    NES Classic

    I love the idea of this, although I would have liked a larger selection of games or the option to add more through purchases. My main gripe would be that the controller cord is insanely short, and that you have no option of returning to the main menu other than getting up and pressing the reset button (no option via controller). Otherwise, this is fantastic and a great nostalgic trip down memory lane.

    The NES Classic Edition is perfect for anyone who grew up with the original Nintendo Entertainment System or who is a newcomer to the industry and would like to experience some amazing titles from back in the day. For $60, these 30 games are totally worth it.

    It's a nice little emulator in the shape of an actual NES, albeit smaller. Awesome selection of games, very enjoyable. Finally got a chance to play NES classics for the first time. Also liked the design of the box and the nice poster that came with it.

    Enjoying this very much, all the games I spent playing in my late teens and early college years. Brings back found memories. Missed out on the initial release. Liked the games better on this than the SNES, glad I waited for the re release.

    I used to have the old Nintendo years ago and am so glad they brought this back. I just wish the controllers came with longer cords. I also wish it would be back In stock So I could buy another system

    -Just Love it, it brings back the days of Transformers, Voltron, Cabbage Patch, Goonies, TopGun, and everything else about growing up in the 1980s. Turns out to be $2 a game! What a home run. -wish it had Tetris, but no big. Mario Bros 1 is my fav

    Cute bit of nostalgia but falls short in gaming

    This tiny NES box brings back some great memories. Fortunately that doesn't include blowing in carts and jiggling the tray mechanism. It's great that they added the ability to save the state of each game so you can pick up at a later time. Core games are there and still have their quirky original behaviors and the controllers are just like the originals too. It's a great design idea to use micro-USB to power the unit opening up the window for different ways to power the unit. I've been using a USB power bank since it's sitting on my coffee table a good 12+ feet away from my tv. Buuuuut... The controller cables are way too short making buying extension cables a necessity. The game count should be way more for a $60 price point. 30 games seems like the minimal amount to make the unit appealing. Plus there's no (legal) way to add more games, like on the Wii through a store. They missed the mark on that one. There isn't much more to complain about other than that, but that last point is kinda a biggie if you wanna actually play your shiny new old NES.

    Great product brings back fun memories of playing these retro games. My kiddos enjoy playing them, too. Must purchase a 2nd controller separately. The controller cords are short, but not a major issue. Overall great for some family fun.

    If you ever had a NES this is great. Quality is superb. It plays and feels like original console. Minor nitpicks. Wish it had more games. Such as all NES Mega Man games. Even all first party NES games would be nice. It only comes with one controller so you need to pick up a second one. Controller cord is short. This is a nice product. Great for any video game hobbyist.

    Since I bought this system, I thought I would drive my wife insane with playing it all the time. Sad thing is, I get bored after an hour. I love the nostalgia of it, but its not enough to play it more often

    This was a great way to bring back several of the great Nintendo games, just like the original nes minus cartridges! No more blowing and sliding it in just right to work. Plus the new system is smaller! Highly recommend for all those classic Nintendo fans!

    I really can't believe I was able to order one. Thought it was a mistake on the website to be honest. I don't blame BB for the under production of it...blame NES all day. Anyway, product came in as advertised and the right price. Pretty excited about it.

    This is not for serious game players but rather just to remember the original games. It is very basic and a good example of how far technology has come in just a few years. I recommend this item for young children if you want something affordable and basic.

    Perfect to relive the glory days of the NES. Great games and the save states make some games a lot less frustrating. I recommend getting extensions for the controllers as they are ridiculously short, other than that, great system!

    Quick and free shipping. Missed the NES Classic during the first release not thinking it would be so popular. Grabbed one with ease this time around. My only complaint is that it comes with only one controller and the cord is too short.

    I loved this console, it has all the feeling of the old classic NES. Games can be played just the way I used to play them. I'd rather a longer cable controller, though, but I got it fixed with an extra cable extension. I'm sorry if you couldn't get one.

    This was a super buy has all most all the best games NES has to offer. Over 30 games. Only BIG down fall is that the remote has a cord. If that not bad enough the cord is like 2 to 4 foot long so you have to sit so close to the TV. They do this so you would by an extension. Then on top of that there is only one controller when most of the games are two players. Other then that this is a fun time for all.

    For an all in one remake of the original Nintendo system with 30 games installed, I think that they did a pretty good job including the most popular titles... my only addition would have been to include Contra, and Duck Hunt.. Overall, I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!
