    A lot of the games from the past that I've missed being able to play are now all together on this system. Small so it doesn't take up a lot of space. I love it!

    The nes classic is a lot of fun, and it brings me right back to childhood! Be sure to get the extension because the cords are short. MARIO on the big screen is awesome!!!

    Just like you remember, however the cord to the controller is short, so purchasing the extension cord is a must. The controller doesn't seem to work every time you push a button to jump etc. Could just be my controller or the extension. Still worth it despite that small challenge.

    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.

    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!

    Lots of fun revisiting games I enjoyed when I was a kid. The best part is that my kids can play and the see the difference between today's games and what I played.

    Flashback to the 80s

    Great video system in the 80s and now in 2018. The only thing I didn’t like is that it came with only one remote that has a short cord and you can’t find anywhere an original NES controller. Another thing is the buttons are definitely smaller and it seems sometimes there is lagging.

    Nice selection of games and easy to set up. Only one controller and really short but does not take away the 5 start rating, this is a must have for a video game collector.

    This thing is tiny but has a lot of entertainment value. Games I haven't played since my childhood. Its small and portable and full of fun and well worth the price.

    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 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.

    WoW! The Classic Nintendo

    I am so thankful to get a hold of one of these. When they came out the first time, no one could keep them in stock and the people online jacked the prices to the clouds. I don't like those people taking advantage of others. Anyway, Best Buy had a shipment of these the second time around and i was able to get one. This gaming console is so much fun! It brings back a lot of memories. 30 games in one unit, and it loads very quick. another nice thing, there are no updates and it doesn't have an online function. I think those last two are my most favorite things i like about the classic console. Thanks

    This thing is amazing. You get to play the video games in the 80's and relieve those yesteryears. My only 2 gripes is that it could've had more games that it should from the factory and the cord for the controller it came with is a little short. Other than that, this thing is great.
