Insignia 6' Controller Extension Cable for NES Classic

Q: I’m curious but I’m assuming is compatible. Will this work with the SNES classic controller ?

A: Yes. Works just fine. Just purchase and try it myself.

Q: The plastic clip on the plug that blocks controller port two appears to be attached with a couple of phillips head screws. Can the plastic clip be unscrewed and removed to permit two extension cables to be plugged into the system?

A: Yes. Just unscrew them, remove the piece and screw the 2 screws back down. Now you can use 2 of here.

Q: Can my "OLD" edition controller, work with the "extension" or do I need another controller? The ends are not the same in either case.

A: nope. the old edition (circa 1980's) will not work. only the nes classic controller and some of the wii classic controllers will work. that being said, there is an adapter on amazon that allows you to use the old edition controllers w/ the nes classic, but that adapter is wireless and wireless nes classic controller = delayed response time = certain death in super mario bros

Q: Are are the ends called? Examples: Optical, VGA, S-Video.

A: None of the above. They are nes classic cable ends.

Q: If you get two of these can you connect them together to make the cable even longer?

A: Yes, I tried to connect two together and it works perfect. It's nice because two give you 14+ feet of distance.

Q: Why is the clear plastic piece there in the first place?

A: The plastic piece is there in order to tuck the controller wristlet away. It can be removed with a small screwdriver.

Q: Is this compatible for the nes classic edition that just released on 11-11-16

A: Yes

Q: The product is called "6" Controller Extension Cable..." and the pic looks like opposite ends of the same cable. Will I need to buy 2 extension cables to cover both controllers? Or should 1 purchase by itself, cover both controllers? Thanks.

A: NES classic only comes with one controller. There is only one extension cable in the box.

Durable cable, worth it
Cable works as expected and is the advertised length. One thing to note. The base of this cable that plugs into nes has a clear plastic cover as shown in the attached picture. This makes the plug wider than the standard controller and makes it impossible to plug in a second controller. It does have two screws so you can likely take it off with effort. I'm not sure why it's included as it serves no obvious purpose. In my case I only intend to use one controller so it is fine.

6' Controller Extension Cable For Nes Classic
This is a must have,makes your controller 8' long! Since the original controller that comes with the NES SYSTEM is only 2' feet long,

Clearly not tested on product designed for.
Best Buy (insignia) must have had a ton of spare Wii nunchuck connector parts laying around with which they decided to repurpose for these extension cables. Here's why. The clear plastic loop on the connector used originally to fasten the wrist strap to was left on the male end of the extension cord. This is a problem because not only do we not need a wrist strap on the end that plugs into the Classic NES, or anywhere on the extension cable for that matter. But the clear plastic loop actually totally blocks the 2nd player controller female port on the Classic NES console. Terrible design. Essentially, if you only want to play alone, buy this extension cord. And only buy one of these because you will not need a second as it will be rendered useless by the first. Since discovering this, I have realized that many manufacturers on extension cables for this system have made the same grave error. I found one of the Rain Forest retailer's site. Take a look for yourself.
