If you're really going for an authentic look you can get a NES-style case for the Pi too[2]. Pi3 even has built in-bluetooth so it should work wirelessly with the Nes30 controller out of the box.

Good idea.

Im also thinking might be able to use authentic controller but cut of the connector and instead wire directly to the Pi's GPIO.

Or SPI. The controller is just a shift register.
