Great gift idea. Nice selection of games. Stupid easy to set up and use.
Main gripes: Controller cable length is ridiculously short. There are a good amount of notices telling you not to leave it plugged in while you're not using it, and that scares me, and is very inconvenient every time I'm not using it. Very annoying and inconvenient to have to reach toward the console itself anytime you want to change the game, it makes sense thematically though, in the sense of reaching towards the NES to turn it off and swap cartridges, and keeping the controllers as close to the originals as possible.

I love this system. I waited outside for about an hour before Christmas and finally was able to get one. It was well worth it. Only down side is that is comes only with one controller and that controller has a VERY short cord. I initially just used a long HDMI cord but has since purchased wireless controller. My whole family enjoys playing this! I also love the fact that it looks really good on my Sony 4K TV.

Anybody who grew up with a NES in their life should have a great appreciation for this product, particularly those who may have otherwise fallen away from video games in recent years. The build quality of the device is solid - No surprise since it's coming from Nintendo directly and not a licensee as these retro consoles often do. As you've probably heard, the controller cable is laughably short. Even in my living room where I sit obscenely close to the television, the cable was not nearly long enough. If you plan on putting this thing through it's paces, opt for the separate extender cable.

It took a while to get my hands on one at regular price. Best Buy came through perfectly. This is not a regular plug and play. It has some of the best NES games from the 80s. It's the perfect console for entertaining guests, teaching young kids how to play video games, or to take a nice trip down memory lane. It's worth the effort to find one. Make sure you pick up a wireless controller. You might need it.

I love this thing. A mini version of a game system I had as a child. Alot of the same games as well. I wish it had longer cords. Every cord is way to short

Great re-play collection with a smaller footprint. Scratches the itch for Mario and Donkey Kong games. Should come with 2 controllers. Cords are very short--you'll need to get longer ones for play on a large screen. Missing 3 of my favorites: Tetris, Contra and Rush'n'Attack. Needs a joystick for Galaga. Unfortunately, the Wii joystick (while it will plug in), doesn't work.

A great selection of games for the price. Of course I wish that there were more games offered and that you could get more games, but for the price the mini NES is a no brainer!

The NES Classic is a great small console with 30 of the classic games on the NES. I have enjoyed playing this system so far. I had a NES back in the day and regret givibg it away. Fond memories with this console. The build quality is awesome. Using a hdmi cable and serting it up with my LCD screen is just awesome.

The NES Classic comes with enough games to keep you busy at about a quarter of the cost of the 80’s. It was easy to setup and start playing right away. Plenty of nostalgia packed into a tiny console. The video looks great on a larger screen and offers a few options for 4x3 and Pixel Perfect viewing. Overall, a great buy and looking forward to adding the SNES Classic.

This is where it all started. This little gizmo has all the games that I remember from my teenage years. My children can now enjoy the classics and really appreciate all the advancements for the games that they have today. It’s really funny to see them play classic Super Mario Bros, Donkey King, PacMan, Punch Out.. And then go to the new Xbox One and play Battlefield 1, Halo and Titanfall. It’s all good.

I love this little Nintendo, and yes, it is TINY! I love that the games are preloaded, although I wish there was an option to add additional games (DuckTales). Also, my controller died after a couple weeks but it was easy and cheap to buy something online - with a longer cord :) I'm THRILLED to have this because my original Nintendo is difficult to use, especially to get it going when I change a game.
