The main attraction is its colorful design, with a transparent red faceplate, blue buttons and analog sticks, and Mario gracing the bottom right portion of the controller. It’s not wireless, but its 8-foot cable should let you comfortably lounge on the couch without any issues, and it’s also detachable for easy storage. A 30-day return policy comes with your purchase in case it doesn’t live up to your standards.
