It was awesome to play the old games again without buying a refurbished NES. The games play and sound the same, so they nailed it. Yes, the controller cord is as short as everyone says, but if you have a long HDMI cable you can get some distance that way, or get a wireless. I have nothing but good things to say about this product.

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!

It took me a while to find an NES Classic but I’m glad I did. It’s got a lot of games I didn’t have as a kid and the standbys we all loved growing up. If you can get hold of one, grab it. It’s a lot of fun.

Ah, it's all the games I remember growing up. The system is solid, the controllers are great. You might want to get those extension cords though because the cords are a bit short.

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.

Playing these games immediately transported me to my childhood. It's amazing how small the game console is. No more blowing on the overheated game cartridges. Only complaint, make the controller wire longer.

This is a must have for any 80s/90s babies who grew up with this. Good selection of games. Could be better. Needs adventure island and ninja turtles. Hopefully a second version comes out with a better catalog

So AWESOME!!!! Wish it would have come with more than one controller but it is still super awesome to play! Should note that the controller cord is SUPER short so don't plan on being far from the console if you want to play it.

First off this thing is so small. Anyway great price point and when I started playing it so many great memories of when I was younger. Passing them off and playing with my kid is great. Just like my dad and I.

It is exactly as described. I would highly suggest getting the 10ft extension cords so that you have more distance from the TV. The games are exactly as you would remember them from the original NES system.

I grew up on the NES in the 80's. This console is packed with lots of nostalgia and fond child hood memories from games that I am now able to revisit. If you grew up or enjoyed playing on the old 8 bit NES you will love this.

This game really reminds me of my childhood. It was still refreshing to play, but I almost forget all the cheat codes. Very nice setup. The only downside was when I opened the box there was only 1 controller.

The Nes is back and it does not disappoint. Just make sure to pick up another controller to play with a friend. The only thing that could have been improved is the length of the cords for the controllers,

The Nintendo unit has more than enough original games to keep a user busy for months, if not years. I do not play that many, but to have both Zelda and Link to experience all over again really makes my day.

Looks neat and comes with a great installment of games. Yea more games and an extra controller would be nice and it would be great if the controller was wireless, but overall it's still a good system.

I totally love this console. Brings me back to a great time in my life and I get to expose my kids to fun games that I enjoyed as a kid without all of these expensive systems and annual online memberships.
