There have
been many great controllers over the ages, but in my opinion, there will never be one as
perfect as the NES Advantage. The turbo buttons, the arcade-style
joystick... it was all too good to be true for a console system. And
didn't it feel great when you could invite a friend over and give them the
standard NES controller and then kick their ass with ease thanks to your NES
Advantage? Sure, it might have been a cheap win, but it was still one that
you could easily enjoy.
Quite a few
rip-offs of the NES Advantage were released shortly after, but none of
them stood up to it because they were always cheaply made. I've still yet
to see a defective NES Advantage controller. Wish I could say the same
about all the keyboards I've gone through. Sure, I've spilled enough soda
on them to fill an ocean, but that's no excuse for them to stop working. I
took bubble baths with my NES Advantage and it still worked just fine. Ok
that's a lie... I only bathed with the box.
