I bought the system for Tecmo Bowl. Teams and players are different so it's not as nostalgic as I had hoped.
Having to unplug it after each use...a pain. Wired controllers are short, plan on using a long HDMI cable and extension cord for power so you don't sit 3' from the TV.

Just what you would expect, good thing is that you can save your spot in each game and come back to it. Beware, it only comes with one controller so if you want to play any 2 player stuff, you'll need another one.

I purchased this product for the nostalgia aspect of playing the games I played when I was a kid. A lot of the classic games that I played as a child but nintendo is just not complete without duck hunt. The major flaw of this retro system is that the wire for the controller is extremely short resulting in the player needing to sit very close to the TV.

OMG, this was my very first system, so it definitely brought back some old memories. I bought a second remote and have been having a lot of fun with the family. Get your hands on one of these before they are sold out!!!

Was so excited to get this. Wanted one from the day they were originally announced. Got home and immediately plugged in. My wife usually does not play games with me but with this we have had fun being young again.

Incredible console! So wonderful to turn it on, play and get back to your every day. No delay like modern consoles (updates, loading, etc.). Perfect for the new dad that wants to score some gaming time during baby naps.

The NES Classic Edition makes a great gift (if you can find one) for any gamer young or old. Plenty of great titles with tons of replayability. The only problem I have with the product is that the controller wires are way way too short.

This system is a blast from the past but just like the past has issues. The game play and graphics are perfect with my only complaint is that the controller comes with a 2 ft. Cable that means you have to play right in from of the TV. Considering original consoles all came with a longer Cable this felt like it was a way to get you to buy an extension.

The NES Classic is great by yourself, but would be excellent with a second controller. I wish I knew what Nintendo was thinking. It was easier to get a second NES Classic to give as a gift versus trying to get 1, much less 2 controllers.

As an adult who had to save money as a child to buy his first Nintendo, This Product Is Great! I have had a blast reliving my younger years. The picture is clear and I dont have to blow on a cartridge before each game.

I don’t know how I lived my life without this in it. Of course I wasn’t tethered 2 feet away from my tv by a wired controller and my adult hands weren’t cramped and sore but it was still a far worse existence.

I missed out on this during black friday last year and was lucky enough to grab it during best buys most recent promotion. Its works great, but only downside I wish more of the most popular games were made available.
