The NES Classic Edition Gets A Wireless Controller Thanks To Nyko!

Briefly: We’re so freaking excited to get our hands on the NES Classic Edition. Josh has already gone hands on with this Holiday season’s hottest new console (and loved it, naturally), while the rest of us peasants will need to get in line on November 11th to pick one up.

One of the only complaints that we’ve been (constantly) reading about the Classic is its lack of wireless controllers. Sure, it’s more authentic with wires, and probably (definitely) keeps the cost of the thing down, but we’ve been spoiled by wireless controllers for years and we want them here too, damnit.

Thankfully, Nyko has the answer with the Minibus for NES Classic Edition. The controller comes in at a cool $19.99USD (compared to $9.99 for its Nintendo brethren), and brings with it the space-aged ability to play up to 30 feet away from the console.

If the $19.99 is a little rich for your blood, $9.99 will net you the Extend Link for NES Classic Edition, which is a simple extension cord that adds 6 feet to your existing NES Classic edition controllers.

Both items will be available alongside the NES Classic Edition when it launches on November 11th, and… November 11th simply can’t come soon enough.
