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.

    This is a must have if you want to play NES with a friend. It should come with the system. You will also need to purchase an extender to give yourself more than 2 feet of cord length.

    As expected from Nintendo, great quality. Feels just like the original. Do wish the cord was longer though. With as big as TVs are now it's hard to play just a few feet from the tv.

    One of the all time best controller designs! Simple and responsive! So much fun. Only wish the cord was longer and that it was usb or Bluetooth for use on other systems too.

    I just had to buy an extra controller for all the multiple player games the nes Classic had & this controller definitely feels nice. Only problem is the very short cord.

    Same feel as the original once it is broken in. It works perfect. It does need an extender though.

    It has been difficult to get the authentic / genuine controller for NES Classic. Despite the short cord, it's definitely worth the $9.99 price. Nearly all of the components can be swapped with a real NES controller to basically make a functional controller that looks like it's brand new! I plan to buy more to refurbish 30-year-old NES controllers. Don't buy the counterfeit junk controllers out there.

    This is an exact copy of the original NES controller that you can use both for the NES classic and if you have a Wii or a Wii U to play any classic games that you want! Don't settle for 3rd party controllers that break quickly or just don't feel right, this is straight from Nintendo and is the best way to recreate that retro feel that you remember so well. If you are going to get a classic controller, get this one!

    It’s the nes classic controller. What more needs to be said? I have so many wonderful childhood memories with this in hand. It’s basically the controller design that started it all and still feels right even 30 years later. Works great, cord length is a little short but pick up an extender cable it’s well worth it. Awesome price! A must have for all those 2 player nes gaming gems on the classic edition.

    Works as intended, but the only downside is the cord length. It looks great, but it's tough to get far from the console without dragging it.
