When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on either Wii U or Wii. Note that the NES Classic Edition has multiple suspend points for each game.

I don’t know about all of you but I will be picking one of these up on launch day! I already have all of these original cartridges and the original NES but this little guy will be a great addition to my collection!
