    Fun little collectible. There are many ways to emulate old games but I like this because it looks cute sitting in the entertainment center.

    Pretty much my whole childhood on a 6 inch square box. The controller cable is pretty short so you need to be somewhat close to the tv.

    I was very excited to wait in line at my local Bestbuy store to get a hold of this. We opened this on Christmas morning and played our hearts out of Nostalgia.

    This is truly a classic. Anyone who grew up playing console games will immediately appreciate what Nintendo has made. I just wish they would have made more!

    The family has loved having the NES Classic Edition! Well, at least the ones old enough to remember the original version! The only complaint I've heard so far is the same as we've heard from others, the shortness of the HDMI cable or the controller cables that requires being so CLOSE to the monitor to play! Come on Nintendo! I know we're over 45 years old, but we've got a 48" TV and we're sitting 3 feet from the TV! It's like watching a Tennis match; back-and-forth over and over to see the entire game on the screen! But hey, still great fun!

    Other than being hard to find in stock, this is a fun little system. If you THINK you want this, then you DO want this. Find it. Buy it. Nostalgia at its finest

    Coolest Little Console Ever

    This thing is great. Tons of fun games and plenty of them worth playing. The only problems I see with this console is that yes the controller cables are short but if your like me and connect it to a monitor on a desk they are a perfect length. The only other small issue i see is that some of the games are not as value packed as some of the others are. In that you will probably only play them once or twice and probably should have been left off the device. That still doesn't really subtract from this console and it is still definitely worth a buy.

    Having this retro product is awesome! Reliving the good ole times with my grandparents playing these games. But the cord for the controller is really short! I ended up buying extensions which was no big deal. Great product and still enjoy playing it.

    Great system, brings back memories of playing the original NES as a kid. I wish the controllers were wireless and to have ability to buy more games for it. I'm glad I didn't have to pay twice as much to an Ebay scoulper and got it at retail. Definitely worth the $60.

    Nostalgic and easy to use. Only issue is controller cords are super short. Consider purchasing wireless controllers. But still a great buy!

    I missed out on the NES Classic when it originally launched so I'm glad Nintendo came to their senses and produced more than 200k of them. A lot of the games are hard to really sink your teeth into these days but there are some definitive classics and it's cool to see where so many amazing game series' got their start. The system itself is well made, controllers feel like the original ones, the emulation is spot on, and all of it is here in one cool, tiny, nostalgia-filled package. The NES Classic is a must have for video game fans.
