The classic controller is very very comfortable, and of course perfect for SNES games. It's fine for N64 games as well, tho I prefer the GC controller there.

The problem is it is useless for Mario games on NES (and other games that require you to hold B while pressing A), because holding B for running and using A for jumping is very very uncomfortable with this layout:

  X
Y  A
  B

When using the classic controller, nintendo should have switched the layout so a NES B-press equals Y on the classic, and NES A-press equals B on the classic. OR ATLEAST GIVE US THE OPTION!!

B+A is just horribly uncomfortable. Therefore I have to use the wii remote by itself when playing NES games, which is no where near as comfortable to hold as a NES controller.
