Nintendo NES: accessories and play experience

Discover the functions and game ideas behind these accessories and how they complement your way of playing.

Direct controls for 8-bit games

The NES controller centres on a directional pad and two action buttons. This straightforward layout puts timing first: a platform jump or an evasive move requires a deliberate press of a button.

Playing together on one television

A second controller gives supported games room for an opponent or teammate. Some games let you play simultaneously, while others have you take turns attempting a level or setting a new high score.

A different way to play

The NES also had accessories such as the Zapper and NES Advantage. These shifted control towards aiming at the screen or using a joystick and large buttons, in games supporting those devices.
