Ordered these the other day and thought was a great deal. Wanted extension cables for my Mini SNES Classic, considering a twin pack of 10ft is £4.99 (6ft £3.99) the current offer at Amazon on the two controllers for £5.99 with the cheapest item free is a bargain.
Admittedly the controllers get mixed reviews, and with possible good reason, I took them apart yesterday and found one of them had a stray wire strand flaking away from where it had been soldered touching another point which would have caused control issues....easily resolved but certainly worth taking them apart to check (just 4 screws underneath, a 5th holding the PCB board internally)
Once checked over however, the controllers are built pretty well.

Heated, great deal, especially as you can easily borrow the extension cables for the SNES mini controllers too, or have a nunchuk miles away from a wii remote if you wanted to for some reason...

Exactly, it was going to cost nearly as much to buy just the extension cables so for me, or anyone else that has prime it is a no brainer of a deal.
Would still crack open the controllers just to check the wiring, they are not badly built by any means but soldering certainly was not the best in mine.

Is the NES the same connection as the SNES?

With the Mini Versions, yes.

Do these only work with the SNES mini?

They use a Wii connector so will work with Wii and Wii U as well as NES and SNES classic consoles.

I only see a 1-pack controller at the link. Looks like this deal has finished?

No deal for controllers, only for extension? Guess deal is dead

Only single controller available now for £5.99, still worth it for anyone thinking of buying two extension cables, would be hard pushed to buy a two pack of 10 feet extension cables anywhere else for £4.99, so £5.99 for one controller and two extension cables still is a good bargain.

Offer no longer there as the controllers are out of stock
