Cool to relive your childhood, but I am an adult now, and after a few hours I have better things to do. You may be less adult than me. My 8 year old plays with it a little bit, but would still rather have my phone. Rediculous controller cord length too short! Have to buy extensions.

I got the snes for my birthday last year, and my wife surprised me with this for Christmas. Being 38, I am an old school gamer and these games bring back fond childhood memories.

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 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.

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.

Just like old times... except you don't have to blow into cartridges to play a game. Cord is too short for the controller and it only comes with one, but solutions aren't hard to find.

The NES Classic is a great self-contained mini console that plays 30 of the best NES games ever made -- but Switch owners will be able to play many of the same titles later this year.

This is a fantastic piece of machinery. One which can be transported and used on any HD TV with an HDMI output. Containing most every essential NES classic title needed. These are a limited item!

I finally got my hands on this little mini version. I never had the original so I'm getting to play retro games. I enjoy the fact that its mini and I can hook it up to my TV via HDMI.

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

After delays by Nintendo, the NES Classic finally gets a bigger release. Just as good as the original. If you are a die hard Nintendo fan, you have to add this to your collection!

It’s great to have the opportunity to play the old classics using the classic controller. I wish there were more classic games included, but the selection it comes with is great.

Glad that this classic was rereleased. Brought back so many memories from my childhood. Easy to use. Recommend getting the wireless controllers unless you can sit right beside the tv.

I love this thing. My favorite games from childhood presented in high definition. It's an easy way to play the highlights from the NES without having to track down an NES and games.

Nintendo has done a great job of recreating the experience of the original NES. The games play exactly as they did on the original. The only negative is the short controller cord which has an easy fix.

Brought back memories to our children; grandchildren loved to see and experience it as well. Our son-in-law spent hours on it, playing all the games he used to play as a child!
