Many classic games programed into the nostalgic shape of a classic NES console. Great for those who remember the old games or those who never got a chance to play the classics. The only weakness is that the controller cords are too short.

This gaming system brings back so many great memories from my teenage years. The games are timeless and you don't have to worry about a stack of cartridges. The only 'issue' I have is the length of the controller cord is too short.

This product simply reminds me of my childhood and I love it. It comes pre-loaded with 30 classic games, and that alone makes the price a great value.

Great selection of games, able to save your game at any point within games. Only complaint is the short wire on the controller. I ended up buying the Insignia brand extenders to get to the length of the controller of the original NES.

Some of the best Nintendo had to offer in the 80s and 90s. Well worth the money, but must get the controller with longer cord.

This thing is so tiny and mighty! It has a great game selection. The only fault is it's tiny short cord which is easily remedied with an extender.

Overall, you get exactly what you expect. Each game plays great with that original look. Connects via HDMI and powered by a micro-USB. Only negative is the controller cord is ridiculously short but there is an extension for it (sold separately of course).

A few classic missing here and there, and the infamous short controller cord is definitely a con, but it’s still a great and affordable collection for anyone who misses these old games and/or wants to introduce them to their children.

If... If you can get your hands on this little guy buy it. I feel really lucky to have it. I hunted for three months but it was totally worth it! My only complaints are like everyone else's. The controller cord is waaaaaay too short. C'mon Nintendo, you know how to manufacture quality products. The only other problem is that I would have picked some other games to put on this sucker. River City Ransom, Dragon Warrior, the original Contra and Kung Fu are just a few to replace some of the snoozers they chose. Overall I'm super satisfied though.

The hard to find NES Classic console is available again and was (mostly) worth the wait!
The game selection is solid, but could be a slight bit stronger, but that's just nitpicking. 30 mostly great games out of the 714 licensed titles is pretty respectable, but will leave some wanting more, but still... It's 30 different games!
They controller is solid and feels like the original NES gamepad. The negative? There's only one included and the cord is short.
When you get past some minor issues, you really do appreciate what Nintendo was going for.
The emulation is nearly perfect, the menus are clean, and the game selection is solid.
The NES Classic is a massive gimmick meant to appeal to gamers young and old, but you know what?
It's a fun gimmick that will make you smile.

There was only a limited amount! The console is very small and easy to connect! The thirty games on there were very popular back in the day too!

This NES classic is exactly as expected. 30 games that were fun in 80s. The controller cords are too short so buy the extensions.

A must have for old school gamers. Nice selection of preloaded games. Factory controller cord entirely WAY TOO SHORT though.
