    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!!!

    Finally was able to purchase the NES Classic re-release this summer. It works just like the original game system back in the 80's. Good to see they are manufacturing them again. The only drawback is it only comes with one controller with a short cable.

    This is the product I was so excited to buy but was unable to purchase the first batch when released. It is awesome to play all the old nes games I played as a child, it feels as close as to the playing the real thing without blowing on the cartridges. That said, you should not buy this product more than original price as it really is a novelty. My only complaint is the controller cord is very short.

    I originally wanted this system when it first released back in Nov. 17, but I beaten to punch and were sold out...I finally got the system just recent and it was worth the wait. Absolutely love every game installed and so easy to now save your progress.

    I love this little box. I still have a original nes and play it often, but it does have it's problems. This new little nes is so nice. There's no blowing in the game or resetting the box to get the game to come on. I should of bought it sooner.

    So happy Nintendo decided to bring this back. it was getting ridiculous with private sellers trying to get 200+ for this. Has some good iconic games that are still fun to play today. If you loved the old simple but fun games you'll love this mini system. on the other hand if you have a Nintendo switch or other Nintendo with their store, it would be easier and maybe cheaper to just buy it there.

    This mini system purchase was for myself and I love it! I can play a variety of old school games. Also, my young son even put down his PS4 controller to join in on the fun. I was very shocked given how much he loves that darn system.

    Great nostalgic entertainment, takes me back to my younger days. My husband and I used to play the original Nintendo together in our early years of marriage (pre-kids), great memories that we get to recreate now post-kids with the NES classic.

    Has most of the Nintendo NES Games I would want to play again after all these years. All are as much fun as I remember them. Make sure to upgrade the controller cables with extensions or get wireless ones, the stock controller cables are way too short.

    I couldn't wait to get my hands on this!! Growing up in the 80s, the NES was the console to own... and NOW anyone can re-live their retro games or new generation of kids can witness gaming history. What's old is NEW again and the NES Classic lives on!

    I'm so Happy that they brought back the NES all the fun on all the classic games Mario's Donkey Kong, Zelda Etc. Etc. My Grandkids are amazed how the gaming has become today since than and really don't know how to work the controller. Love it Thanks

    I am having a ball with it. Showing it to my kids. They are laughing at the graphics. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the single controller has a really short cord. You can not get too far away from the TV. However it was not enough to decrease my rating.

    Took me a while to get one, but was lucky when they were put online early on February at Best Buy website and was able to grab one. Love the games, and works perfectly, control cable to short but you can buy the extension cord which I did and I'm truly happy with it.

    I was so excited when I heard this was being re-released and even more excited when I actually got one. Plays well and I love the save feature so I don't have to start over everytime I die. The selection of games is wonderful. Highly enjoy them all

    If you enjoy playing those old classic video games than this is the system for you. Maybe the only downfall is the wired controllers but I had wireless already so it didn't matter. Lot's of great classic gaming options with all the titles we loved.

    NES Classic Edition is a very cool retro gaming system that comes pre-loaded with 30 classic NES games. Downfall, the wire on the controller is on the short side, but you can purchase extension cables for only a few dollars The graphics look the same as they did 30 years ago. If you're looking for some 8-bit nostalgia, The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition won't disappoint.

    I have played multiple emulator systems but this is by far the best one I've ever played. The mechanics are perfect and the saving system is awesome. You don't have to keep the NES on for hours anymore to keep your spot in the game. The game selection is also top notch
