SAVE $18: Play enhanced NES games on your Nintendo Switch with these retro NES controllers. Nintendo Switch Online members can score $18 off.


It’s an exciting time for gaming. Next-gen consoles are now current-gen, new games are being released at a fast pace, and everything that comes out seems to push the boundaries of what games can do. But what about our innate thirst for nostalgia? That’s at least one thing that newer games will struggle to quench.

If lockdown has had you yearning for old memories, playing retro video games may just be that hit of nostalgia you need to get by. Nintendo Switch owners with an Online membership can get these retro NES controllers for $18 off — playing enhanced NES classics feels so much better when you have the authentic gear to go along with it. 

While these NES controllers aren’t compatible with more popular Switch titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, that’s not really where they shine anyway. These full-sized replica remotes are at their best when you’re hopping into an iconic NES game either solo, with a friend, or online. When you’re not using them, they can simply charge by attaching them to your Switch console as you would with regular Joy-Con controllers. 

Transport yourself back to your NES days. If you’re a Nintendo Switch Online member, save $18 on these twin NES controllers.
