Playing these games brought back many memories and is a lot of fun. However, I do wish the cord was longer.

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‼️

I had been wanting this system for a while, and finally got it. I’ve been playing Super Mario Brothers and Punch Out non-stop. Tons of games and so much fun, all at a low price. The cable for the controller is very short, so look into an extension cable for it or a wireless controller.

I can not believe how much fun this is. Got this for a gift for my brother had to buy one for myself because it was so much fun. It brings back so many memories from playing these games many many years ago thank you Nintendo and thank you Best Buy for not charging an arm and a leg for it.

I bought this as an early Christmas gift for our family. I love the old school games and how much it reminds me of my childhood. Very glad I decided to get it. One thing to note - make sure you get the controller extenders (and an extra controller so you can play two player games!).

Love the system very simple and many good games. Only complaint cord is too short on controller. Buy a wireless one too.

I had an original NES many years ago and remember playing most of these games. Of course, that system is long gone. When I first heard about this NES Classic Edition, I knew I had to have one. My step sons (11 and 14) even like to play my "old dude games" lol. The only complaint is the availability issue.

The product is over all the finest of what Nintendo can push out to the customers who are looking for a few classic games they loved as kids and share it with their own, happy to see the past can still entertain us eithouy have to pull out of search for the old hardware to enjoy.

I am a product of the original Nintendo generation so I was ecstatic to be able to get one of these. It is great! Everything is just like the original program except that you have 30 games on one console. The only drawback is that the controller has a very short cable - like 2 feet. But that isnt a big issue.

I'm glad I was able to get this little nostalgic system. It is so small. It's about the size of my hand.
While playing it even allows you to save your games. And it's so modern and no need to blow in the game to make it work. Lol. It's worth the buy.
The only con is the controller cord is really short.

30 classic games for 60 bucks is a no brainer

Was so lucky to be able to get one of these at MSRP. Thank you BestBuy! As the title says, buying this is a no brainer if you are -as am I- a Nintendo fan. Device is very portable, alternative wireless controllers and cable extensions are cheap and there is nothing else to buy. For the price... Perfect!

You're going to party like it's 1985! While this product is hard to find, the NES Classic Edition is worth the effort. It contains 30 classic NES games from the greatest part of the video game era. Enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane with this fine piece of retro gaming by Nintendo!

It’s not the 30 best games you can play on an NES but it is 30 terrific games that will take you back to the Nintendo console days of old. I do advise getting controller extensions unless you like being three feet from your tv but they’re cheap to find and work on the SNES Classic as well.

What more to say... old school game system with a nice amount of old games.. Zelda.. Space Invaders..etc. Only down side is you can't save any game and you have to start over when you shut down the system. Other than that it's a good gaming system.

This mini console has 30 great included games. It video output is better than the virtual console on Wii and Wii U. This is great for old and new school gamers. It has all the positives as the original and less of the negatives (having to blow cartridges). Hopefully this won't be the only one Nintendo does.

Everything feels and looks the same, taking you back in time. It’s fantastic and totally worth the $60. Don’t forget to get a controller cord extender, only negative I can say about the NES Classic. I can let my kids know what their dad played back when I was their age. So fantastic

While I wasn't able to purchase one of the NES Classic's when it was first available, it was worth the wait and not overpaying. This is a good sampler of games the original Nintendo system offered that will introduce young gamers to where it all began when it comes to Nintendo consoles. I was disappointed that they didn't add a feature to save game progress on this console, but that is my only knock on the NES Classic.

PAC-MAN is on here...need I say more??? Ok. Well so is Galaga! I am in heaven. These games are the reason I became a programmer 30 years ago. Love it Love It Love it!
Only thing I would change is the length of the controller cable. ( It still gets 5 stars for the joy it gives me)
