Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2016
The ugly: Does not work as advertised with NES Classic Mini. Most unlicensed 3rd party Wii Classic Controllers don't work either.
I suspect this being an unlicensed accessory, Emio did not have access to NES Mini during testing phase so they likely tested this with Wiimotes only and assumed it would work. Most unlicensed Classic Controllers fail on the NES Mini. That said, the build quality of this stick is incredible. I hope Emio can get this fixed and rerelease it but I'm afraid their reputation is irreparably tarnished by now.
The good: Excellent controller for VC games on Wii/Wii-U. Real arcade quality microswitch parts inside, which can easily be modded or upgraded. Not mushy feeling controls like the original NES Advantage which used silicone membranes
