Love the small size of the console. The only complaint is that the controller cords are short. I had to buy extension cables. Graphics are good and easy to set up with included HDMI cable

Love it!! The only drawback is the controller it comes with. The cord is about 18 inches long. They make aftermarket wireless controllers or extensions. Just a heads up if you’re buying it.

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!

I would buy more just to have more. This brings back memories of anyone born in the 80s. Just wish Nintendo made more and also made other consoles like the N64

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.

The shipping was great and the item was well packaged. The Nintendo was a fun little system to play. A real blast from the past. The best part is best buy doesn't rip you of like other retailers.

Having this is like reliving my childhood, except now rather than playing with my neighborhood friends I get to play with my own kids. Well worth the money. Nintendo did a great job with these.

Love it but you need to buy a second controller as it doesn’t come with one and I recommend buying a extender for your controllers but beyond that love it. Glad I was able to get one right away

I grew up in the '80s, so a lot of the games I played when I was my sons' ages are included on the Classic. I definitely recommend buying an additional controller, they're very inexpensive.

Perfect little gaming system that brings me back to my childhood. Bought with the intention to upload more games and did so perfectly. Recommend second controller and cord extensions.

Loves this system. My favorite games back in the days. I can finally play Zelda and not have my cousins telling me I can’t play on their console. Guess what cuzzy’s? I own Zelda now!!

Could this thing get any better (well yes it can if you do a little searching online). Only complaint is that the controller cord is way too short. Buy an extension or a wireless controller too.

Remember the Nintendo entertainment system? It’s back and it’s just as good as you remember it to be, you can also add other games with a quick google search of “adding games to my NES classic”

This lets me play games from my childhood and some that I may have missed. Admittedly they don’t all hold up well but they are still fun to play when you’re looking for a dose of nostalgia.

Unlike the playstation mini the nes has a lot of the old school classics although one can make the argument that a few of the more robust games are missing but its a definite must have.
