So fun! Buy the accessory kit too and your set!

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2019

Works like a charm. Just got it yesterday and all the games work and we have been having so much fun. I bought the cord lengthening bundle that has the extra controller and ac adapter with it and haven't had any issue. We had an extra hdmi cable to hook it into the tv from the wii, so no biggie there. The games are so fun and what a neat thing to share with my own kids! We played kirby and zelda for hours! The console is tiny! Looks like a super mini version of the old one. Now I am going to order the super nes since this one turned out so well. This is a EU console so you do have to get the adapter for it and if you dont have the extra hdmi then that would be good too. This is the kit I bought: Piranha Performance
Accessory Kit for NES Classic Edition with Controller, 2 Controller Extension Cables, Power Adapter
It was $20 but well worth it. You get an extra controller and lengtheners for the controllers and that ac adapter.
Does it suck to spend the extra $20? Yes. But it's fun and worth the enjoyment we are getting out of it.

It's awesome..

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2017

It's awesome...first it is tiny. I can fit it in my purse easily. I love old Nintendo games. My original console broke long ago and I still have my old games wishing for a day when I ran across a working one. Awww wishful thinking. Now I can play my old games anywhere, a wii and hard drive can't do roadtrips but this can. Shame is doesn't have duck hunt but no matter it has Mario, Zelda, and punch out and those are my all time favs I never get board of. Retail price is 60 however it is discontinued and if you call any game stop they tell u it's not carried and u might find one in fantasyland..the china ones with bootleg games r easy to find with 500 games and more than half are junk games. this one with original games not to easy to find anywhere near retail pricing ..I paid the price but I love my old games so to me it is worth every penny. My young adult kids love it to...yes it is pricy but it depends on if it is worth it to u. If you love the old games and prefer playing them to Xbox one games or the other new system games like me than u be happy with it. If u expect to pay near retail for a discontinued item, it's not going to happen I looked for months even people on craigslist and OfferUp wanted 200 for a used one.

I simply look at it like this gaming systems r normally over 200 with no frills and maybe one downloadable game, that might be good. This has 30 popular games even if u found all the original games for 10 but each, which would be dirt cheap, it's still cheaper than buying each game separately. So for me I am very happy I got a mini system that can be played even in my cars overhead tv and 30 original games...

Update we purchased a wireless controller for it. Works great. Still loving it ..it's main purpose is roadtrips though. We went to 2000 miles one way and this system was playing the entire time and back...

priceless nostalgia

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

As a 37 year old 'kid' that grew up with these games it brought a tear to my eye to power this unit up and observe the unmistakable sights and sounds of my old beloved NES games. I missed out on the original $60 price point in retail stores but springing for this was worth it at the list price here. You can't find these games for less than $100's of dollars if you try to get them on their own (and they are old and may not work). So to clear up the rumors... this product is discontinued indefinitely. I read that Nintendo will not make more, as many thought, because they just don't want to encourage interest in old games as a business move for their future. Thanks for making this available!

Short Controller Cord!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

An awesome retro gaming system. Having grown up with the original Nintendo this is a must have. Lots of the most popular game titles. Comes with a crazy long hdmi cord & usb power cord but the controller cord is only about three feet long. And there's only ONE controller included! For the price its no big deal i guess. I spent an additional $25 for a set of wireless controllers. Although this is a vintage gaming system a cordless controller is preferred. I would have been willing to pay twice as much if Nintendo had included the wireless controllers.

Came earlier than expected.. I have been playing constantly for the last few days. The console has the feature to save your progress in any game for up to 4 saves simultaneously. Which is awesome because the original NES didn't allow you to do that. Console has what it says.. 30 plus games and all are functioning as expected and the fact that I don't have fight with loading a game like the old console is refreshing. Yes the joystick is short but the cords to hook to the TVs are long, so I was able to place the console on my coffee table and play like that.. no problem. The console is no bigger than my hand (a females hand) so it's really light and extra small

So much fun to play the old classics I grew up with.
My 16 year old even likes playing pac man,donkey Kong, and Mario brothers with me. Have even come home from work to find her playing it...The only downside is that it only comes with one controller AND the cord is very short...Highly recommended not only buying a second controller, but also getting the extenders so that you are not right up on top of the TV and can sit and relax on the couch..

This console is a lot of fun with the retro old style games. Extremely easy to set up and use. There are a of couple games I used to play years ago and I still find them entertaining. I especially like the controllers that don't have triggers, knobs and joysticks. This is a simple controller and these are games I used to play without too many decisions to make on the controller. I would recommend this to a friend who knows what games are installed.

Chuck Norris' Third Fist

A couple of minor flaws don't harm the amazing nostalgia this console brings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Amazon's courier lost my original order of this but fortunately, I was able to buy one from a third party without paying two or three times the price.

As someone who really enjoys retro games, I felt buying one of these just for nostalgia was non-negotiable and when I finally got it, it was worth the wait.

Perhaps only the most hardcore gamers will like all 30 of the pre-installed games but even with the three Super Mario Bros titles, there's so much variety that most retro game fans will find several games they'll really enjoy.

The games look really sharp on an HD TV though the NES Classic has a mode that gives that slightly fuzzy look of a CRT display though I find this to just be a nostalgic gimmick.

As specified in the description, the console is not supplied with an AC adapter to plug into the Micro USB port. With the console being a low-voltage device, I can use the powered USB port on my TV to power it.

There are a couple of negatives, both are relatively minor but frustrating all the same.
1) To change game or load a save state, you have to reset the console.There's no means to do this with the controller, even with a Start & Select press to reset as had been seen on the SNES' Super Mario All Stars. However, as the controller port is the same as that on the Wii, you can use the Wii Classic controller and its Home button can be used to trigger a reset.
2) The controller cable is far too short for a lot of gamers. At just a yard long, it's OK if you play this console on a small screen TV but if you're playing on anything larger than ~26 to 34 inches, you'll be too close to the screen. Extension leads are plentiful and there are wireless solutions but Nintendo could have been more generous with the cable length as I doubt that a six-foot cable would have broken the bank.

