NES Classic to receive new accessory
According to recent reports, the NES Classic is going to receive a new accessory that will solve its biggest and only problem: a short controller wire. Announced during the CES event in Las Vegas, new accessories for the NES will be including a power adaptor to go along with a Nintendo Classic Mini controller extension cable.
These accessories will make gaming on the NES Classic much, much easier.
About the accessory
The extension cable, developed and produced by Snakebyte, means that players won't have to be sitting too close to the TV when they are playing the console, which was a major complaint before of those lucky enough to acquire the system. The power adaptor receives the USB cord from the console so you are able to draw power from any outlet that you want.
