I was recently playing on a friend's NES Classic, and noticed that the controller ports look similar to the ones on a Wii remote (where you can plug in the Numchuck or Class Controller). Keep in mind that these ports work with original NES controllers, so this wasn't Nintendo reusing its designs (at least not that design specifically). Upon plugging in a Class Controller (Wii Classic Controller, designed for the Wii controller), I was surprised to see that it actually worked, and thought it was an authentic NES controller. Now, I don't have an original NES to test this on, but are the controller ports from the original NES identical to the ones on the Wii remote?

Voted as off-topic, since — as per the answer already posted — the port on the NES is both physically and electrically completely distinct from that on a NES Classic. So the substance of the question is the Wii and the NES Classic, which I don't think are yet old enough to be on topic. Honourably off-topic, if that's a concept, given that the author believes that "these ports work with original NES controllers", which would have given more of a connection were it true.

fair enough. thank you for your opinion, however I may disagree. I feel that while the NES Classic isn't technically old, it should be considered on-topic for some retro questions.
