Absolutely love this thing. Brings my childhood back to life. If you don't buy a controller extension cable you'll be sorry. Probably should get a 2nd controller 2. Ninja Giden is the best game ever.

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.

This thing is awesome, brings back memories. It's so fun playing these games again. Only if you can add more games though. But it comes at a great price. It can be a cool gift too.

I was able to snatch one of these up when they arrived and boy was I glad! Can't beat a trip down memory lane playing these old school games. Great piece to add to the collection.

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 little piece of nostalgia for any serious or casual gamer that wants to relive the simplicity of their childhood. There are a few extra games that I wish would have been loaded into the console, and I would give five stars if the cord on the controller was longer.... but all in all it is a great buy!

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.

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 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.

It is great jut like the original. However you will need to purchase an extension for the controller as the one that it is made with is quiet short. Great buy and shipped quickly after purchasing.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

my little kid, and my husband and I played with it for hours when we got it. only downsides are short cables and only 1controller, so you have to buy another and some extension cords
