NES SWITCH

Since the initial Direct reveal, more information about the $59.99 wireless NES controller pack for the Switch has been discovered. Once again, the news is sourced from fine print located on Nintendo's official website.

What about the compatibility of these controllers - are you disappointed with the NES game only restriction, or do you think Nintendo has made a logical decision? Could a future patch perhaps change this?
