Might have to pick up two for myself. As they say on the site...
Really? Even on the official retailers list, no one seems to have the "NES30" variant.
Is this inaccurate or am I missing something?

Awesome, only 34$ on DX! I'm going to start saving money for this.
Oh wait, my country is bankcrupt due to the war and I have no money. Oh well. I'll wait for the next revision (hopefully an SNES controller).

The Japanese and Spain retailers had pre-orders. The release date seems to be June 11th.
Unless iOS7's gamepad support radically changed things, you need a jailbroken device and Blutrol, which costs $6 I think but works with a plethora of controllers. Even then I kept getting bizarre response issues rendering the whole setup next to useless.
I can only see the FC30, and not the NES30:

A friend of mine and I own the fc30.
Nothing like the Original in terms of "feeling".
mine broke after several weeks
I Will never something like this again.

Has anyone found a place to buy the NES-30 version yet? I've read the build-quality of the FC-30 was quite horrendous so I'll wait 'till some reviews arrive before picking this one up.
you can buy it from here,

Have my unit on hand. It's really really nice and is a definite upgrade in comparison to the FC30. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Only question I have is if there's somewhere I can purchase it that doesn't happen to be aliexpress.
All links on the official site still only link to FC30 models, except for the eBay link which only provides a search for their store name.
That's actually a really good question. I'll be sure to ask them that when I send the review link to them. If I get a better answer I will let you know.
I wound up purchasing from a company called "Supreme Equipment Company Inc.".
It arrived quickly, and is indeed the correct model, not the FC30.
The controller itself feels just like the original NES controller, although the D-pad and buttons are a bit stiffer. Hoping they will loosen up a bit, but it really isn't that different of a feeling.
Those who use a phone case and are worried that the stand won't accommodate their phone, I use a Galaxy S4 with an Otterbox Defender and my phone fits well enough to not fall over.
I was able to test it out with a few games, and I'm surprised by how well it worked. Easy to pair, and detected by every emulator I tested. Note that there is a small but noticeable input delay when working over Bluetooth. it's only 1 or 2 frames but games like Street Fighter will suffer more than others. I haven't tested any touch-only games, but it does have the ability to emulate touchscreen presses using an app available on the official site. If you've used a JXD device before, you know what the app can do.
Upgraded the firmware as well. Unsure if I had to, but it never hurts to be up to date. The process was simple, although you do need to connect the pad in a specific way (holding L+R+Start to power on before connecting via USB).
I'm very pleased with the controller, as I now have a capable mobile controller that can fit in my pocket.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
