The NES Classic Edition doesn’t allow for native support with original NES controllers. However, Hyperkin is looking to solve that with a new accessory. Later this month, players will be able to use the NES controllers as well as joysticks with a 6-inch adapter. You’ll also be able to connect it to a Wii U or Wii.

The adapter doesn’t seem to have an exact release date yet. We do know though that it will be priced at $10.
