Controller variations

SNES Classic Controller

In 2017 Nintendo released replica of the original SNES Controller - SNES Classic Controller which is designed for use with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Super NES Classic Edition. It can also be plugged into a Wii Remote controller, so it's possible to use it with Virtual Console SNES games on Wii or Wii U console and works with their adapters.
Controller's cord is longer than NES Classic Controller - 1.5 m (5-foot).

SNES Controller for 'Nintendo Switch Online'

SNES controllers were released to support Nintendo Switch Online games.
Wireless connection with rechargeable battery.
Use the included USB A-C cable to connect to PC or charge the controller.
Controllers are supported on PC through reWASD application. See more.
