From Interworks...

The same company that made those crappy Wii-U controllers and were supposed to make the controllers for the Retro VGS

 

[BocoDragon]

First reaction was meh, but the fact that you have an NES Advantage for the Mini is not a bad thing...

 

[DownGrader]

Well, that's one way to relive my childhood spent by playing on a stinking bootleg famiclone

 

[sixteen-bit]

Apparently the company behind these is the same as the sketchy-looking elite PS4 controller that showed up recently.

 

[Aaron Strife]

Oh good, now you too can reenact the end of The Wizard

 

[ThatsMytrunks]

Seems like a NES->Wii adapter would be a better option than a third party clone.

Make a Power Glove and I'll be interested.

 

[Dishwalla]

If the controller is built well I'd consider buying one for the turbo button alone.

I have those for my Wii, I hope they work with the mini. Regular controller cord length would be great but I think the boxes are almost as big as the NES mini, lol

 

[Neoxon]

Does the NES Advantage have Sanwa parts, this time?

 

[sixteen-bit]

Does the NES Advantage have Sanwa parts, this time?

I strongly doubt it, but at least the buttons are convex.

edit:

More 3rd party controllers are coming as well

Only wish I knew more about this company and the quality of their products. They have a handful of different NES Classic controllers listed on Amazon, including a wireless option. The extension cable looks fine, but the controllers... oh boy:

 

[The Elite]

Yet no NES Max.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Anyone know if or when this will be available for preorder (The NES Classic itself)?

 

[Duxxy3]

Yet no NES Max.

I liked using the max for RC Pro AM.

 

[The Elite]

At this point it really does look like these are going to be going up the day of release.

I may get up early and go to WalMart to secure one.

 

[jbueno]

Awesome, let me know when they reissue the Laserscope.

wachu know about the u force tho?

 

[jbueno]

wachu know about the u force tho?

Never had the (dis)pleasure of seeing that before!

 

[Afrikan]

wachu know about the u force tho?

Used it a few games... Even used it for Track and Field 2...just to use the Turbo feature.... then eventually got a Maxx

It was so futuristic looking... I'd stare at it alot... trying to understand how it worked. I used to also love the box it came in.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

What use does an advantage even have with the minis game selection.

 

[marmoka]

Forgive my ignorance, but for what were the turbo buttons used? How could I take advantage using them in, for example, Super Mario Bros?

I had a NES, and didn't know why the NES Advantage had extra buttons.

 

[inner-G]

Surprised no one asked yet... but how long will the cords be???

 

[Ryde3]

Surprised no one asked yet... but how long will the cords be???

From the preview video it looks super short, like 3-4ft...

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

In Super Mario Bros. probably the best use would be to use turbo A for swimming, especially at the parts where it tries to suck you down.

It acts as a fast button press, wouldn't do much good in SMB. More for stuff like shmups where you normally have to mash the button to fire fast. Or Track & Field.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

NES Mini as a whole is more about nostalgia than practicality. A bootleg Advantage just taps into that.

 

[marmoka]

So depending on the game, the turbo button made it easier? Haha

Turbo/ rapid fire button's were mainly used for shooters and run and gun's. Contra, Gradius, etc. During the 8-bit days, some publishers like Acclaim were pretty notorious for designing games that that would require the player to hammer on the "A" or "B" button's non stop and then advertise their own third party turbo controllers in the game box.

There really isn't much use for turbo buttons in Super Mario Bros. Some one else said the swimming levels, which I guess would work. But outside of that, nothing else really needs it.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The connector seems to be the same plug a Wiimote has on the bottom of it, so being that you can use the NES pads with your Wii remotes, I'd assume you can use the advantage with your VC games.

 

[Matticers]

All I really want is a regular controller with a long cord. Or a cordless version. I guess that's too much to ask.

 

[big_erk]

If I can't use my Power Glove GTFO!

 

[inner-G]

Didn't know there was a preview video for these. Hopefully they are longer than the ones that come with the NES mini

 

[LiK]

If I can't use my Power Glove GTFO!

I would legit laugh if someone decides to make a 3rd party version.

 

[big_erk]

There can be only one.

Honestly, I could barely get the thing to work properly. But it was so cool i have most of the pieces to this day.

 

[mightynine]

I did not need to see that knockoff Advantage, because now I kind of want it.
