    What an idea! Bring back our most beloved video games of all time and put them in one retro console. You get all the hits, Super Mario 1, 2 and 3, Ninja Gaiden, Zelda, Dr Mario, etc... I highly recommend this console if you spent countless hours playing these games as a kid, it will be fun to go there again.

    The NES classic is awesome. Games were so much harder back in the day compared to now. It comes with 30 preinstalled games that will definitely take any 80's baby back to their childhood! The included controller feels good in the hands and the buttons respond perfectly. A great gift to any gamer out there!

    Games are as expected and as remembered. I would have liked two controllers, but not enough to gripe. Would recommend getting a long hdmi cable, and a battery power pack to run the system. That would eliminate one of the wires to the wall. The short controller wire is great to reach for the reset button easily to select another game.

    I picked this up when they had some back in stock and I’m glad I did, immediately takes you back when you played as a kid, runs smooth controllers are good, the only thing I had a problem with is the cords for the controllers are way to short and you have to push reset every time you want to play a new game.

    Great system & choice of games. Brings flash back memories. I feel like a kid listening to the epic sound tracks from each & every game. System es well done looks great & is well build. Remote looks & feels like the original from the 80’s.

    While this is far from perfect, this is a great plug and play method of introducing the classics of the NES era to a new generation. Yes, some games are notably absent (like Castlevania 3), and it only comes with one controller, and the controller cables are too short, but this is still a worthwhile purchase.

    This is a great way to get exposed to games that are hard to find or too expensive to own. The value of this game is great and worth the buy. The controller wire length is short, so unless the distance between you and the system are close, I recommend to also get an extender.

    I honestly purchased this for my husband and I, but all three kids have greatly enjoyed it as well. It has so many of the classic games that brought back so many memories. My only complaint is the system come with 1 remote and the cord is pretty short. Extra controls and extensions can be purchased though for a reasonable price.

    This classic game console is a great buy for the price. However the short controller cord is so stupid of Nintendo.

    Great product, great value. Short controller cables are easily remedied by a longer HDMI cable - I like having the system closer because you use the reset button on it to access the main menu. He emulation isn't 100% perfect but it's close enough to enjoy all of these games. Save states are a wonder to have.

    I've been waiting so long to find this at its original price. There was no way I was paying someone 2-3 times the price on the secondary market. Great machine, has all the classics and some, and the instant save point is awesome! It gives you a better chance at beating those tough level, (Mario 3, level 8)

    If you're looking for that nostalgic feeling you'll definitely find it here. Playing all the games from my youth took me back to those days where you wanted to finish what you started. I remember playing Super Mario Brothers in a single attempt. That didn't happen this time but that's my current goal. If you can find one, buy one!

    I have nothing but great things to say about the NES. I waited in line to get this for my husband for Christmas and he loved it! It was worth waiting for! He plays most of the games but his favorites are the old school mario bro. games which he plays everyday. I would recommend this for anyone and you just can't beat the price.

    This mini classic brings back memories of staying up late and eating pizza with my favorite cousin. Mario 3 will always be the best game ever. Old graphics and choice of new graphics and save capabilities of 4 each game of the 30 installed. Small to fit in your whole hand. Big surprise in a small package. Enjoying it everyday.
