I swear my neighbor in Peabody used to have that exact joystick back in the day. We used to plug it in and play Super Mario Bros. 3 with it

My Sansui should be here Wed/Thur, at which point I'll take plenty of pics/leave my review.

Intresting joystick box...



It looks like an imagic box.

80s packaging

I have an extra one if anyone wants one below an the going ebay rate.

Spoken for!
 

Excited to see what ya think. It is all I will use now. The headphones really boost the bass and make these soundtracks pop. Silver Surfer sounds like freaking iron maiden right now.

Note: I still have an extra one that is non-functioning but fixable. Will sell it for beans.

How much to ship to Canada? I would probably take it!

Mine should be here between today and Thursday

Shipping to Canada will cost way more than this broken controller is even worth. :C

I've actually had this one in my watch list for like two months now, finally decided to pick it up because of this thread. Been slow to pull the trigger because I don't like paying 50% of the total cost in shipping. Under $20 for a new in box NES accessory is still a pretty good deal. They won't combine shipping though which sucks, I wanted to get two, one to keep sealed and one to try out.

have you tried to open it and replace the parts ?

I did open it up. You wouldn't believe what the insides of this thing look like. It's like... two board that are soldered together like an ice cream sandwich. All the important bits are sandwiched in between the boards and inaccessible without a solder gun.

never would have thought that, what a mess

I actually just stumbles across this the other week.. only have the box though :/

Hurry..someone said something for nes is cool....everyone rush to ebay to by one...! sheep.

*Pokes head up, chewing grass*

Aww, did you just dump a bunch of these recently for cheap? Maybe got outbid on that auction for the one you wanted? Maybe you just like to point out obvious trends to show everyone how smart you are? I dunno. The whole, "Hey I got this cool thing!" followed by, "I want one too!" goes back pretty far in all of us. It's how I got into Pokemon. Kid showed it to me, I thought it was awesome and asked for the same for my next bday.

I didn't think I needed a new controller but OP made me want to try out this controller and see if it's awesome! And I got $20 laying around, why not. Go convince me something else is cool and maybe you can have my next $20.

The funny thing is I very rarely get excited about something like this. My gut was strong with this one; I pounced when I saw it available. I don't use Ebay, so I probably paid a bit more than I could have, but that doesn't really matter too much to me.

Dat. Headphone. Port.

  *Baaaaaaaaaa!!!* 

Do you even PLUG your headphones into your controller, kid...?

Boo-rns. I was hoping to open up that ice cream sandwich

I mean. If you pay shipping you can have it for cheap. But ya gotta bring it back to life!
Want me to send you some pictures of the boards?

Hope NA forgives me for initiating the Joycard hype. I just... had to share my love.

^ no you are right...the controllers and are really cool....The flooders that rush to ebay to survive every time someone even mentions anything nes is kind lame though...like these pads havnt been around for a long time...
