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!

Had one of these original systems as a toddler growing up and I can still remember playing ! I missed the first release of this great classic as a reboot but made sure to not miss this round !

Lots of quality games that are still highly enjoyable and easy to play. Can't beat the simplicity of 2 button play!
Highly recommend a cable extension unless you want to sit a foot away from the TV to play.

Took me back to the old days without having to spend so much on the classic edition. No lag gaming easy can't wait to teach my kids what games use to be like in the days.

I bought this gaming system as a gift to myself - I remember having the original system when they first came out and couldn’t resist! The fact that 30 games are also preloaded was a plus.

Great little console. Brings back memories from my childhood. It uses a hdmi cable and comes with 2 controllers. The controller cords are short so I recommend buying the wireless controller.

So great to have all these games on this retro console equipped with the best hookup for today’s TVs. The games looked the best they ever have. Even better then on the Wii U virtual console.

Great little system with awesome perfectly emulated original Nintendo games. My only gripe was the need to purchase an extension cord for the controller since they are so small.

Although nothing can replace the classic cartridges, this has essentials that are completely worth the price. Suggest buying a wire extender or wireless control though due to the wire length.

I was really anxious to see how my kids would like the nes classic with some of the games iloved to play as a kid. They really love it and play it more than their ps4. And I have to admit I love to play it too

This item is worth the $60, but not the hundreds of dollars it is being sold for on other sites. As an avid Nintendo fan, I was pleased to be able to play some of my favorite nostalgic games.

This is the old classic revival of the NES. I already owned one, but I decided to get this for a 9-year old who liked the old classics. Anyone who likes the classics should get this system.

Growing up in the early 90's, this game takes me back. Love that my hubby bought this. Great games and even the teens love playing with the adults, cant beat that. Totally worth the buy.

Despite the high demand, this has been worth the wait. Love the nostalgia factor and game selection, and especially love Reset-as-Save for gamer's who can't commit to finishing the whole game in one sitting.

It is just great machine which reminds my childhood memories. Only reason I gave 4 stars is that the controller cord was too short. They should make it either power cord or controller cord longer. I had to spend some extras to purchase extension cords to play on my couch. Other than that everything was good.

I was trying to get this when it was first announced after months and months I finally got one. I don't it was worth the hype bc many young kids won't understand how great these games were back in the day.

Holding out and not buying a NES Classic was tough. The system works really well and the selection of games is great. The controller extensions are a must, unless you find wireless versions.

Gave it to my mom as a gift so she could relive some of the games she actually liked and bothered with as a kid, i mean she's generally not a game person but she appreciates it and it's super easy for her to plug up and play, the only downside is the relatively short controllers even though they're "long" they could of been a bit longer or wireless from the get go. But I understand trying to bring back the experience! Great gift for retro gamers and just some adults trying to relive simpler times for a bit (also super great if you don't have Nintendo online or want someone on your switch to play those games)

Brought back memories from my childhood. Nice selection of games. Only bad thing about is is the length of cord for the controller. Its 5 foot long and really should be double that at least!
