    I love that Nintendo brought these systems back and I was finally able to get this one. I missed it the first time it came out. But I would recommend a second controller and the extension cords or get wireless controllers. The original cord is extremely short haha.

    Lots of great games and wonderful packaging for hours of fun. The only downside is there is just one controller and the cord is short. I was able to get a wireless controller and this has made playing a lot easier. For Nintendo freaks, this is a MUST have console.

    I bought this unit because I grew up with the real deal and had some great memories playing on it. This little version does the trick! It brings me joy to play some of the same games I played as a child. The unit works well and I’m glad I bought it!

    Love it! Brings back lots of memories for me and my daughters. We enjoyed introducing our youngest generation to something that we enjoyed playing! Will bore game savy kids who like xbox or playstation, but is a perfect beginner system! The preloaded games are a blast from the past!

    Amazing Retro Game System

    All the greatest of Nintendo with Super Mario 3 being my highlight. This game system is truly worth the price. The reason for the 4 out of 5 stars is for the controller “situation”. Nintendo SHOULD have provided two controllers, Nintendo should have made more OEM controllers available to purchase since two were not included. Nintendo should have given more then 3ft of controller cord as you sit too close to the tv.

    Love the number of games that are loaded on the mini. Wish the cord for the controller was longer though.

    Plays great easy to use but graphics are poor like in the 1990’s. Beware if you are buying this for yourself and you have kids around they will take it from you. You may want to invest in 2 long cord controls or wireless one the cord is very short.

    After over 30 years from the original NES launch the NES classic still captures the magic of retro gamers. The controller (it only comes with one) has a very short cable. I recommend a bluetooth controller or a long HDMI cable. Amazing system that beats any other emulation picture.

    Picked up the NES classic , some chips, soda, and stayed up all night like a kid again. Only complaint would be the short controller cords. It might have been done so that you can’t throw the controller at the TV, I forgot how challenging some of these games are.

    NES Classic review

    Great piece of nostalgia gaming. Has a few great games, some good games, and about half are games that are not good in my opinion. Only comes with one controller. The controller cables are very short, so buying controller extension cables is a must. This is still a good product, but I would recommend the SNES classic over the NES classic.

    Such a great gaming system! All of the original games. Well, 30 of them anyway. You can look up online how to download more. I highly recommend the bluetooth controller that has a home/reset button on it so you don't have to get up and do it yourself. No regrets!

    I love it! Wish there were more games or a way to add more to the system. The controller is very short so I recommend buying the extension four the controller or purchasing a wireless controller. We bought two wireless controllers and the problem was fixed.

    Bought 2 games systems one for home and one for grandchildren they play all the time works great controller cords are to short so you have to buy the extensions to play comfortably. The preloaded games are the ones my kids played on the original system so they help the grandkids

    My husband and I played the original NES when we were kids so we were super excited to see this come out. It comes preloaded with 30 games and is basically plug and play. Super easy setup. Even our teenager is enjoying it!

    Many old classics are included that make this worth getting if you can find it. I wish it included two controllers for 2-player games, but it's easy enough to purchase an extra controller if you wish to play with 2 players.
