    Fun but latency makes it harder to play

    The games are almost as fun as I remember them but there's a delay between the controller and the game play that makes it harder than it used to be to time. Or I'm getting old. It might be better if I connected it directly to my TV instead of through my receiver.

    Love this system! Great to play the old school games. Bring some me back to childhood. Wish cord was longer for controller but again that is how the original game was.

    If you're into this sort of thing... This mini NES is AMAZING! It's well-made, versatile, and oh my goodness it's out of production AGAIN! Get it at MSRP while you can!

    Very happy with this purchase also, very happy that Nintendo finally released it again! Best Buy purchase was easy - not quick almost 3 weeks before it came! But no issues!

    This system brings me back to when I was a little kid! From the miniature accure system, to the dead on remotes, this took me through a time warp. The only thing that I would say is there are a lot more classics out there that should be included and are not. That said, 4 out of 5 stars!

    While trying to get this an a Nintendo Switch this was the only think I could by by the end of the transaction. Now that they're no longer in production I'm glad it turned out that way.

    Game console was a great price. It was delivered on time and in great condition. My husband was so excited to get it for Christmas and has been playing it ever since.

    I bought this as a gift for my nephew. He didn't look to thrilled when he got it but as time passed I found out this is one of his favorite game systems. Old school rules.

    Of course I wish it had more than 30 games, but this is so much fun to play. To relive all my early memories with video games and being able to share them with my children.

    I was really sad to miss out on the first batch of these, but successfully got one on the rerelease. It's been great to play these nostalgic games. Good deal for the price!

    If you want to go back in time and bring back great memories of your childhood, this one is for you. It's amazing to see where we have come from in gaming. My kids are enjoying it as well.

    I bought this item as a Christmas gift. It was one of the top Selling items of the season. I was able to get one from Best Buy in time. This system has provided a trip down memory lane.

    This gaming system brings back so many memories from my youth. I do not like that the controller cord is so short. Sometimes it takes a while for the picture and sound to show up. Other than those 2 shortcomings, i love it.

    Me and my wife have really enjoyed playing these old titles. We bought a couple of wireless (rechargeable) controllers that work on the MINI SNES too. They work great.

    Very happy to have this back in my life! I wish there were some other games on it that they sadly did not put on here but for the price its completely worth brining back some old memories!

    The NES Classic definitely met my expectations. The only downside is its availability to consumers. The controller cable is short but you can purchase an extender cable to make it longer.

    I bought two of these as soon as Best Buy got them in stock. Fun to play but I wish I had a Wii classic controller so I can reset from the controller and not the system!

    I'm glad they re released these systems with availability at msrp. Brings back memories from my childhood when I used to own the original NES system. However I wish they would have included 2 controllers since the controllers themselves are really hard to find right now at msrp of $9.99
