Also known as NES Controller.

Key points

Requires adapter to connect to PC.
Lacks native XInput support, requiring the use of a XInput wrapper (see XInput wrappers) for games that do not support DirectInput or the controller natively.

Inputs

  • 6 × digital buttons: 𝐀, 𝐁, 𝐗, 𝐘, sᴛᴀʀᴛ, sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ
  • 4 × digital directional buttons (d-pad): , , ,
  • Microphone (Famicom Controller II version)

Controller variations

The original model Famicom features two game controllers, both of which are hardwired to the back of the console. The second controller, Famicom Controller II, lacks the sᴛᴀʀᴛ and sᴇʟᴇᴄᴛ buttons, but features a small microphone. The earliest produced Famicom units have square 𝐀 and 𝐁 buttons. This was changed to the circular designs because of the square buttons being caught in the controller casing when pressed down and glitches within the hardware causing the system to freeze occasionally while playing a game.
In 2016 Nintendo released replica of the original NES Controller - NES Classic Controller which is designed for use with the Nintendo Entertainment System - NES Classic Edition. It can also be plugged into a Wii Remote controller, so it's possible to use it with Virtual Console NES games on Wii or Wii U console and works with their adapters.
Controller's cord is short, only 0.91 m (3-foot).

Microphone support

Use with PC platforms

Windows

XInput wrapping

Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.

Hardware

Mayflash NES Controller Adapter

Connects NES or SNES controller.
Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.
Two players can play simultaneously.
Compatible with PS3 console.

USB NES RetroPort v2

Works with standard controllers (original, Max, dogbone) and now PowerGlove, PowerPad, and Vaus gamepads.
No drivers to install or update.

Bliss-Box Gamer-Pro

Directly compatible with PC. No driver needed, just plug and play.

Steam

Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.

Support In Games

Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.

Games with Nintendo button prompts

Total number of games:
Error 1140: In aggregated query without GROUP BY, expression #1 of SELECT list contains nonaggregated column 'pcgamingwiki_cargo.cargo__Input._pageID'; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by (mysql01.mysql.pcgamingwiki-14662257-production.svc.cluster.local)

Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT `cargo__Input`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Input`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID` AS `cargo_backlink_page_id_Infobox_game`,COUNT(*) FROM `cargo__Infobox_game` LEFT OUTER JOIN `cargo__Input` ON ((`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageName`=`cargo__Input`.`_pageName`)) WHERE `cargo__Input`.`_ID` IN (SELECT `_rowID` FROM `cargo__Input__Other_button_prompts` WHERE `_value`LIKE 'Nintendo') ORDER BY `cargo__Input`.`_pageID`,`cargo__Infobox_game`.`_pageID`,COUNT(*) LIMIT 100

.

The controller's button positions and colors, and the amount of buttons, differ considerably from those of other Nintendo controllers. As such, the list below should be treated with some caution.
Please note, that this is only list for games that offer Nintendo button prompts.
Some may require use of Switch Pro Controller emulation. Refer to game-specific articles for details.
