Customers are saying

Customers praise the NES Classic Edition's game selection, ease of use, small size, and the inclusion of HDMI for modern TVs. Positive comments also highlight the nostalgic appeal and affordable price. However, a common complaint centers on the short controller cord length. Overall, the system is seen as a fun and easy-to-use retro gaming experience.

    If you were lucky enough to find the NES Classic Edition in the first place, you probably sold it before even opening it. There are better options out there.

    I purchased the game console for my daughter as a Christmas gift. We just recently opened the system and lost patients playing within an hour. The instructions stated you must press the start and select button to return to the home screen, but it does not work. We had to get up and turn the game off every time we wanted to switch the level or game. I would have returned it but I took so long to actually open it, I doubt if I could.

    Set up the Nintendo but it felt that the controls for all the games were delayed. Ended up returning a few days later.

    Purchased this the day it came out for a gift. Hooked it up and it has no sound however the games work. The store a purchased it at and bestbuy customer service number will do absolutely nothing to exchange this product for a new one. So if your system doesn't work you are gonna have to send it in to Nintendo and it's going to be weeks before you get it back. Try telling that to a 5 year old.

    Fun Nostalgia Console

    This is a great system for the actual, non-scalped price. You get 30 of some of Nintendo's best games on a cute little NES console. You can't even buy an NES + these 30 games for $60. The controller cable is short, but I kind of like feeling like a kid again stuck so close to the tv. It really gives me flashbacks. I also love the poster they included on the instructions. This is going to sound so mushy but when I was in kindergarten I was hospitalized for a over a week. It was awful, I felt terrible the entire time but the NES they brought me to use gave me such joy. My personal favorite of the games they had was Super Mario Bros 2, I liked getting to be Peach. So, thanks Nintendo for bringing back something that gave me some hope.
