    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.

    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 system really took me back to 1988 when I received my first NES for Christmas. That alone earns this 5 stars. The short controller cables are not forgivable. The only thing that could make this little time machine better to me is being able to play duck hunt with a mechanical light gun.

    It reminds me of my childhood. Lots of great memories playing mega man 2, the complete MARIO bros library, and the Zeldas. There are a few great games in my opinion missing from the system, but I understanding licensing could impact that. The only real complaint is the controller cable is way too short.

    Picked this up on the re-release. Was happy to finally get one. Like how it is small and can be powered by a USB port from my TV. Brings back memories from when I was a kid. Funny thing is I don’t remember the games being as frustrating back then. Guess games have changed and become more user friendly.

    This system is awesome! I'm an 80s baby and loved my NES, so its awesome to be transported back to my childhood. First this thing is tiny... like super small. That is matched by its equally short controller cord which makes it practically useless with any entertainment system. I have it connected to my computer monitor and I can honestly say that is the best compromise. Also, to go back to the main menu, you need to physically push reset. None of this makes sense but the games make up for this stupidity.

    All of the games and the overall presentation is great. A longer controller cable would have moved this to 5 stars.

    Although I wish the controllers were wireless the game play brings back memories. I clearly remember getting excited back in the day when playing some of my favorite games! I’m happy with the “self” Xmas gift and it’s amazing they built in all those classic games in such a weightless console.

    Great and easy, plug and play. Small enough to tuck behind your flat screen TV. Game play is the same as if you had a time machine. Original cheat codes still work. And a perfect price. Only issue is the short 2 foot cord of your controller. I immediately bought the 10 foot extension but would have preferred wireless controllers out of the box. Hard to attain as well. I got to BB at 11:15pm and I was 9th in line! Playing with the Classic made me forget the 9hrs and 45mins of waiting in 21 degree weather.

    Super fun nostalgia gaming, reminds me of when I was a kid playing classics such a zelda, super mario 3, etc. Lots of fun classic games. The controller is just like the original, however I do wish the cord was longer. Perfect for those who miss the original, without needing to blow on the cartridge!

    Old school Nintendo

    I was growing up when Nintendo first came out. It has all the games I remembered playing as a kid. The game quality is just as good as the original. It comes with one game controller. The only downside is the controller wires are very short. There are wire extensions that can be purchaesd.

    This is a classic system to have laying around the house for some casual fun with friends and family. The cables are short so I ended up purchasing a wireless controller from 8bitdo that has the feature of restarting the game from the controller. Overall for the price point, I highly recommend it!

    Not Quite What I Remembered

    I was in my early teens when I bought my NES back in the mid-80's. I played the system a lot and loved it. But I guess modern day gaming with superb graphics has ruined what I remember from 8-bit consoles. It's really hard for me to play some of these old games now because the visuals are just not that good. I also with there was a reset feature on the controller. You'll almost definitely want to buy an extension cord for the controller as well as it is way too short.

    I bought this for my brother as we played this when we were children. Full disclosure he has special needs but is high functioning. He plays this almost non stop. I call my mother and she says he's always playing. I was going to get the atari, but the games were eh, but this one had it all!

    I am very happy with the NES Classic Edition. I have fond memories of many the games included and they still hold up very well. Nintendo is my most cherished video game developer and having grown up with them in my life has been great. Over 30 games and a awesome interface with save states, love it!

    The NES Classic is a tiny box with 30 classic NES games built in. Most games are classics, like all 3 Mario's, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Pac-Man, and more! Playing with a friend really brings back the days of couch coop. I highly recommend the NES Classic to anyone who enjoys Retro gaming, and wants an easy to use plug n play.
