    Love this! It brings back memories of playing games as a kid. Even better I can play with my young toddler since there are only a few buttons.

    I grew up playing NES & SNES, but had to sell both systems some time ago. Im glad they brought back the NES with some great games built in.

    The NES Classic is a great way to bring classic gaming into your home. The only issue I have is that it does not include a 2nd controller, which have been hard to find in store. The controller cords are also pretty short, so you'll have to buy extenders.

    This totally makes me feel like a kid again. My only critique is I wish the cords were longer or even wireless other than that, good family fun.

    I bought this as a surprise for my husband and kids. It has actually been amazing as a transition tool for some parent/kid bonding. We do tons of other stuff and actually really aren't a video game family, but it has been a nice bonding time during our down-time for the kids and my husband to teach one another the tricks they find and for my husband to relive his childhood a little bit. The games included are fun (wish it had paperboy! ha!), only comes with one controller that has a very short cord which reeks of "stingy" from NES, but there we are.

    Lots of your favorite games in a much easier to use format. You can even save your progress. Only drawback is the incredibly short cord for thexample controller.

    I got this as a gift for my boyfriend for Christmas, and he was so excited to open it. He immediately bought the accessories for it and loves how portable it is.

    Nintendo did an excellent job of recreating NES system into the NES Classic Edition. Packed with 30 games, you can relive the memories thru this classic edition.

    Played these games years ago. I think I romanticized therm a bit... I was so excited to get this. Extension cables are required as the cord for the controller is laughably short. Some games are more fun than others. I want to love this but I just like it.

    Purchased for a patient entertainment project at work. It works so well I would buy one for home if I wasn't afraid I would play it for days solid.

    Great throwback. My kids said it looks like Minecraft. LOL. I would recommend getting the after market controllers. This one comes with a 3' cord.

    Great product of Nintendo. Nostalgia and good old memories of the 80’s. The only bad thing is only come with 30 games. I would prefer at lease 50.

    Total nostalgia purchase, and I got what I was hoping. All I can ask for...I do wish the cords were longer, but there are workarounds for that so it's all good.

    Every house on the block should have one of these in it! Lots of great games to play, Can even save your spots. Only downfall is 1 controller with a short cord.
