Features HOME button for easy access to game selection menu directly from your controller!Wireless controller allows for comfortable play on the SNES & NES Classic Edition consoles.Over 75 hours of playtime on 2 AAA batteries (not included).Ergonomically designed for better grip and control and allows for play from up to 30 feet away without lag or disconnection.Can be used with Wii and Wii U as an optional classic controller (only with supported games).
I bought this:

And it works with retroArch, but the shoulder buttons don't seem to be working in games like Mario Cart. Any ideas?
Interested in cheap? I am. Some of the cheap ones for the NESC had lots of wireless disconnection complaints. The My Arcade GamePad did not so I got it. It's been really reliable so I'm happy with it. They make a fairly cheap My Arcade GamePad Pro version with buttons that should work on the SNESC (I think/hope). So I'll probably end up with one or two of them. The controller look and shape is completely unauthentic, but cheap will probably win for me...
Looking at Amazon they do already have several products like controllers out there, so I don't doubt they will release this. Then again, judging only by Amazon reviews for their NES GamePad Pro the reactions are very mixed.
I've got My Arcade's 2 button and 4 button NES Classic controllers. Both work really well. Hopefully this one will too. On the 4 button, everything is mapped the same as a Wii Classic Controller.

I never tried it but I heard it's good
whats the difference between this

and
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M34DLXD ???
And why would you need an extension cord if they are wireless like this

I have not tried with a classic controller as I cant locate mine. I am playing SNES games (only games I care about) with a My Arcade Gamepad Pro.

Pi with a good wireless NES controller works great. If you can find an NES Classic (they are gonna be released again this year) you can get a wireless controller that is very close to an NES controller, of an extension cord for the included controller (you will need one, the cords are VERY short).
If you want to got he cartridge route, you can get an NES and the carts, and there are 3rd party NES systems too, but the carts might be hard to find.
I'd go with the NES classic along with a wireless controller or the extension cord. It looks like an (small) NES and works great. I have one with both an extension cord for the original controller and a wireless controller, and have had no issues.

I think both work great!
