Some of the games needs a second player and it adds more to the fun! And it’s always good to have a backup controller.

Since the NES only comes with one controller buying an extra one is good when you have another player who wants to play.

Nothing like having an original licensed Nintendo product. Works just like the one that came with the classic edition.

It's an exact replica of the old school NES controller, except with a 3 ft cord. Works great, feels great, but would highly recommend buying the extension cord which is sold separately.

You must buy this to bring out the true potential of the NES system. They are, unfortunately, hard to find though.

Controllers look and feel like the old NES controllers of back in the day, only drawback is the length of the cord is criminally short. Extension cords are required purchase with these.

Nice official solution for the NES classic, cable is a bit short, so you'll need an extension.

This is simply the best controller for the NES Classic. Others feel cheap and lag. This is truly old school.
