This system takes me back to when I was a kid and played all these games. Certainly it would be cool if there was a way to download more games or play old cartridges, but it's still a great product.

Bought this as a gift for my wife as my original NES is getting up in age. I can't get her to stop playing. Make sure to get the remote extensions or longer HDMI as the controller cord is very short.

Was lucky enough to get this when it was first released and love it! Controller cords are definitely a little short but luckily found the extensions at Best Buy as well. Would definitely recommend the NES Classic to everyone.

Bringing back the 80's.

You can't buy a used console and half these games for $60. How could you pass it up. The plug sticks out a little too far, and the controller cable is WAY too short. Just means you have to drop another $10. Still a bargain.

I remember having one of these as a kid the only difference is this system is much smaller than my original one and this one plays a ton too f games. If you were lucky enough to get one it was a great buy for the price.

Disappointed with Nintendo

Great classic games but Nintendo slacked on only providing one controller, in addition the cord is short. They could have gone wireless the other thing is that you cannot upgrade to any other classic games. Sega has done a better job at providing a better retro console with better features

Brings back memories of my childhood. Lots of fun and decent variety of classics. Good thing is they can be hacked and more games added to them. It's a win/win and great for vacations.

A Nintendo mini proves that size does not matter a great combination of games in a futuristic new way of playing. I love the Nintendo mini it reminds me of the first one just in the a smaller size.

I recently bought this gaming system and my family loves it. I enjoy playing the "old school games" with my sons. I would give it five stars if the cord on the controller was longer and if it included Ms. Pac-Man. I bought the cord extensions to correct the short length. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

This is a great console to get if you grew up playing on the NES. The control feels like the original, the games are just as fun now as they were back in the day. My kids have been playing on it as well.

Do you like retro games??? because if you said "HECK YEAH!!" just slam down some money and go to town on this classic NES system. If you said "NO WAY" just go home and cry yourself to sleep.

Comes preloaded with a bunch of games, but can be easily modified to have many many more. Great for someone who doesn't want to scour Craigslist or some other thrift store for an old Nintendo console and pricey old games.

If you are a serious NES gamer it won’t compare to the input lag stats of an original with a cathode Ray tv however if you are looking for nostalgia you can have some great fun with this system.

I had almost all these games growing up and this just amazes me on how small this device is. I remember having a bookbag to carry my NES system to bring to my Grandparents house and cousin's places.
