So this might be crazy, but would the following be possible:
Make an NES compatible controller where the select and start buttons are the same shape as A and B, and then just place them above A and B like with the SNES controller. Then one could program an NES game to realistically use those buttons for things other than pause or menus. For most games, start is reserved for pausing, and select if used at all is used to navigate menus or selecting 1P or 2P (which could be performed by up and down). If one wanted to program either of these buttons to do something more substantial, their placement on the traditional controller is less than ideal.
