You have a lot of choices for USB controllers to use with the Raspberry Pi. You can probably find one you like. For example, this is a pretty good one that feels similar to an old SNES controller:

If you get an original NES, you can largely fix the blinking screen problem by taking out the NES's connector and boiling it in a pot of water (yes, really). And you can clean the connectors on the games themselves with q-tips and rubbing alcohol or Windex.

I highly suggest 8BitDo's offerings for a close to authentic experience. I have one that looks like an SNES..well Super Famicom controller but with analog sticks and shoulder buttons.



They're Bluetooth too. Even better, 8BitDo sells a Bluetooth adapter for the NES and SNES classic if you want a simple plug and play experience.


What about actual consoles, hah, too easy. 8BitDo makes Bluetooth adapters for classic game consoles too.

No, they didn't give me any money I just like their stuff.
