    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!

    I purchased the system to show my kids games I used to play when I was their age. They like the game play but are disappointed with the graphics. You will need to purchase cord extensions for the controllers (out of the box controller is only 2-3 feet.

    Expect this to look just like they did in the 80"s and you will not be disappointed. The cords are short so look to buy extensions for the wired remotes which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Do not go crazy and overpay at other sites if they sell out here on best buy. The unit is worth what you pay but no more. Best part was listening to my children talk about the advancement of graphics from the 80's.

    Nice to have a good collection of games in one place. The skin is a good replica of the original system. The interface is well done, quick saves help with the more difficult games and not having to blow on cartridges to get them to work is pretty nice.

    This system is great the games are just as remembered awesome the only problem is the controller lengths, they only go out like 2 1/2 to 3 feet so I bought a couple of wireless controllers which also work on the snes. Now no problems system is amazing

    This is a great and affordable gaming system from the past. Fun way to relive games from 25 years ago. Everyone in the family loves it. Only negative is the single corded controller is too short. Bought a cordless controller to make the experience great.

    I bought this for my husband and I's wedding anniversary and we have been having a blast!. I made sure to buy an extra controller and wire extensions because the controller it came with was not long enough. Other than that-we love it as do the kids!

    If you’re looking at this little beauty just get it! Super fun to play the games I grew up on with my kid! I do recommend looking for another controller with a longer cord though, the included cord is pretty short.

    If, like me, you grew up with a Nintendo, then this thing is a wonderfully nostalgic blast from the past. It was amazing to fire up the original Super Mario Bros. and hear that classic music. Wonderful way to reflect upon the history of video games.

    I bought this for me to travel back and play some classic games. Turns out my kids love it too. I never thought they would EVER put down a PS4 or Xbox one to play this. This only came with one controller and the cord is very short somewhere around 3 feet.

    Fun to play, easy to use if you arent sure how to go about using a raspberry pie. I do recommend buying a controller with a home button if you are going to buy a wireless controller. That way you don’t have to constantly get up to end/ change games

    I bought this bundle because it came with an extra NES Controller, which are very hard to find at regular price nowadays. Overall the quality Nintendo makes in their products is top notch and their games are very fun. Glad I found this bundle. Thank You

    I would highly recommend this NES Classic system. This brings back childhood memories. Very easy to set up through hdmi. 30 of the most popular games included on this system. No need to switch out games. Also the NES Classic offers 4 save spots per game, unlike the original NES.

    I love these classic games. If you grew up in the era where this was actually your console the classic NES and if you played Mario Bros saving Princess Peach and battling Bowser this is the gaming console for you. Take you back in time real quick. Love it.

    I've used some of the other "retro" console remakes like the Flashback Genesis and the Colecovision but this was by far the most polished and crammed with nice quality of life for these "NINTENDO HARD" games. There is always going to be that criticism of the controller being too short but I think that it is fine especially when the restart button on the console is so integral to switching games. I might have been spoiled a bit by the SNES Classic but the rewind feature on that was so good and handy and I'd love to use it to recover in some in these games. I don't think this will be too hard to find in the coming months, you can still find the SNES Classic pretty easily at the time of this review. I am sure that Nintendo has learned from the backlash of the first run of these and SNES was much better so I wouldn't worry just don't be surprised of these gone in December.

    If you loved the original NES games, they're all here. Sit back and enjoy them again. Too bad it took all this extra time for Nintendo to make the NES Classic Systems available to those other than the resellers, but they are available to us now. Enjoy!!!
