I was lucky to grab this when it went back on sale. This system has 30 classic Nintendo games without having to blow on the games itself. It’s all loaded in. Recommend if you don’t have. Nintendo system!

Brings back great memories and love the save capabilities. Cords are WAY too short but you can find cheap extensions only. Another tip is that an old Wii classic controller will also work and since it has a home button you don't have to worry about hitting the reset button on the unit. Hoping they make an SNES one as well and make a lot more this time!

This is really cool. So many games packed into one console. Only down side was I had to buy an extension for the controller and an extra control so two can play. Not a big deal. Great deal for the money.

The NES Classic does everything it promised. It can also use the same wireless controllers I had bought for my SNES classic. I really appreciate how it uses standard USB and HDMI connections too.

I was fortunate enough to get a few of these so far. NES Classic is amazing. Brings back so many memories from back in the day. My wife enjoys this too which is a huge plus because she cant get into Xbox or Playstation.

Christmas morning, the year? 1988. My family sitting around the tree on our shag carpet making memories with our new VHS camcorder. The amount of sheer joy after months, nay, years of begging for virtual entertainment moments from becoming a reality. Suddenly, Santa walks in...not dad...Santa....he sneezes and glitter shoots out his pants...the pure magic is surreal. You hear elves dancing in the kitchen above you and your family is suddenly not the sister or brother you remember, but instead you see Joey Tanner and Kimmy Gibler reaching out to hug you in their new hand-knit Christmas sweaters. This is not a dream, this is what happens when you open the box to the NES Classic Edition....Nuff Saiid

Great for either the nostalgic older gamer or younger players that you want to introduce to the classics. Decent selection of games and you can always add more yourself(with a bit of know-how).

I purchased this nes classic. This was the best $60 spent. Plenty of games and guaranteed hours of fun. Best of all is I can install 600+ nes games on this console and they all work. Anyone interested?

The only issue I have is that the NES Classic only includes one controller when the SNES Classic has two. Otherwise, I love this device. There are classic games that I loved playing when I was younger and some games I've never played before and am going for the first time. Definitely recommend to any classic/retro gaming fans.

I still have my original NES that works, but this is so much easier to hook up with the HDMI cord. It even has a CRT mode to make the lines scroll across the screen! Good, classic entertainment.

Top quality product with an excellent selection of NES games. Highly recommended for gamers of all types, there's something for everyone (although you'll want a second controller for two-player games).

This is truly a blast from the past. The plug and play nature is awesome. So many of the games I grew up playing brings me back to my childhood. From Tecmo Bowl to Zelda this is a trip. Love it.

This game system takes me back to the good old days, I love this game. I just wish you didn't have to hit reset every time you want to change to a different game. Other than that it a must have.

My family and I are loving having this system. It is fun to show our children some of our most memorable video games, and this system works great! No more blowing in the games to "clean" them!

This system is just awesome! Though the number of games is limited it does bring you some of the classics. Zelda, Metroid and the Super Mario games...? I'd pay $60 just for that lot.
If you owned it back in the day or just wanna introduce the next generation to the origin of it all... just secure one of the NES Classics !

Excellent game selection—hits from the best the NES has to offer. I haven’t gotten bored with it yet! The controller is a comfortable size, although I wish it would have come with more than one!
