Nintendo NES Classic Edition Entertainment System

Amazing that I can get 30 games for a little over the cost of 1 game in the 1980's (and that doesn't account for inflation!). The unit comes with 1 controller, and if you've read the online reviews, you know the controller cable is too short. Living rooms today aren't like living rooms of the 1980's, to avoid a "midpoint" stand for the Nintendo Classic I highly suggest ordering an extension cable just so the cables are not hanging in mid-air. The unit itself does come with a wall-supply, but with the micro-USB power, you can actually power it directly from your TV's USB port or in my case I use a USB port from my Xbox One. I love this feature! The controller feels totally authentic. One issue I had when using it was that I thought the controller was "laggy". It turns out that modern flat-panel TV's are laggy, not the controller. You have to go into your TV settings and change it from "standard" or "movie" to "game mode". I'm sure the gamers out there know this already. If you are getting this for a blast of 80's nostalgia, make sure you switch your TV or otherwise games will be unplayable. Other than that, this is the real deal - totally authentic. Plus - you can save "state" in the game at any point. Want to beat Gannon in Legend of Zelda? You can actually save your state right before you get to him. If the fight is going well, save the state again! Start losing? Just load the state from when you were doing well. The entire menu system is very well done and quite intuitive. I'm sure there are dozens of games we all wish were included that were not. I won't really knock the system for not including every variant of game we can imagine. However, I was disappointed to find Tetris was not included. And the architecture of the box doesn't allow any sort of upgrades (unless that USB port isn't only for power?). Overall, it's a really fun box for $60. Why 4 stars? Well, you will want a 2nd controller to play with a friend. So throw in another $10 for that. Then both controllers will be too short, so you'll need $20 in extension cables. Taxes and shipping, this will really be over $100 just buying it all retail. I would have preferred a slightly more expensive box that included the controllers and proper length cables. I'm also a bit disappointed there can't be more games for this platform when they clearly could have designed that feature in there. But do I recommend you buy it? In a minute - it's so much fun. But just spend $60 - don't pay these crazy prices. It will come into stock eventually and you will be able to get it for $60

Everything was perfect for the first 5 minutes, and then the game began to continually shutdown about 3 seconds after being powered on or reset. Replaced the adapter with an iPhone adapter...so far, no more power issues. Works great now.

THe NIntendo NES arrived, it was a european version we determined based upon the German packaging. The power supply that was provided with the system would not power the NES correctly, luckily we had another power supply that worked. Looking at what it is I would suggest you wait for the inventory to come back and purchase at a normal price.

The product arrived but it turned off/on sporadically and then just quit-would not turn on. Altatac did not respond to emails or phone calls. I have reported issue to Walmart so we'll see if I can get a refund. The official policy says the return must be made through vendor. I don't shop at Walmart often but this transaction may drive me away entirely.

I received my classic game excited only to find out it does not work! I hooked up the game and I was ready to play. I push the power button the red light came on but just a few seconds later it cuts off! I called Walmart to get a replacement or my money back. I was told that they get the Nes Classic from a vender named Altatac. They will not answer the phone only to ask you to leave a message but yet you can't leave a message. The other option is to email them. I have and I am now eating on a response. At this point I just want my money back. I am sure this will not be resolved until the new year because everything is about money! No one cares about the consumer anymore!

The one I bought was not sold by Walmart. It was sold by ALTATEC on the Walmart.com website and they charged 264.95. It is defective and I have trouble returning it. Walmart won't take it back, and ALTAEC won't answer their phones. Don't buy it, if it is not sold by Walmart.

I purchased this console for $259 (almost 3 times the actual cost) as a gift for my son and he was very excited about it. Unfortunately, after trying to connect this to three tv's, three HDMI's cords, and several inputs on the tv's I was unable to get this console to work. I have contacted Altatac by email, as I can find no contact number and they replied saying that they are extremely busy at this time. I'm not very impressed with this product that was $259. Possibly, if it was $80 I could be a slight bit more patient.

Plugged it in and started to play. After my second guy died, the screen went black. The game and controller were clearly still going, but there was nothing to see on the screen. Did some on-line chatting with Nintendo and they sent us a pre-paid label so that we could send it in to be repaired/replaced. Hopefully, they can fix the problem.

I got system the other day and have to return it because it didn t work. Wish i had known they were having problems with it before i ordered it.

I'd love to be able rate this product, but it didn't work. Waiting on information to return/exchange it. Very disappointing.
