The mini-console looks like the initial NES console, which was released 3 decades back. NES Classic Edition gives good sound emulation, HD resolution over HDMI cable and good video output, unlike other cheap plug-and-play consoles. The device has two ports namely HDMI port and micro-USB port to get power input. The console is booting up pretty quick and easy to use menu, with the 30 games list, and additional information about the games are available on select.

The display and color resolution of NES Classic Edition is excellent while comparing with other plug-and-play consoles. Also, users can set the pixel according to choice by selecting "pixel perfect". The most disappointing aspect about the mini-console is the length of the controller's cable. It is less than 2.5 ft. long and hence the gamers have to sit close to the TV to play the game.

Interestingly, NES Classic Edition price is $59.99 which is a reasonable price for the device considering what it offers. People who are concerned with high priced devices will find NES Classic Edition price a grace. This could be the reason, why the product is sold out in Amazon and Walmart, and selling out from other retailers. All the official retailers listed in Nintendo website show that the product is out of stock for them.
