Nintendo is launching official NES controllers for Switch
Nintendo has announced that it's bringing an updated version of its classic NES controller to Switch soon.
The new design isn't quite the same as the iconic original, however: as revealed in today's Nintendo Direct, the revamped controllers will function wirelessly and can be recharged by attaching them to a docked Switch console - which does, unfortunately, mean that they sport that slightly unsightly connection strip seen on the regular Joy-Cons.
Nintendo says the new controllers are designed to offer a more authentic experience when playing the library of NES titles that will be available to subscribers of its new online service. As previously announced, 20 NES games will be accessible at launch - including Super Mario Bros 3, The Legend of Zelda, Ice Hockey, and Pro Wrestling - with more added regularly.
