" ... I have waited almost 2 years to buy this at a reasonable price. ... "
" ... Waited two years to get one at near original price. ... "
" ... Purchased this for the reasonable price of $59.99. ... "
" ... I would say, do not spend more than the 60 USD it costs for these devices they aren't worth more than the 60 USD. ... "

" ... Cables are all too short unless you like playing 4 feet from your tv. ... "
" ... Mine came with no power supply, just a micro usb cable. ... I tried using a 10' extension cord and it would not work. ... "
" ... its everything it can be, the only gripe is with Nintendo and WHY they chose to make the controller cord so short when we're ALL used to wireless. ... "
" ... The controller cord is very short. ... "
" ... Be warned, it comes with one controller and the controller cords are super short. ... "

" ... There’s a good selection of games and it does come with an hdmi cable and a usb/power Block thing if your tv doesn’t have usb built in to power it. ... "
" ... Oh, and hooray for Nintendo + HDMI! ... "
" ... Definitely recommend getting extension cables or a wireless controller or converter. ... "
" ... I love that the USB port on my TV is capable of powering it. ... "
" ... Another neat perk: if your television has a USB port on it, it likely can power the NES as well, so no need to spend another wall outlet or power strip space for it. ... "
" ... Plus you have the ability to hook everything up through an HDMI cable, which actually scales very nicely to modern TVs, it doesn't look weird from a gaming standpoint to have a bunch of NES games playing on an HDTV. ... "
" ... I wish the controller cable was longer, but extensions and wireless controllers are available on Amazon. ... "
" ... Comes with power and HDMI cables. ... "
