Customer Ratings & Reviews

A great library of NES games delivered smoothly and with some Nintendo flair. If you know someone who would want to buy a NES and some games to re-live the Nintendo's early years, then this is for them. Do need to buy a 2nd controller though, and the cords are kind of short.

Love just about everything that this console offers. I wasn't expecting an exact duplicate of the original but was still surprised at what I received. I love the compact size of the console and how easy it was to setup. Although, I'll miss blowing in the cartridges to get them to work, I love how easy it is to switch games. The only drawback is how incredibly short the controller cord is. I had to buy cord extenders but not a huge deal. Overall, this console is great.

What can I say these are the classics of my generation. It is several hours of joy to relive all of these games. This just looks cool sitting underneath the TV. The only problem I have with it was that the included controller was only 3 feet long. Brought back the memories of someone walking in front of the tv and tripping on the chord as you were about to beat a game for the first time. Don't let this hold you back though because a wireless controller for it is cheap!

It's better than the original because there are no more cartridges to lose or have to blow the dust off of from the bottom. It's more compact and has the games performance and detail the same. Also true to original is controller use and fit. Way to go Nintendo!

It's a mini version of the Nintendo from when I was a kid (yes, the 80's - yes, I'm old). What else could you want?! I mean, it doesn't have Back to the Future but that game was impossible anyway. You've got Super Mario 1, 2, and 3 AND Zelda 1 and 2... You're all set for a night alone in moms basement.

Though the games included are a bit limited, I've had a blast using this little NES emulation system. The included controller works very well, but the cord is short, so using a wireless controller like the 8bitdo N30 2.4G works extremely well.

I don't know what to say but Thisbe console is really small and brings back so many memories of my childhood.

Absolutely enjoy everything about this classic console. The experience is just as fun as it was playing in the 80's-90's but in HD! The cord length and not being able to install other games are my only cons. Love the fact my Mom looked forward to playing Nintendo with me, we had a blast playing Pac Man.

This is the best throwback to being a kid I've seen in awhile. The best part if my kids now get to play it and love it but without the headache of blowing in the cartridge! :) Just get the cord extenders and a second controller as the cords are short and it only comes with one.

The NES mini is a great system for anyone who grew up playing the NES. The controller is responsive and it has a great selection of games. The only drawback is that some collections are incomplete, such as Castlevania I an II being included but not fan favorite Castlevania III.

This gift was for my son and He loves playing it. The price for the nes classic edition was awesome. For the price the product is well made. He enjoys playing the old time games which I didn't think he would. But he finds them challenging and fun. This is a great product

Proof that the classics never die. There has been a lot of talk about the short controller cable, but after playing, I find myself constantly hitting the reset button to save or reload so it totally makes sense to keep the console close to the player. A longer HDMI and USB cable would make more sense.

Great affordable system, would be better cordless. Length of cord for controller a little too short.

Love the size and the fact it connects to hdmi. Graphics are exactly the same as they were in the 80s

Wish this was easier to buy, finally got one and I love it! Just the nostalgia alone is wort it. Can’t get enough of the original Super Mario and the turtle trick still works lol! The new save feature comes in really handy. If you don’t have one, try and get one, you’ll love it!

I'm a bit older so I more fondly remember the classic NES games over the SNES games. So when I heard we'd have the opportunity to buy a NES Classic, I jumped on it. Admittedly, since purchasing the unit I haven't played it much. But knowing its there whenever I get an urge to play the original Zelda or Super Mario Bros for a few minutes makes me feel good. Even though I ordered cord extensions, I wish the controllers were wireless.

The box is pretty small, the graphics aren't the greatest and the cable attached to the controller is pretty short. Despite all of this, it's a lot of fun. My kids love it and I love playing these games and reliving a little piece of my childhood. It's totally worth the price.

I have no complaints about the actual console. All games included run without a hitch. However, the controller that it comes with is extremely short. I purchased an Insignia controller along with it that's 10 feet long. I thought this was the answer to my problem... The Insignia one doesn't work as well as the original Nintendo one, it's hard to switch directions. I heard you can buy extensions so I can just use the one it came with.

I missed this the first time around, and was extatic that it was rereleased. Punch-out, Metroid, Zelda and Super Mario rounded out a great line up. It difficult is getting used to the sensitivity of the controller. It is much less sensitive than say the Xbox one, but is on par with the original. I really wish that there was another controller and the price raised $10-15. If you miss the old days of the new then this could be for you.

This is a cute, fun, nostalgic device, or even good for anyone who missed the NES/Famicon back in the day. It is held back by its extremely short controller cord, making an extension cord an almost mandatory purchase. Another option is to get a wireless controller, but that costs almost as much. Also, if you own a Nintendo Switch, many of these titles will be coming to the online service in September, making this hard to justify now.
