The Nintendo Entertainment System is the king of consoles. Many say it is the home console that started it all. While there were others before it, Nintendo took the NES and made it a household name. I used to have two, but sadly they got hijacked during a series of moves after high school. Still erks me. In the digital era we live in now it is pretty common place to have those old school NES titles on other high-end gadgets like our phones and tablets. As nostalgic as that might be, the controller is the real win of falling back to the glory days of Super Mario. So why not grab a redefined version that connects via Bluetooth or USB?
While it isn’t exactly the same thing., it is pretty close. At least it looks like an NES controller, just with a few extra buttons. It needs those extra buttons though, as much as I’d like a traditional A and B Bluetooth game controller, you would want to use it beyond just classic 8-bit gaming.
The NES30 brings in four buttons along with two shoulder buttons. It syncs up to your iOS or Android device through Bluetooth, but it can also connect to other devices, like your computer, with a USB cable. Listed battery life is pretty solid also coming in at 20+ hours.
