This is a must have. I waited quit a long time to finally get and it was worth it. A great flash back to some great games in their day!!! My son is also enjoying them as well!!! The only thing is buy the extension cable for the controller. Its barley 2 ft long. We got a 10ft.

This honestly is my version of the fidget spinner! The NES mini is my stress reliever. Plus n play. No more blowing in game cartridges or banging the console ha! Only downside is the the short controller cable. I hate that you have to buy a darn extension for the controller.

If you are looking for something to do with yiur fanily and friends, i do recommend that you purchase the Nintendo Classic from Best Buy. Its preloaded with all your favorite games unlike ones featured at Wal Mart and Amazon. We play it often and its sooo fun.

An almost homerun concept from Nentendo. Like the retro styling, but they should have included the ability to purchase more games and charged a little more. Something to think about in the next version.
Regarding Best Buy's delivery of these units however, I do have a complaint. Bought mine on Nov 11 after waiting in line for approx. an hour. Wanted one for my nephews, so want back to the store to wait in line from 6:30am to store opening at 8am this past Tuesday. When I arrived I was excited to find only 8-9 people in line and figured I had a chance. Then after ten minutes a random store employee, seemingly not in uniform, walked up and told us the vouchers were distributed at 6am. Yet no sign was posted outside the store to let additional customers know that no more vouchers where available, making possible for BB customers to lose a lot of valuable time for no reason. When I asked additional Store personnel why the vouchers were dispersed at 6am as opposed to store opening(as they were on 11/11) the employees stated that was the policy. I find it troubling that the store employee who notified us rather rudely that the vouchers were no more was also very keen on bragging that he had one of the vouchers distributed at 6am. Apparently it is ok for Store employees to have an inside line on product releases. Further confusing was the fact that I immediately headed to another store to find 50+ people in line waiting for store opening at 8am. Which leads me to believe that the fix was indeed in at the first store. If Best Buy cannot manage its policy for product releases from store to store consistently then maybe it should abandon the line-up process all together in favor of some type of raffle system. That way all of the customers would have an equal shot at the new hot product.

Great game console. All the games preinstalled, you can’t go wrong for the price. It brings back many good memories. I find graphics the same as original Nintendo which is awesome. Now my grandsons are having a blast with it as we did back in the day. If you can, get one!

for me it all started with the NES, now my and my kids play the classics on this NES and picked up an SNES classic too. Love that Nintendo did this, easy plug and play, runs off USB (power it by your tv, that's what we do)
Classic games are so much fun.

The size of the system is the first thing that got my attention,and the games included are a fantasic way to remember good childhood memories, the only 2 things that needed to be adressed is the size of the cable in the remote, and the fact that a 2nd controller is a must.

The system is exactly the way you would hope Nintendo to bring it back as. Everything is the same, except you can choose a different way to view the image on the screen. It has pixel perfect, and CR14 to view it in its original format with the lines.
Only drawback is the cord for the controller; it is way to shirt. You also only get one controller and it's difficult right now to buy an extra one.
Completely surprised at how many of the games I remembered!

Got this for the 8 & 5 year olds to see what life was like “back in the day”, plus it’s fun for me. Really you need the controller extender unless you are playing in a vehicle or on a relatively small TV, otherwise you’ll be pretty close to the screen. Enjoying it!

I've really enjoyed playing on this system. A few games I would've like to see on it, but you can't please everyone with that. I highly recommend getting the controller extension cords you can buy for about $10, the cord on the controller included is maybe a 2 foot long.

My husband used to love playing Galaga and when we found out it was included on this console I had to get it for him for Christmas. He loves it! Although, had I known he was going to hook it up to the bedroom tv I probably wouldn’t have got it! He plays for hours!

I purchased this product because of my love for those classic games I played as a child. I have enjoyed playing these old games with my children and they have also enjoyed play time on the machine.
The only downside is the length of the remote cables. They are only a couple feet long, so it makes it tough to play on a large tv.
I ordered some cable extenders online and now I can play the games while sitting on the couch.

Once I was finally able to buy one of these, I've been having lots of fun playing many games I played as a kid. It's also a great way to introduce video games to younger kids because these games don't have the realistic hyper violence so many current games have. And you can't beat the price.

The NES classic is awesome, the games are just as I remember them. Nintendo did an awesome job with the emulation and the options it has are a nice touch. Only complaint like everyone else is the controller cable length. That’s easily fixed with a extension cable.

Cute and somewhat cheap miniature of an NES with the added functions of having some games preloaded on it. It's a fun thing to have to give as a present but nothing to write home about, either way for anyone that's a big Nintendo fan or classic video game fan this'll be right up their alley.

Since the Switch has no Super Nintendo games on there store this is the only way to get them these days. Worth every penny! To buy these games and a system off ebay would cost 500-1000 for the original system and games! So way cheaper to just pick this up from best buy!
