Love this throwback system, however what’s up with the short cord? I’m practically nose to nose Mario when I’m playing. Bo Jackson trucked me like the Boz when I was playing Tecmo Bowl! Other than that I love it!

Fun little system. Works great. Takes me back :) The only reason I deducted a star is because you will need cable extensions and a second controller for the 2 player games. The cable extensions are easy to find, but an OEM controller isn't. I found one awhile back somewhere on the net with some extensive research, but it wasn't easy.

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 bought this console just for Galaga, my all time favorite but find myself playing the majority of the other games included. It makes me feel like I've been transported back into a 1980s arcade!! Love it lots!!

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.

HD 8 bit graphics bring back great memories. Great features such as 30 games, the ability to save game play without codes or playing the whole game thru. Fun for the whole family or the Nintendo generation.

A great throwback to my childhood in a compact little box! The games that come with it are excellent too but I modded mine to have over 600 NES games which makes it an insane bargain. If you're lucky enough to find one, grab it!

This system has a lot of fun games that will send back in history. The system itself feels pretty good and well built for the price. It is incredibly easy to hook up and looks great on any modern TV.

I absolutely love my NES Classic Edition. This is probably one of the highest quality retro consoles on the market. The buttons have truly a first party feel to them. It loses a star because it only has one controller. The cord is also very short on it. I HIGHLY recommend wireless aftermarket controllers for use in a living room environment.

These games were my childhood and I'm so excited to finally have easy access to them again. They feel a bit over the top on a large screen TV as I remember playing them on a small little 15" screen, but that's ok. I'll adjust!

This brings back memories. Had the original system with a few games and the one that had me playing all day long was Zelda and Mario. Cords could be longer because TVs are huge now. Talk about looking at pixels.

With 30 classic games this item is basically nostalgia packaged in a box. Love playing these games and it's nice having access to them all at such a value price. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on one.

This system really takes me back. Excellent emulation with a great interface. The ability to make save states really makes the harder games more fun to play. The game selection is top notch. Highly Recommended.

I’m recovering from a liver transplant and have moved playing this game during my recovery. It’s also served as a good way for me to spend time with my 8 year old nephew and introduce him to my childhood!

This is without a doubt the best Nintendo System for the price. The only complaint is that I would have paid more for an extra controller to be included as cannot find the original controller anywhere. The 30 games are great.

Great deal and takes me back to my past childhood days! Game play is great and so are the games they chose to install this console with. Bought an wireless controller off amazon for it and all works amazing!
