This controller is pretty cool creating the arcade effect with the large angled buttons and mondo handled joystick. More often than not this is your interface in an arcade fighting game. only problem? there wasnt really a bunch of games on the NES that could really adapt to this peripheral. I remember playing final fantasy with this thing hahaha. The joystick comes in handy for prolonged D pad use...in other words this wont hurt your thumbs. It might be good on a game like top gun or something but I never had a flying game on the NES, This peripheral is not for everybody but if you want to get a "different" gaming experience out of your NES pick it up.

I know, I had to bash the Wii in the title, but the standard D pad is all you need for the NES. The Dog Bone NES controller that came with the Top-Loader is more Egronomic (sp), essentially confortable and is shaped like a SNES controller.

As for the controller, it's complicated. There are 2 cords, so you can plug it into both (2) or 1 port. The white stripe indicates player 1, the other wire can be left unused. There is a toggle switch allowing you to use the conroller for player 2 implicitly if it's plugged in (duh!).

There is a slow motion button, yeah it slows down the processors of the NES, aha! "Battletoads", no! it just presses the start button at a adjustable frequency. Other features are cooler, like turbo and it's stirdy foot print, but like another review said, what game needs it? Are you going to make an arcade cabinet?

Please contact your seller before buying this item. The shelf wear can dull the contacts and render the controller frustrating if it's not fully tested within a year. Enjoy, but for hardcore collectors only!

This order is perfect. It works perfectly for being pre-owned. It's great. Very clean and works great. Thank you for good quality products.

I've been playing NES games on my PC with a PS2 controller (using a USB adapter) and it's been great. But recently I started missing my NES Advantage! I've always loved that thing and I can't wait for the one I bought used to show up. I don't know if it will hold up as well as I remember, but I could barely stand using the standard controller after I originally bought one of these with my paper route money.

I played the Zeldas with it, Contra, Golgo 13, SMB, etc. with it and it worked fantastically. I am so excited for this and the USB adapter to show up so I can play games with it again :)
