The SNES Classic's controller cables are two feet longer than the NES Classic
it will include a cord that’s around five feet long, two feet longer than the NES. That’s somewhat on the short side, but still a decent improvement — though of course there will likely be some aftermarket wireless options after the system launches in September.
5ft = 1.52m

US side game list
The full list of games included on the SNES Classic follows:

Contra III: The Alien Wars
Donkey Kong Country
EarthBound
Final Fantasy III
F-ZERO
Kirby Super Star
Kirby’s Dream Course

Looking at reviews and streamings, the NES one is quite unplayable. Firstly the controller cable is super super short, you have to buy third party extension. This SNES one has longer cable but still very short.

The NES mini has super super tiny controller (imagine big adult hands holding a matchbox), which is very hard to use, especially the d-pad. If you have to press in any diagonal direction, gg liao. The SNES controllers at least has rounded shape, which helped in the life size console but the NES controller's sharp corners wasn't much of a problem in the mini size version. I expect the same issues with this, again especially the d-pad, due to the tiny size.

I doubt many people buy this one to play games.
It is mostly a collector item.

Ya, I am quite sure all these NES and SNES mini games, together with their emulator systems (which offer save-anywhere, visual filters etc), will become part of the Switch's network subscription monthly free games. So people don't need to actually play them on these miniature novelties (there are already many emulators and ROMs around anyway, if people really want to play the games).

I think you are referring to Famicom Mini (Jap) as the controllers are really super small cos they are docked on system which is already miniaturized.

On the other hand, NES Classic mini controllers are regular sized.

Which means if you buy the uglier NA versions you get better controllers?
