You plug this small adapter straight into the original NES controller port or compatible systems like the Analogue Nt and suddenly any supported Bluetooth controller works without wires. Gamers enjoy smooth sessions because the connection stays responsive and reliable across the room.
You gain access to a wide selection of modern controllers that feel comfortable during long playthroughs. Pair your favorite DualShock 4, Switch Pro, Wii U Pro or even Joy-Con and enjoy the familiar feel of modern hardware while playing old favorites. The benefit shows up right away as your hands stay relaxed and you move more freely without cables getting in the way.
Multiplayer becomes simple and fun with this adapter. Connect two Retro Receivers at the same time so friends can join using their own controllers without any hassle or extra hardware. Everyone experiences the same smooth input which keeps the game fair and exciting for the whole group.

Reviews
I love how this wireless adapter makes my old NES feel fresh again. Pairing my Switch Pro controller took seconds and the connection stays solid even when I sit back on the couch. Playing Mario games without any cords tangling up is pure joy.
My friends and I had a great time using two receivers for multiplayer nights. The lag feels almost nonexistent and Wii U Pro controllers work smoothly. One small thing is that setup needs a quick button press each time but overall it transforms retro gaming.
Plugging this into my original NES opened up so many controller options right away. DualShock 4 feels comfortable for longer sessions and everything stays responsive. I wish the range went a bit farther but for normal play it works wonderfully.
