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.

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.

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.

I grew up with the NES so to have a mini version of this is great! The games list is great! Also it's awesome that the cords for the SNES classic work with this too! Definitely worth it!

The console and controller look and feel really nice and all 30 games look great on a modern HDTV. The only downside is the short 2ft controller so either get a extender for the controller or a long hdmi.

I purchased the nes classic for my son and he loves this. Although this is his first time playing super mario, he likes it and plays it all the time. For me, it brought back me memories of my childhood.

The NES classic was a good purchase. With all the preloaded games, you always have something to do. The best part is that they gave us some of the best titles released for that system. However, the nostalgic recreation could have ended there and they given us wireless controllers or atleast longer cords.

I got this on the 2nd store release, worth the wait in line. If you are collecting to play the game themselves, this is worth the price since piecing the actual cartridge collection can cost more.

I’m so excited at the realistic version of the old school ninetendo. I wish that it came with 2 remotes but it still doesn’t take away the five star rating. Can’t beat it for the price.

This retro system has been the greatest idea Nintendo has come up with in a long time. I have been able to enjoy all 30 games. Took me back to my childhood and my 11 year old is enjoying it as well.

Really great looking mini system with an amazing library of classic games included. The only cons are the controller cable length and the fact that only one controller is included.

I got this unit for my fiancée and son to bond over. Grant it, I cannot watch them play (not my style) but it's great to see my son playing the games I played and grew up with.

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

A fun bit of nostaligia for the OGs who grew up in the NES generation. Would be nice to have a few more games (Baseball Stars), but a great product nonetheless.

Amazing experience playing some classic games! My only complaint would be the length of the cord for the controller. If you want to relive your old childhood moments of gaming...this console is for you
