Great controller, short cord

Controller is great at recreating the feel of old school Nintendo controllers. Except I'm not 8 years old anymore and don't need to sit 3 feet from the TV. Cord needed to be longer or just wireless.

This is a great option for an additional controller for the Nintendo classic. It is very reasonably priced. The only drawback is that you are limited by the need to plug it in to the device and have to stay close.

A Must Buy

The system only comes with one controller for some reason. Be sure and buy the extension too, because the cord for this is maybe a foot long. Don't know what they were thinking.

than the console itself.... That being said, if you can find one for MSRP ($10), then pick it up. Totally worth the price and reminds me of exactly the original as I remember it.

the cable on this controller is just too short!!! I wish bestbuy would sell an extension cable. preferably one that's 6ft and one that's only 9.99. Maybe one that's an insignia brand or something. no wonder nintendo's losing the console war...

It sounds like the cable length will be 3ft or less. You may wish to consider a Wii classic controller or classic controller pro.

This controller, at least mine, has a lot of lag. It makes it challenging and frustrating to play.
