This is a great value kit and I was quickly up and running. However the controllers are not that great. You really have to push the D-Pad quite hard to get it to register sometimes. It's also quite tiring on the hands. I compared these controllers to an original SNES pad and they're like chalk and cheese. The buttons on the original are responsive, require a lot less pressure and also don't need to travel as much. Looking at some forums it seems that most if not all of these USB clones of old hardware are simply not as good as the originals. I've now bought a SNES to USB adapter and the gaming experience is much improved. I would still recommend getting this kit as the USB controllers will get you started and you can always look for alternative later.

I was using a PI 2, some of the ROMS suffered slow down or didn't work (love playing the Dreamcast and N64 games I own again) This PI 3 is fantastic and this bundle is really great value. It is the PI 3B so does have wifi and bluetooth and everything else the 3 comes with.
