Playing all these games takes me back to my childhood : ) The only con is that the control wire is TOO short. I can not get into playing a long game like Zelda w/o sitting too close to the tv w/ a stiff back.

It’s reliving your childhood in a small, little box of awesomeness. The fact the cord is short just makes you sit close to the tv like you did as a kid.

Mini NES works great, but yes, controller is too short. Do yourself a favor and get at least one wireless controller for it, and maybe a long HDMI cord.

So it’s missing a few games...it’s still a great trip down memory lane. Now all I need is to have my mom call and tell me that it’s time to turn it off.

Really great to see the old games back on newer tvs. I wish this had come pre-loaded with more games, but I know they just picked the more popular ones.

I love playing the old titles from when I was a kid but some of the games were a poor choice of Nintendos 30 years of classics available. Updated titles that could be downloaded would have made this a perfect console.

Playing this NES brought me so many great memories. Wire is too short (don't know how we survived before with it). Extension needed.

Of most of the pre loaded game devices out there like the Saga and Atari this one comes out on top. Both in quality of the device and games provided.

This console is so awesome and I’m so happy to have finally owned one. The downside is I wished it had more games but I say it’s worth every penny!

BBY only had these for like a day and I was able to snag one... just like the previous version but different box? Not sure but get it before it's gone.

I just happened to get lucky enough to only wait an hour in line to pick up one of these and it has been great fun.
I hope Nintendo does more of these each year.

I’ve been WAITING for this and it doesn’t disappoint. No more blowing on cartridges. The save points are amazing. Can quit wherever and go right back.

Not going to lie, I love this thing. But in terms of value, it's just not there. NES games in general maybe a step up from Atari games, so to deal with price hikes and shortages for mediocre games is just not worth it.
