    Luckily got one right off the truck as it came in, i missed playing galaga. So this is worth all of $60, hard to get one yes. but the wait is well worth it. I only wish there was a way to add more games to it.

    Great and cheap way to go back to retro games. The one thing I was upset with was the short NES cord. But owners of the SNES Classic can use their SNES controllers instead. It's only a little longer the NES controller cord, but a much needed improvement. Glad to see Nintendo rerelease this console. Enjoy gaming!

    It's been a lot of fun showing my kids what gaming was like when I was growing up. They hop right on and play games with me. However, I really wish Tetris was included. It's the one game really missing from this collection. We spend most of our time on the Super Marios but occassionally branch out. The unit itself sets up super easily. We bought an extra controller and controller extensions. The original controller sometimes is a little slow in responding. The "A" button in particular is unreliable. But the new controller seems to be fine so it's the classic battle of who gets to be player A vs player B and which controller is better. Ah, the nostalgia!

    The NES is the best thing ever coming back. Its just like the older one but easy to carry and no having to try and make old games work. They are already install in one little box

    It was awesome to play the old games again without buying a refurbished NES. The games play and sound the same, so they nailed it. I have nothing but good things to say about this product.

    Such a great compact game system with all of our nostaligic games from the 80s. My favorite is Super Mario Brothers 3 and I'm so surprised by how much I remembered from playing decades ago.

    The best 8 bit gaming console. Awesome mini replica of the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Used to play Donkey Kong, Pac Man and Galaga in arcades back in the 80's. It is awesome!!

    This NES Classic has not disappointed! It is so awesome to play games from my era. So many games to choose from, the ability to save games, save any point in game, just make it more fun and better experience.

    Great fun little console that has a lot of Nintendo black box games. To bad that it doesn't have more titles, but I guess because of licensing, they could get all of the triple A games. Lacking some of the greats, its still a fun system to play with

    for any old school gamer this is a great system but be prepared to look far and wide for an extra controller and a controller extension cable is an absolute must if you arent going to go the bluetooth route. If you dont get the extension youll literally be face to face with your TV as the chord is super small.

    I had the original NES when I was a teenager. This system did not disappoint me. The graphics were good and most of the popular games are on the system. I wish it would have had more games installed though. I highly recommend getting extension cables for the controllers. The controller cable is only 4 ft long.

    This is a great little toy for the price of a game and put together very nice, 3 negatives: Only get one controller, but can get extra for cheap, WAY TOO SHORT controller cable, and no future expansion possible which lowers replay value but not for kids just adult

    I bought this for Christmas for my mother-in-law and she absolutely loves it! There are a ton of games on it so you're sure to find some that you played on the original Nintendo.

    The NES Classic Edition is everything that I had hoped for - small and compact, but the games are exactly as I remember playing them as a kid and they look great on a large HD television.

    I have anticipated the release of this entertainment system and it has been fun to relive these games again. It is a great product overall, but I still prefer the original system and the ability to play older game cartridges would add a lot to this product. A lot of fun overall and Mario is a classic.

    It's AMAZING that Nintendo was able to fit all the good ole games into such a compact gaming system. The kids LOVE playing the games, ESP the ones that were popular way back when.

    Really happy I got this, use to play most of these games as a kid, this system works great, you can even add more games( at your own risk) price was great compared to people reselling for 100 plus, delivery on time, my only problem is the controller cord is a bit to short, but there is an extender available.

    Great little nostalgic console! Need to buy 3rd party controller or cord extensions because, like everyone else is saying, the controller cord is way short, and it only comes with one...
