Gets the same support, because it looks AMAZING.
Plenty of buttons that could be potentially remapped if that is even possible.
That looks so cool. Does amazon sell them?
Yea they're like 50 bucks last I looked. I got the non-pro version to test and I might grab a pro if I like the feel as the thing.

Maybe it's a problem on my end, but I know about the Home button combo when pairing, but it's not working during gameplay. Is there something I'm missing or is that not a feature yet?

Hmm... that's odd. Holding L + R + A + B brings up the RetroN Home menu for me with both the NES30 and SNES30.

ID10T error. For some reason, I was doing X instead of B. Thanks for the input.

Are you sure they work with the WiiU? I can pair my NES30 with the Wii no problem. But WiiU no way.

Hmm... I haven't actually tried it, but they do only show Wii on their website. Because it emulates a Wii Remote, it should work for any game that supports that controller. It definitely won't act as a Pro Controller or GamePad, though. That could be your problem? Once I get a chance to test it on my Wii U, I'll report back.

I got the nes 30 pro controller, but it won't connect to the RetroN no matter what.

Did you install the updated firmware on the controller after charging it? It is required to proceed. Make sure after you are following the correct start mode instructions then pairing as directed.

I installed the latest firmware and tried to pair it. I turned it on with power + L2. Is there a button combination for pairing?

The pairing instructions are in the OP's original post on page 1 of this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=228#p1013
They're also outlined on the manufacturer's website here:
http://www.fc30.com/eng/firmware-update.html
You have to go into the Retron 5's Controller settings under Manage Retron 5 Controllers to actually pair it using the L + R + A + B combo which simulates the home button.
Good luck.
