Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System
Ever wondered why the cable of the controller that comes with the Nintendo Classic Mini: Nintendo Entertainment System is so short? Well, it turns out there’s a good reason for that: it’s due to the limitations of the communication protocol used. It’s the same one used on the Wii Remote, when you have a nunchuk or Classic Controller (Pro) connected.
That standard, called I2C, has limitations in speed and length. You can actually use cable extensions, but the limitations will still be there, and depending on the length, you may end up with some (minor) issues.
