The overall reception to the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition has been very positive. However, there has been one concern: the controllers.

The NES Classic Edition does indeed feature wired controllers, and the length seems to be a bit on the stingy side. USGamer heard from Nintendo representatives during a hands-on session that the cord is around three feet in length. That means you probably won’t be able to stray too far away from your television while playing.
