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.

Controller variations

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).

Use with PC platforms

XInput wrapping

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