Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the positive aspects of the NES Classic Edition controller, including its faithful recreation of the original design and feel, excellent compatibility with the system, and high-quality construction. Many appreciate its functionality for multiplayer gaming, making it ideal for two-player experiences. However, a common complaint centers around the short cord length. A few users also noted occasional lag, and some perceived the controller as slightly smaller than the original.

    It feels like the original NES controller. It also works with the wii remote controller since the connector is the same so you can play your virtual console NES games on wii and wii u using this as well.

    Glad that I was able to pick one of these up as the console only came with one controller included. Wires are a bit short though.

    If you buy the small NES, it only comes with 1 controller so you' do need this if you would like to play any 2 player games.

    The controller has the same look and feel of the original. A great price and even cheaper than most third party controllers.

    The game system only came with one controller. You should buy the extension cords too because it’s as long as your big toe.

    Yes, the cables are short, but that's the great feeling about classic systems. It feels like 1993 using these controllers.

    The second controller is absolutely needed when wanting to play 2 players on a lot of games. Just like the original controller from the 80's!

    Not a bad idea to have an extra one around when you need to play game with 2 people. Not an expensive accessory, so why not?

    This is a must have accessory for the NES classic. Obviously the cord is short. Don't know what's up with that, but the available extenders fix that issue. Other than that the controlee is perfect.

    Great to add to your collection. Always hard to find, don’t miss the opportunity if you see it available. Only CON is the cable is too short, same length as the one that comes with the console.

    This should have been included with the console, I would have paid the extra $10. Works as it should with the NES Classic.
