    Great gift for my Fiancé (and also for me!). It is small and I think it is a good value.

    So I was hesitant to originally purchase this system esp when I found out about the limited preloaded games. I enjoyed the game selection and the responsiveness of the system. Overall it’s a great nostalgic experience reminiscent of the good old days of video games.

    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.

    This is just a must have item. Brings back so many great memories. I wish this wasn't so hard to get so more people can get this. The only downside (besides the shortage) is , well the super short cord on the controller. Good thing there are wireless and cable adapter options out now.

    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.

    Great emulator of 30 classic NES games. The controller feels just like the original. The only downsides are 1) some of the games are terrible, and 2) the controller cable is too short. Still worth it just for the Zeldas, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Final Fantasy, Punch Out, and Mega Man 2.

    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.

    Amazing Retro Game System

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    Nintendo Fans have to have one. No more blowing on the cartridges. No more Q-tips to clean the leads. And HDMI hookup is easy. Comes with plenty of games, and it is easy enough to add more, should one be inclined.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    NES Classic review

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.
