I was able to get one of this after standing in line all night. I love the system to play all these games. The only drawback is that the controller cable is short and had to buy a extension for it. Other than that it is awesome

Love playing and remembering these games from a long time ago and all in the same place. Wish it had the amazing football game and world cup dodgeball, but everything else is great.

I got this for myself. It is just what I wanted. Great classic games at 2 dollars a piece. Only problem is it has one controller and the cords are short. But even those are only a 20 dollar total cost fix. Have fun.

The nostalgia effect it strong on this set. Wish they had the Zelda titles, but it's fun for the kids to play. Beware... The controller cables are incredibly short. invest in an extension or wireless adapter.

Complete nostalgia trip here... great fun replaying games from my childhood. Very happy Nintendo made more of these... I missed these when they first came out and i was not going to pay inflated re-seller prices.

I wish we had the option of adding different games but it's a solid reboot. Main issue lies with short cords on controller that comes with system. I've gotten around that issue with a wireless unit that is perfect.

You won’t be disappointed with the NES classic system. It packs Nintendo’s famous games like super Mario Bros 3 or contra. It’s so small you can take it with you to a friends house and enjoy hours of entertainment.

I have been waiting years to purchase this system. One of the main reasons I bought it was for Donkey Kong but my kids are enjoying all the other games as well and we will be buying another one as a present shortly

Love all the games. I couldn't wait to play Zelda and Link!!! So happy that I don't have to change out the cartridges too. The wireless remote doesn't seem to be as responsive as the wired controller though.

A great system for playing some select classics. Can be modded as well.
Draw back is it only has one controller and you have to buy a second separately. Wii classic controllers work on it.

The NES Classic is the addictive gaming system that we all loved in our glory years and now it's back and better than ever! 30 games preloaded so we no longer need to worry about carrying games around. HD picture and easy hook up!

Great fun with this blast from the past! Games work great and I recommend this product. The controller cord needs to be longer, and there should be 2 of them. It's just so fun it's not enough to drop a star off of the rating for it.

I was so glad when this hit the market. I was unable to get it last year, but I jumped at the opportunity to purchase it now. It is fun. The only thing I would change is the controllers cord. It is way to short.

The Nes classic console is a great addition for any family, bringing generations together. The console is petite compared to the previous version. The controller cord length is quite short, I recommend purchasing the extension cord.

The system plays exactly the same as the original. The one major negative that removes one star is the included controller. At three feet, it is too short to play on any screen above 30 inches in size. We had to buy 10 ft controllers from another site.
Nintendo should have include classics like the original Contra, not the awkward Super C.

Nintendo successful video games collection all packed in a small system. This is the best thing to own. You can take this with you to a friends house and play games. Play puzzle games or beat levels. You’ll have hours of entertainment. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the control cable is very very small. You must buy an extension.
