In addition to the games, the SNES Classic improves on its predecessor in another major department: the controller. First, Nintendo has included two SNES controllers as opposed to the single one that came with the NES. Even better, they've lengthened the wires from an almost unusable three feet (about a meter) to a more forgiving 4.5-foot cord (1.4 meters). Ideally we'd like something in the 6-foot (2 meter) range, but this is certainly an improvement.
