remember purchasing the original NES and playing it. This is like a mini version of the original, but without having to blow on the cartridges to get them to work. HDMI output is a big plus for modern TVs. The only downside is that they only give you one controller and the cord is like three feet long. You will definitely need to buy an extension to use this.

I wanted one when they first came out, but wasn’t able to get one. I got this the first day it came back out and played most of my favorite games from back in the day. The best part about this is that it plays exactly like the original!!!

I got this system for my kids to play the old Nintendo games that I use to love and it has all my favorite games on it. My kids loved it but I would recommend buying another controller for two players as it only comes with one controller

So I was excited to get this system, being that I grew up with these games. The lack of any new technology is disappointing. No saved games, the menu controls are jenkity and awkward and the controller cable is super short, so you are entirely way too close to the tv. And it only comes with one controller.

What more needs to be said, this is a great blast of nostalgia! This was a big part of my childhood and it has been awesome stepping into the time machine and "re-living" the late 80s/early 90s over again! This is definitely worth a pick-up for any gamer.

I thought all the nostalgia would come back in full force, but it didn't all the way. I thought I would find myself trying to master this all over again, but did not. The extreme short cord for the controller is pretty disappointing. Not sure why they did just make the controllers wireless from the get go.

I just want to start off by saying the customer service at the norwalk Best Buy has been by far the best customer service I've ever been given. I loved the fact they brought back stock of the NES. Child hood brought back from the past thanks to Best Buy.
