I remember my cousin had an IR controller for the NES. IR was so bad it was useless.

I bought these in 1994

They work absolutely fine and the batteries last forever. It was annoying to get back to wired controllers in the 32/64 Bit generation.

This Famicom FDS game would show you how to knit a sweater, so stuff like this already existed in japan.

The AES promos though.... Awesome. Reminds me a bit of the way Sega used to advertise the Master system.

The NES one, I remember you had to be like 3 feet from the sensor bar for it to work, and you had to have it pointed RIGHT at the thing with very little wiggle room.

I can't find much in the way of reviews of the controller aside from this random page here which seems to agree with my memories.

Sounds like typical 3rd Party crap... the infrared controllers from Sega are excellent and have a long range and lots of wiggle room. They were pretty expensive however.
