Their big break came with the release of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in the 1980s, introducing characters like Mario. The '90s saw the launch of the Game Boy, a portable gaming revolution, and the Nintendo 64, which brought 3D gaming into the mainstream. The 2000s were marked by the innovative touch-screen DS and the motion-controlled Wii, expanding their audience. With each generation, Nintendo has reinvented gaming, staying at the forefront with beloved characters and inventive playstyles.

NES Controller

The NES controller is a gamepad designed for Nintendo Entertainment System with the revised model of the gamepad being rectangular with a nice depth and clickiness, wireless and specifically targeted for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers.

A Joy-Con-style rail is also available at the top of the gamepad that users can use for pairing and charging the gamepad by slotting the controller into the switch. This moved away from previous models for the NES and Famicom, which had a rectangular brick-like design with a four-button layout and used the cross-sectional joypad. The NES controller is now available only through Switch Online subscription, and you cannot play games not available under Nintendo titles.

The NES Controller has a height of 2.096” (53.2 mm), width of 4.86” (123.4 mm), depth of .6875” (17.5 mm), and approximate weight of 2.6 oz (.07 kg).
