Our take on the Original NES System Video Game Console

The Nintendo Entertainment System is the 1985 console that revived the US game market. It is a front-loading gray box with two controller ports, a cartridge slot and composite output, and it runs the 8-bit library that defined series like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and Metroid. It suits collectors and players who want the original hardware, not a modern mini console. Against later consoles it is slow and limited, and against the NES Classic it lacks HDMI and save states, but it plays the real cartridges those plug-and-play units cannot.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the NES as a piece of history and a working machine. They praise the library and the feel of the original hardware, and complain about the cartridge connector and the blurry composite picture on modern TVs.

What people mention
  • Cartridge slotCriticisedOwners report blinking screens and games that need reseating or a cleaned connector.
  • Game libraryPraisedThe 8-bit catalog of Mario, Zelda and Metroid is the main reason people keep one.
  • Video outputCriticisedComposite output looks soft and noisy on modern TVs, so many use a CRT or an upscaler.
  • BuildPraisedThe console feels solid and the two controller ports make local multiplayer easy.
  • Ageing hardwareMixedWorking units are reliable but decades old, and capacitors and connectors can need service.

Questions and answers

Does it work with modern TVs?
It outputs composite video through the original cables. Many modern TVs lack that input or show a soft picture, so a CRT or an upscaler gives better results.
Does it come with a game?
The console was sold with a pack-in game in some bundles, but a used unit may not include one. Check what the seller lists before buying.
How is it different from the NES Classic?
The NES Classic is a small plug-and-play unit with HDMI and built-in games. This original console plays real cartridges but has no HDMI and no save states.
What controllers does it use?
It uses the original NES controllers with their rectangular pad and two buttons, plugged into the front ports. Modern controllers need an adapter.
Is it worth buying over an emulator?
Buy it if you want the original hardware and cartridges. An emulator or the NES Classic is simpler and cheaper for casual play.
What should I check on a used unit?
Test that games load without blinking, that both controller ports work and that the power supply is included. A cleaned or replaced cartridge connector helps.
Where is the Original NES System Video Game Console cheapest?
At Walmart, for $109.99, as of our latest check.
