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.

    Must have if you purchase this mini console. Many games can be played in two player mode so you need to purchase a second controller.

    Bought the controller to add an additional controller for my Nintendo system. Nothing really special about it. It took me awhile to find one since it’s always sold out wherever I go to Best Buy. Just happy to find one in the wild.

    My boys already love the NES system. By having this controller they have the chance to play some of the two players games. They love it and they stay occupied for hours.

    This is a good controller. It’s just as responsive as the original nes controller. They only thing I find to be different is the a an b buttons are not concave dad much a the original. This may not matter to someone who hasn’t played an nes it 30 years.

    I was very happy to finally get an extra controller. I was unhappy to find that I could not choose pick up in store for shipping as this created a 50% increase in price.

    As I warped back to the late 80's, my DeLorean broke down and I had to turn around. I ended up finding this NES controller and all is well with the world again.

    This is nostalgia for days. I wish they were able to license some more games, but it’s got a lot of the classics. Worth every penny if you had one way back when.

    However, the cord is way too short, I wish nintendo could have fixed this and made it a little longer. this item is guaranteed to give you nintendo thumbs just like it did when you were younger.

    Good to have second controller. Just wish the cord was longer so your not 3 feet in front of the screen. (Need to purchase an extension cord. It’s not like your spending enough $$ already)

    Got this for my grandsons to play with like their Dad played with the original. It brought memories even for me. But I think my Son has taken it over.

    Just what we needed, not sure why Nintendo only included a single controller. Luckily Best Buy online had them for in-store delivery. These are so hard to find.

    I bought this for my wife to relive some of her days playing Pac Man and Donkey Kong. It was fun sharing the games with our daughter, too.

    A second controller is great to have in order to play two player games on the NES Classic. This controller is identical to the one included with the console.

    I’m not (a)(n)(a)(l) about everything, but it is nice to have an authentic part to go with my system. The aftermarket controllers just don’t seem as nice.

    Bought this as an additional controller for the Nintendo NES system. Just as pictured and fits with the system so each player can have their own controller.

    Would've preferred that the stock controllers were wireless, but in spite of that this is a necessary purchase to pair up with the stock controller. I later purchased wireless controllers that are my preferred way to use the console.

    Absolutely worth the buy in every way because the controller has so many benefits for reliving the past times in gaming!
