So my fiancée had been bit by the nostalgia bug, and being the console gamer she is, she has been hoping to get a NES for some time now. After perusing around different sites and sellers that would work for our current setup, I stumbled across this little baby. I can tell the seller takes pride in the products he sells because this thing works better than the day it rolled off the factory floor! The console came with a replacement/non-oem Nintendo controller with an extra-long, 3.5 meter cable (I also ordered an extra one by itself as this particular package only came with one controller, as well as nes controller extension cables). Functionally-speaking, it works without problem, and with the disabled lock-out chip, that means the console also accepts imports carts, and game carts not directly certified by nintendo (homebrew and otherwise). Now, Asthetically-speaking: the console is in pretty decent shape for its age. There are some scratches, but that's expected for a 30+ year-old console. I am most certainly not complaining about that. Controller ports: I noticed that the controller port 1 lacked any "snap" sound/feel notifying that the controller had been plugged in. The same cannot be said for controller port 2, so I can tell that this console was historically played by a single person. Otherwise, this was a great deal, and I can definitely tell that the seller/refurbisher is a passionate gamer.Vollständige Rezension lesen

This is a Nintendo NES, it is a five star product if you have nostalgia about it. But being objective, it arrived as advertised, with all the parts, games and peripherals, everything in a working condition, except for the controller that has a minor responsiveness issue, this is a 37 years old console, keep that in mind. It came with the RCA cable, and the original antenna cable, which funny enough helped me to connect the NES to a fairly newest TV that has no RCA inputs in it, only HDMI, USB, Digital Audio, etc, but it still has the antenna input, so the oldest way to connect the console still is the most reliable for modern TV sets. Now the blinking part, this NES was advertised as Tested, and when I tested the first game it blinked, so I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol (didn't blow it... sorry guys XD) inserted the cartridge again and presto, it worked. Again, remember this is an old piece of hardware resilient enough to endure 37 years, but with characteristics of the technology its time. I also disassembled the NES, gave it a rapid clean and refurbished the 72pin connector just to be on the safe side. It might sound like a super technical procedure, but youtube can guide you if you have the patience. In general, the product was great, came complete, functional and the price was fair.Vollständige Rezension lesen

If you want to reexperience the golden age of console gaming, then the Nintendo Entertainment System is the way to go. Since no new games for the console are being manufactured due to the obvious age of the system, selection is limited. However, that does not mean that good games still cannot be found. If you're like me, and not only want to relive a part of your childhood, but also finally get to play those games that were hard to find or your parents weren't able to get for you, then you won't be sorry. Games are relatively easy to find via the wonders of the internet. It's also been a perfect way to introduce my children to gaming, as many games for the platform are simple to grasp and don't have overly complicated control schemes. You won't find HD graphics, cinematic cutscenes, or ground-breaking AI, but you will find many timeless classics. In short, don't accept any emulations/substitutions - get the full experience (including blowing out those cartridges before playing them!) You won't be sorry.Vollständige Rezension lesen
System looks good, everything described was included. However, the AC adapters which originally came with the product were not included. Not a big deal, but not quite a full set. Solid 4/5 stars.

I'm a lifelong gamer, heck I pre date the NES, I'm talking Coleco and Odyssey times. I've noticed over the years games have gotten progressively easier and easier, giving kids an inflated ego over their imaginary skills. I'm no soapbox stander yelling for less video game violence or anything but I just ran the new COD and I got tagged by a M60 about 3 times, hid behind a box, regained all my health, popped up and shot down a Harrier with a grenade launcher. Man Rambo ain't got SQUAT on me! I make my son play NES, he really loves it anyways, but I want him to play it to learn you don't win every fight. You don't recover from every wound. To learn a lot of times ONE bullet can end the game. That's what I love about the NES, it doesn't give you any "easy" mode, and it doesn't adjust to how terrible you're playing. Everyone's equal on the NES, there truly are some games I wonder if anyone has ever seen the end of. In the end though there just ain’t much like popping in Arkanoid, Zelda, or heck even old schooler Pro Wrestling, and jamming for a little bit, it just feels so pure.Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is hands-down like a brand new NES! The games that came with are like brand new too! I am very excited to have it and better than I expected!

Growing up with the SNES, I never had an NES. Getting one now though is not a regrettable decision. The games for it have been re-released on so many other systems, that you don't really need one for the games. The experience is something that has never been replicated though. There's just something about playing these games the original way they were intended. It's nostalgic of the times I played it at friend's houses. For any video game collectors or anyone that appreciates retro gaming, I highly recommend this piece of critical video game history.

The NES is a classic system. It holds some of gamings most important triumphs, with franchises that have started and continued to this day. The NES was the one that started it all, and throughout Nintendo’s history in gaming, has always been recognized as the one that saved the home video game market and changed the world of gaming forever!

This is exactly what I expect a new Nintendo system to look and work like...in 1985! I'm impressed with how well maintained this system looks, and the new 72-pins means that the games boot on the 1st try! If you are looking for a nostalgia trip or are just into retro gaming I recommend this system, it was the Hallmark of gaming in the mid 80's and also single-handedly brought the video game industry back from the great crash of 1983. There's a reason why Nintendo is still around today, and this is the Genesis (pun intended) of their legacy! #pixellife

Having a bit of trouble getting games to play without doing all the old tricks. I was hoping since it has a new pin block in it that it would work better. Packed perfectly! Would buy from again!
