This little guy is pretty cool, especially if modded to play all of the NES catalog. If you already have a raspberry pi and aren't much of a collector then this won't give you anything extra special.

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!

Have really enjoyed this gaming system. I enjoyed it as a young boy with the original Nintendo system and now with my kids with this newer yet old games. It has been a hit with the whole family.

Not only does this bring back great memories for me, it’s perfect for my 4 year old son to play along with me. The controller is small enough for his hands and simple enough for him to understand.

It’s got all the games I was playing when I was a kid, except duck hunt. Definitely going pick up the second controller, my kids have been loving it. Totally gotta grab one if you ever played NES.

This is the look and feel of the NES you had as a kid but with the ability to save your games at any time. Highly suggest your buy the cord extenders unless you like hugging your tv while you play.

Talk about good ol fashion fun! I am 38 and this brought me right back to my childhood. My whole family LOVES this concept. My only strike against this is the controller cord length is super short.

Nintendo did a really great job with these classic systems. A terrific selection of games and a nice trip down memory lane. Nothing like being a kid playing Nintendo without a care in the world.

Very nice retro console. Well made by Nintendo and gives you that 80's nostalgia. Must have for old and new fans of the original NES. Only downside is the short controller cable. That is my one and only criticism!

Excellent item. I am glad that Nintendo released this updated version and I was able to get one. Wanted it when it first came out but was sold out everywhere. Plays the same as the original games!

I grew up playing Nintendo. I was excited when this was announced. Glad I was finally able to get one. My only gripe is the ridiculously short length of the cord to the controller. If you buy one make sure to buy the controller extension cable to go with it. You'll appreciate not having to see 2 feet in front of your television when you play.

This is packaged nostalgia. Has all the games that you loved when you were young all wrapped together. Good plug and play functionality, only real complaint is the controller cables are very short.

I gave this as a gift, so I don't have any personal experience with the item. But my children, for whom I bought it, loved it!!
They did say they would like to see the old Donkey King and Yoshi games come back!
