This product can be bought at Amazon for $8.49 -> here is the link: Retrolink USB Super Nintendo SNES Classic Controller
I also bought a NES Retro Classic controller and a USB Link USB Retro Super Nintendo SNES Classic Controller (the product). I was comfortable with the NES controller quality and sadly disappointed by the SNES controller quality. Surprised
Cons:
(-) Dpad is far too stiff, it actually start my thumb to sore after about 15 minutes of casual games. It was also respond much less than a SNES controller: flexible enough to SF2 to do fireballs, but not enough to uppercut to do with any kind of consistency.
(-) The buttons feel important ” muddy “and not a good” spring back “to them at all. It is not easy to say, feel, if you press all the way down or do not have (such as a quality controller that a clear sense of when the button is pressed is full) are compared.
( -) Register the L and R buttons only button presses pushed to the outer edge and can hardly be on the inside edge, where it is convenient to keep them.
(-) The most important keys have been A sticker with the YXBA labels but the label is either not fit or was badly placed, or both surrounded. It looks cheap and terrible, with the edges stick out unevenly on different pages.
Pros:
(+) Long cord allows for easy connections, whether to a USB slot on the back of your computer or is the PS3 sitting in your entertainment center.
(+) Start / Rubber a nice thing for the replica accuracy.
Total:
While I would recommend to link the retro NES controller to friends, I would not recommend this controller to third. Unless you’re on a severe budget cuts and you will find the very cheap somewhere ($ 10 or less), skip this brand. Much better quality controller may, for the same price as had. The quality of the product (or lack thereof), it should half the current price or less.

Got it yesterday. It is a little rough edges and kind of ugly. The D-pad is stiff and the button and axis configuration is a little strange (axis 3 and 4 instead of 0 and 1, and the buttons are not in the same order as some other controllers.) In the games I’ve played, but it felt a lot better than trying to play with an analog stick. I’m not sure how well it would hold up long term.
For what it is, it should perhaps $ 7 instead of $ 19 were sold.
< , br / I> is a retro-zone controller would have wished, but then I was looking around him said they were sold out and I did not know how long I would have to wait. It seems they now have more, so the better option might be. It costs more, but it’s probably worth it.
Another option would have been better to forget about the classic SNES nostalgia and have got a Logitec precision for much less and it would be much higher been quality.
That being said, I could just continue with this controller and use it until it breaks – hopefully not too fast.

This controller would be but a few shortcomings that make just about unplayable on some games have been great.
First, this means that this is the L and R buttons is confused. The design is so much different than the OEM controller. The position of the electronic touch button under the plastic is such that it does not register most of the time. This games like Street Fighter II makes some unplayable and you piss off no end. They have on the L and R buttons on the outside very one click, which are completely unnatural to register for the handle taken.
Second, the arrow keys very notchy and again it makes games like Street Fighter II miss some moves.
Finally, the controller feels a lot cheaper than an original and the buttons a bit Rattle and the control is flex
< , br /> In summary, this controller would have been great, it had not been for these things. I can not recommend it. I will get allot more pay and buy a factory controller and a USB adapter, but it’s worth it. This will sell in a garage or something to go.
I must say I am very surprised at this company for the production of these controllers so poor. Your NES controller is perfect, but then again very simple this is, what should I stay with this company is to guess.

This product is double on Amazon so I have my review in both places, just in case. I assure you they are the same controller. Shop around, I think we can get it cheaper elsewhere on the Internet.
I shocked when I read the first review. But I think this controller is in order. I have some Super Smash TV played with him so far and the buttons seem to respond and said not to “muddy” as the previous reviewer. I’m just as bad in Super Smash TV, as I remember with my parents SNES. It is very easy and a bit hollow in comparison to the original, but it does not feel like it is going to break into my hands. I have two controllers, but one of them has a little “mushy” start button, but since it’s the start button, as I really do not stick to much about it every once in a while. Since I just got this product, I will comment in the Annex to this post, if I change my mind and it breaks or something.
EDITED 9/10/2009 Controllers are still holding strong, even after the game, many games of Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball and then angry and struck me the cheat a friend. . . Anyway, I found them using a few times a week, and I’m not super soft on anything, let alone gaming paraphernalia, I would say that these are pretty good quality. I will still keep you informed about their status in the future so it ends not with a dud.

Do not buy the world. I understand that is not Worldwide Distributors, the manufacturer of this game controller, but the game controller is not worth the amount of money that Worldwide Distributors is for them to ask. The game controller may appear as a Super NES controller, but the similarity ends there. The entire control is shaped by a low grade plastic and creates a lot of disturbing noises while you use it. Also, I must warn you that if you buy these inferior Controller Worldwide does not reimburse the full purchase price. Although this item was listed as free shipping worldwide distributors will be your purchase price of a flat rate deduction PAY TO SHIP Although you it back. Worldwide will also deduct five percent redemption fee. I am sure that the global distributors has no problem with any game controller and all these are returned, because even if you are still a winning return. Worldwide can easily charge you the highest costs and make profit there. Worldwide, you are dishonest and unprofessional.
