Nintendo Entertainment System NES Classic Edition- Game Console With Controller Included

So much fun. I’m 47 now and grew up with the OG NES. Very therapeutic. I suffer from anxiety occasionally and this helps. Fun to play with younger generations in the family as well.

A whole bunch of classic games from the 80s and 90s. The console game in great condition, and I was able to simply plug in and play. I would recommend getting extensions for the controller cord.

Cool gaming system. It contains some of the best 80's games of all time. The saving feature is the best part.

I bought a used like new. The box was smooshed but everything was inside in great shape. I don't know if it had been opened or not, even the hdmi cable had the covers on the ends. I am very happy with my purchase, my only problem is that it comes with just one controller, and I haven't found a way to buy another actual nintento controller for it. I bought a set of off brand with longer cords, but sadly they were dead on arrival.I wanted to play the Mario Bros game with two people today but couldn't. Anyway this was well worth the 120 I paid for it, I gave it four stars because it only had one controller otherwise it works great!

Upon inspection, this looks to be the real deal. There are lots of fakes out there, but not in my opinion is that the case here, the unit checks out. Packaging matches the listing, but it might look different to some because it is the European model. The differences between North American and European NES are minor: no color poster included and no power adapter included, which makes sense because North American power adapters are very different from those in Europe. Other than that, it's identical and includes the same 30 games. As most know, the NES classic mini have been extremely difficult to find since the announcement. Very pleased to have one.

Mario Brothers is not on this game console and none of the other popular games are on there either. It’s a bunch of games that nobody’s ever heard of.

The controller is very short and useless. The entire console stopped working after 3.5 months. Paid too much for this to break. Completely worthless. I didn’t buy a knockoff one either and it was still garbage.

Pros:1. There are some well-recognized and fun games, and they play smoothly.2. The controller size is acceptable, and layout matches the original NES, which is good.3. Since it's digital, you won't run into the problems with cartridges wearing out over time, which is great.4. The build-in games means not having to take up a lot of space to store all those old cartridge games.Cons:1. The unit only shipped with a single controller, and I haven't been able to find an "official" mini-NES controller anywhere, including even on Nintendo's website. I did find another one you can buy, but it has mixed reviews, with many people reporting malfunctioning controllers. The unit should've shipped with two controllers.2. The cord that came with the single controller is entirely too short. There is an HDMI cable that is short, so you have to keep the unit close to the TV, and the controller cord is only about three feet long, which means you can't sit back on your couch and play the games; instead, you have to stand right next to your TV in order to play it, unless you order another extension cord specifically designed for this type of controller. The original NES had cords that were about six feet long or so. This unit should've shipped with controllers with longer cords. I'm including a photo of how short the cord is. In the picture, you can see I have to remain standing, and just a couple feet from the television, in order to play the games, due to how short that cord is.3. The console is incredibly overpriced, consider the factors above, and the final point I'll make below. At approximately $250 at the time of this writing, it should've had multiple controllers, with long enough cords, and should've had a lot more games, as I'll talk about next. This is WAAAY too expensive for what you're getting.4. Finally, there are some big-name games included with the console; however, there are a ton of no-name games and, since this unit only holds 30 games total, it is also missing a bunch of other really big-name popular games from the original NES. With the console being digital now, it could've very easily, and should've, had pretty much every Nintendo (NES) game installed on there; but, they didn't do that. And, there doesn't appear to be any way to add more games, such as if you paid for an extra "game pack" at a later date that would then install many more games. This whole approach is an absolute travesty, and was poorly designed.Since they only list some of the games on the system, I'll list all of the games here that come with the console, and include pictures showing them as well. Below that list, I'll also have a separate list of a bunch of other popular games that they did not install on here, but should have...The games that ship with this console:1.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game19. Load Runner20. Spy HunterAlthough I'm sure some other people may have a few more to add to that list; these are some of the best selling NES classic games, and should've been included.Overall, due to the limited games, only having one controller, and that controller having an extremely short cord, and the hefty price tag for all the things that it's missing, I give it 2 out of 5 stars. If the controllers and cords were fixed, then I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars. If these additional missing games were added, then I'd give it 5 out of 5 stars. As it is, it only gets 2 out of 5.I personally kind of regret buying it at this point.
