Item performs well on Wii/Wii U but is not compatible at the moment with NES classic. If you purchased the item, please contact the manufacturer who is making it right - once I have the new adapter I would rate this 4/5 Stars.

It's a great second control for the nes classic. It's not the best option for all the games but a must have if you want'a slow or speed up certain games

This did not work on either side of my new Nes Classic. I waited in line for 2 hrs and Best Buy let multiple customers buy 2 extra controllers and excesories and I got the last joy stick and didn't work when I got home.

As everyone else stated, did not work. Buttons do not respond at all. Only light up, that's it. Got an email that there's a software issue, apparently fixed. I did not try the new revision.

I bought this item, and it does not do nothing. The instructions says plug and play, after looking for reviews on the internet i found out that this was a factory error.

This controller makes using the system easier. The raoid button is good for the younger generation.

This controller tries to get by on its vintage looks but the joystick is very sloppy and the buttons feel soft when pressed
