The manufacturer lists several PlayStation, Nintendo and 8BitDo controller models, with 2.4G controllers excluded. Choose this receiver for original NES hardware, not the differently connected NES Classic Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the NES and change the controller connection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original NES has a distinctive controller connection, and this receiver is made to bring supported wireless gamepads to that hardware. It is useful when you want to keep playing original console games while choosing a compatible controller that feels comfortable in your hands. The manufacturer lists support for its Bluetooth Classic controllers and arcade sticks, excluding 2.4G models. Check the exact version before buying, because a familiar controller name can refer to more than one wireless technology or edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoose from the documented controller list\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eController compatibility is more specific than simply having Bluetooth. The manufacturer lists DualShock 3, DualShock 4, Switch Pro, Joy-Con, Wii Remote and Wii U Pro among the supported choices for this receiver. Follow the current pairing instructions for the model you intend to use, and avoid assuming newer controller families are automatically supported. The receiver does not add features to the NES game itself; it provides the connection between the original console and a controller the adapter knows how to recognize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:story --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-story\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlan each player and the correct NES version\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer describes using two Retro Receivers for multiplayer games, making a second receiver a separate planning consideration for two wireless players. You also need a supported controller for each player and software with the appropriate multiplayer mode. This model is identified specifically for the original NES console. The NES Classic Edition uses a different connection and should not be treated as interchangeable. Confirm the console hardware first, then build the receiver and controller combination around the games you want to share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c!-- rgm:details --\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-facts\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct facts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8BitDo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eManufacturer SKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83AA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTarget hardware\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOriginal NES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eController technology\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Bluetooth controllers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003e8BitDo compatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBluetooth Classic controllers and arcade sticks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eExcluded controller type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8BitDo 2.4G controllers\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMultiplayer arrangement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTwo receivers supported for multiplayer games\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection class=\"rgm-v2-faq\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill it work with NES Classic Edition?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis selected receiver is for the original NES.
