    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.

    Old school fun at it's best. Fortunately got it before it was discontinued. Worth getting if it ever comes back.

    This is a great product. I missed out on getting one the first time they hit the market and was glad to be able to snatch one up before they disappear again. Its everything I remember about the old Nintendo and brings back many good memories. My only complaint about the product is the length of the controller cords. I don't want to be sitting right on top of the TV, so I needed to go buy controllers that had longer cords. Other than that, I'm glad to have it.

    What a great throwback to the games of my youth. Some of them I have fond memories of playing, while others I remember drooling over but I couldn't afford. It's true, some of the games are dated, but this is a great means of preserving history and revisiting the origins of today's great games.

    What more can you say about playing classic NES games in 720p HD The controllers feel as good as they did in 1987 but the cord link is not an acceptable but It makes you sit right in front of the tv like you were a kid again. Brings back the best years of my life playing my favorite NES games.

    30 games: 10 are awesome, 10 are pretty decent and 10 are terrible, some of which I’d never heard of. The fact that Nintendo decided to provide only one controller at 1/2 to 1/3 the length of the original length=a jerk move. Aside from those complaints, it’s a great purchase.

    This system has many classics and some that I may not have considered would make it on. There are many games lacking that one would like to see on a system like this, luckily you can add these by flashing the ROM and adding them, just do a quick Google search and you'll be able to find out how.

    I loved playing the NES as a child, and this small reproduction of the original with built in games has been a great way to enjoy parts of my childhood. The included games are a great selection, the controls and feel are just like the original, I'm very pleased with this small gaming product.

    It was awesome to play the old games again without buying an original NES. The games are exactly as I remember! The one drawback is that the controller cord is way too short, Luckily you can get extensions just about anywhere. I have nothing but great things to say about this product!

    The Nintendo NES classic made me feel like a kid again. it was definitely the crowd favorite at my family's holiday parties after everyone was done eating. The variety of games on it catered to everyone's taste. Hoping that Nintendo releases an update next year with other greatest hits. Now you're playing with power.

    Its a quality product, with some of Nintendo's all time classics! I have thoroughly enjoyed it. The only thing I do recommend is purchasing a controller extension cable when you buy the system. The controller cables are maybe 3 feet long. which is very close to the TV in my opinion.

    This System is Awesome!!! I know it doesn’t have all the games we would want, but what it does have, gets the job done. Nostalgia all the way. This console is a must have. Especially, if your an old school gamer. Oh, and The kids Love it too. Haha‼️

    30 great collection of games to choose from = hours of endless fun. You can re-live your childhood memories once again. Make sure you get yourself extensions for the controllers. It would have been a bonus if it came with internet connection capability to add more games, so Nintendo, we are ready for NES Volume 2!

    The NES classic is just like the old NES only better, because it is smaller, has an HDMI output, and can save games. It can be upgraded to add more games too. Amazing little console for the money. Best Buy has been the only one to be able to get any of these for sale locally, so without them I would not have one.

    Finally snagged one of these and it is well worth the money. Great collection of NES classics. Brings back gaming memories Only fault is the controller cord is way too short! I thought this wouldn't be a problem since this is the second release of the console. Still worth the money though.

    I collect Nintendo and have been patiently waiting my turn to purchase the NES Classic at retail price. I was very concerned when April rolled around and they leaked that the NES Classic was being discontinued. I was able to snag one this morning (4/24/2017) and couldn't be happier. There were a lot of complaints about the way Best Buy handled it this morning. People were upset that tickets were handed out at 8:30am instead of when the doors opened at 10am. We had all been in line since 7am (or earlier) and would have been in the head of the line rather it was 8:30am or 10am, so first come first serve was delivered either way this morning. I prefer the ticketing system as I lost my first opportunity to purchase an NES Classic at Target due to people rushing the doors when they opened and many of us who had been waiting didn't get to purchase one, so the ticketing system is much more organized and I appreciated that. I hope that Nintendo will re-release the console after the Switch manufacturing catches back up and look forward to the SNES Classic in the near future.

    Absolutely love reliving the past with the new Nintendo mini game system. Love replaying old games in HD. The plug and play ability is also a major plus as well as the 4 saves per game. My only wish is that they made the contollers with a WiFi or Bluetooth option as the cord to the controller is very short. You will need a long HDMI cable if you plan to play on a large tv.

    This NES Classic takes me back to the days of the original gaming system. Preloaded with many of the classics, it emulates then original exactly. Play is the same, controllers are the same, only the unit is smaller. Best if played on a tv smaller than 32 inches, otherwise the graphics get a bit weird. The only other drawback is the short cords for the controllers and the fact you only get one controller with the system....just like the original. God fun!

    Took me months to get my hands on one of these. The controller feels just like an original NES controller! Such that not many official Nintendo controllers were release. The system should have came with two controllers. The cords on the controllers are very very short. Requires sitting the console on a table directly in front of you. The 30 included games look great in HD with the included HDMI cable. Ability to save games is a nice feature. Controller cord extender is recommended.
