In early testing, I found that the 5V line on the controller port can power the Arduino all by itself, but I'm not sure it would be wise to hook that up and also hook it to a USB bus. Perhaps with a diode added, this can be done safely, but for now just make sure the board is powered up before you start your NES and think for a moment that you broke it. ;)
