They make controllers modeled after the NES and SNES.

Yup, love my 8bitdo SN30 Pro. Plus it works on windows, andriod, ios, and switch.

If you're using it for sporadic testing, you might want a wired controller so that you don't have to worry about batteries or turning the controller back on if you haven't tested a build in a while. If that's the case, then I'd highly recommend the iBuffalo SNES style controller.

If you absolutely need an NES controller (and have some basic soldering skills) RetroUSB sells USB converter kits that can turn OEM NES controllers into USB controllers. You also might try using a NES to USB adapter, if you don't want to bother with the soldering.

Great, Thank you, I looked all those up, and the Tomee NES to USB Adapter seems to have good enough reviews, I'll go with that solution.
 
I'm not overly fond of my SN30. It's got that d-pad double input bug. But I've had no problems with the $5 USB generics off eBay.
