What would I need for RetroPie

Ok, So I want to check out retropie but Im not too sure what Controllers I would need to buy.

I have not seen much about it. I want to use it to try out games of Olden Times. I am planning to Buy 2 NES controllers w/ USB ports. So, would this work w/ other Emulated consoles, or would I need Console Specific Controllers?

 

Ps, I prefer Amazon.

tbh I just used a Wired Xbox 360 controller to have compatibility with all the emulators, i have a USB SNES and NES controllers that work good though, really cheap if bought straight from china

Would a Wired XboxOne Controller Work, I dont have any 360 ones, just micro usb and an Xb1

I have no clue don't own any XB1 Controllers, the retropie system has full 360 controller support.

Depends what consoles you want to use, RetroPie has a shitload of consoles, and they all work good the SNES controller works with NES games, and GBA games so probably just the SNES controller if you only want to play nintendo games.

EDIT: you said wired not wireless, so yes it should work fine without any screwing around
