Premodded NES controllers for Duo/PC Engine
« on: December 22, 2008, 05:02:58 AM »
NES pad    NES Advantage stick

They're a bit spendy for my tastes, but they're cool for any NES controller lovers that don't want to fiddle with modding one.

not too bad. Although the regular NES controllers totally blow. I have not seen him sell a dogbone NES controller, but those are worth modifying / buying. They make a great RPG controller. The Sansui NES controllers are also nice on the Duo/TG since they also have turbo fire. The NES advantage is interesting, but since I own a Turbostick I don't really see the point.

The price is ain't bad. If I still had my PCE I'd buy it.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I don't think I've ever beaten a Nintendo game using a dogbone controller...

I never liked the original that much it all ways feeled so uncomfortable to me.

The dogbone to me felt like a natural fit in my hands.

Me too, I've always loved the dog bone controller. The OG nes pad has sharp corners that can be annoying when playing some games. However, I do wish that the dog bone's buttons were angled in the opposite direction ( like the SNES buttons Y & B.)

I went ahead and laid down the duckets for the advantage stick, so I can use it along with my turbo one. When I receive it, I'll let you all know how well it works.

If you aren't afraid of opening up, take some snaps I am very interested to see what this guys work looks like on these (and the quality of his mod) especially since he is selling on ebay.

Insanity, the dog cone has contoured corners so that it doesn't stab your hand. It's a BIG improvement.