Overall, I'm delighted with this console for the nostalgia it brings. It's a shame that Nintendo did such a deliberately limited run of them to drum up interest as those who missed out are at the mercy of scalers who charge you 2-4 times the price for the privilege.

L'elettronica che non ti serve

Bellissimo

Reviewed in Italy on May 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

Premetto che sul mio canale UTB "L'elettronica che non ti serve" troverete una recensione completa ma di seguito riporto le mie impressioni principali.
Il Nes Mini è una replica perfetta, in scala 0.30 a 1, del mitico nes (o famicom che dir si voglia) degli anni 80. Al suo interno troviamo 30 giochi precaricati ed in particolare
Balloon Fight 1985 Nintendo
Castlevania 1986 Konami
Donkey Kong 1986 Nintendo
Double Dragon II: The Revenge 1989 Arc System Works
Dr. Mario 1990 Nintendo
Excitebike 1984 Nintendo
Galaga 1988 Bandai Namco
Ghosts 'n Goblins 1986 Capcom
Gradius 1986 Konami
Ice Climber 1985 Nintendo
Kirby's Adventure 1993 Nintendo
Mario Bros. 1983 Nintendo
Mega Man 2 1989 Capcom
Metroid 1986 Nintendo
Ninja Gaiden 1988 Koei Tecmo
Pac-Man 1984 Bandai Namco
Super Contra 1990 Konami
Super Mario Bros. 1985 Nintendo
Super Mario Bros. 2 1988 Nintendo
Super Mario Bros. 3 1988 Nintendo
The Legend of Zelda 1986 Nintendo
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link 1987 Nintendo
Si tratta, di fatto, di tutti i più bei giochi usciti, a mio modo di vedere manca solo KungFu e Contra ma è questione di cuore...
Il joypad è una replica fedele dell''originale (medesime dimensioni, colore, funzionalità e materiali) ma con un cavo lungo poco più di un metro, quindi davvero corto. Comunque su Amazon si trovano da tempo le prolunghe.
Il caricamento dei giochi è istantaneo e si possono effettuare tre salvataggi per ogni gioco. Direi che la fluidità dei giochi è del tutto identica a quelli originali a differenza delle emulazioni con Raspberry e Co che, invece, a volte sono più veloci a volte più lente.
Il tutto si alimenta con una micro usb (cavo fornito nella confezione senza adattatore da rete elettrica) e per chi ha come me un televisore recente con alcune porte USB si può tranquillamente collegare lì (in sostanza si autoalimenta come il Chromecast e così via). Non ho riscontrato alcun tipo di surriscaldamento e funzionano perfettamente sia il tasto on-off, sia quello reset (necessario per uscire dal gioco).
In buona sintesi si tratta di un prodotto davvero ben fatto, ottima qualità che vi permetterà di passare ore ed ore davanti ai vostri giochi di quando eravate bambini.
Unica pecca, come ho detto, la lunghezza del cavo del Joypad (l'entrata è la medesima dei joypad wii, pertanto se avete un classic controller funzionerà alla grande anche se non originale ma compatibile).

Sencillamente genial.

Reviewed in Spain on November 18, 2016

Una pequeña obra de arte.
Para los amantes del retro, esta consola es sencillamente genial.

La caja es preciosa. La verdad, no me esperaba que me sorprendiera este detalle, pero sí. Cuando recibí el paquete en mi domicilio me sorprendió mucho lo bonita que es la caja, los colores, las imágenes. Está muy bien lograda y parece tal cual un caja de una consola de los años 90.

En la caja, dentro, viene la consola junto a un mando y dos cables. Los cables que trae son el de conectar a la televisión por vía HDMI y el cable de alimentación. Decir que el cable de alimentación es USB a MiniUSB y no trae enchufe, por lo que tendrás que buscarte la vida para poder conectarlo a la corriente. Un consejo, yo lo que hago es conectar el USB directamente al puerto USB de mi televisor y funciona perfectamente.
Por poner una pega, el cable del mando es muy cortito. Mucho.

¿Qué decir de la consola? Una maravilla.
Cuando la saqué de la caja sí es cierto que me llamó la atención lo pequeña que es. En los vídeos y fotos que había visto no se apreciaba realmente su tamaño real, y sorprende una vez la tienes en la mano.
Eso sí, el tamaño de la consola te puede parecer muy pequeño, pero en cuanto la enchufas a la televisión pasa a parecerte lo más grande que hay. Es genial.
Tiene instalados 30 juegos, como ya sabréis. Para los verdaderamente jugones de la NES original en su momento (y que todavía lo somos a día de hoy) quizás el número de juegos pueda parecer algo escaso. Pero también es cierto que a día de hoy, si quieres jugar a un título en concreto tienes mil emuladores tanto en PC como para otro tipo de dispositivos. Esta consola va más allá de un dispositivo para jugar, es una mezcla de edición que tanto vale para tenerla una estantería de casa y mirarla cada vez que pasas cerca de ella, como para pasarte horas jugando.

En cuanto a la interpaz, nada que decir. Es sencilla. Te mueves de manera horizontal entre los diferentes títulos que trae la consola. Si subes te encuentras con un pequeño menú donde puedes configurar un par de cosas, y si bajas te encuentras con las partidas guardadas, ¡con las partidas guardadas!. Si, se pueden (y se deben) guardar partidas, algo que parece una tontería, pero no lo es.

Pues eso, que si no tienes una de estas, apura y cómprala.
