Love having this unit and not having to blow into the cartridge or turn the power on and off over and over. Dozens of classic games and the ability to save. Two thumbs up!

Even though I don't use it as much as I thought I would, it's a great console for the price. I'm glad Nintendo finally made enough to bring the price down.

If you are looking to relive your youth and revisit some of the best NES games I highly recommend this. I would pick up an extension cord as the controller cord is not long.

I am so glad that Nintendo come up with the new improved game. When I was a kid I had the old one and still had it until 3 years ago. Now I don't have to blow cartridges toplay the games.

Took me back to the 80’s where I’m again spending hours having fun. My only wish was for Contra which I got! It’s listed as Super C! Yeah boyeee! In my Flava Flav voice. Lol

Great little system that plays great and good quality brings back so many great memories of when I was a kid...I missed out when they first came out but thank you Nintendo for releasing again but I do recommend getting an extension or wireless remote because the remote wire is super short.

Bought two of these, keeping one in box as a collector's item, the other to play. Great to play some of these nostalgic classics to hopefully pass on to the next generation.

My son was super excited to get it! It had been sold or forever but bestbuy was constantly getting new shipments so it wasn't difficult for me to get. Nice compact size and works great!

If youve been under a rock for the last 3 years this is a mini Nintendo system with 30 of the best old school Nintendo games ever made. Buy it before you cant get one.

I have been wanting to my hand on these for a while. Love that it comes with games preloaded. I really like the size, very portable. I wish it came with two remotes though.

This is a great product for those that love the old Nintendo system. I do believe they didn’t need to be so cheap and just make the cords to the controllers longer. Instead they want you to buy the extensions. So unless you want to sit real close to the tv, buy the controller extensions.

Bring back the nostalgia

Nintendo was smart for bringing back the Nintendo classic. Who wants to rummage through a pile or library of cartridges when you have the listed library of games as soon as you power on the sysytem. The other cool feature is that you could use points to save a place in game that you would have to replay in the old days. My only negative remark is that I wished they gave all the games with screen shots of the game as those were the initial releases for the Nintendo like Kung-fu, Hogan’s Alley, Wrecking Crew, clu-clu Land etc. those are some of the core games, but I guess we can’t have everything in life. Thanks Nintendo

So glad they bought this back! All the fun as a person remembered in the size of a person’s hand. Preloaded games are plentiful & just as one remembered. Only downsize is the controller cord is super short, so get ready to be familiar with your tv screen again. Definitely worth it though!

It plays all my favorite games just like 30 years ago. My daughter loves it - she's younger and not very good with the larger gaming systems but she loves this. Plays Mario like a champ.

If you enjoyed playing the classic Nintendo games as a child, this is for you. Sure you can make your own but this is put together nicely and is ready to go. I would have given it 5 stars but the controller cord is useless. They should have attached a longer cord or just made it wireless.

If you can get your hands on one of these and are a 80's baby you'll feel like a kid all over again. Only issue is super short controller cord, recommend buying a 6-10ft extension cable.
