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.

    Just like the original controller. Rated 3 stars because the cords are so short. You need to buy an extension if you don’t want to sit 3’ from the TV set.

    I bought the control to my Nintendo, because the game only came with one, and now I can play with another person

    You need this for Nintendo Clasic as the game comes with only one controller and if you have company this would be necessary

    It's a little ridiculous that the NES Classic doesn't come with two controllers, but at least it's an easy thing to rectify.

    Great controller that feels just like the originals. Wish the cord was longer and that 2 would have been included with the classic

    Controller fits my hand pretty well. Really wish it was wireless or had a longer cable without having to be the extension.

    The NES classic only comes with one controller...you pretty much need this item. Can’t go wrong with first party hardware.

    After being grossly under produced in 2017 this Gem of a controller has finally been made available once more. Nostalgia!!!

    Although a lot of these games are one player, being able to play with someone else on the two player games are the best!!

    The mini nes only include one controller. If you wants to play with a second player you will need a second controller.

    A nice replica of the original NES controller but a bit short unlike Duncan's joke at the campfire from Prince of Thieves.

    Even in 2018, 3rd party peripherals are horrid in quality compared to 1st party. Glad these got another production run.

    After I was able to find the retro Nintendo I found it only had one controller. So glad I found this reasonable priced.

    Of course the controllers are necessary to play the game, but the cords are extremely short. Make sure to order the controller extension cords.
