From another angle.

Nes30 for those wondering

Looks pretty cool, I'd get one but the fact that they ship from China is a concern.

NES controller is great if you like sharp corners digging into your hands. Back in the day the SNES controller was a godsend.

looks beautiful, but I have to admit that I hated the NES controller. there is a reason why every controller since then has that same boomerang shape.

hell, even the NES Advance controller had a boomerang shape

>>1672002
Not OP, but I've actually never had this problem. My hands are gigantic though, I liked the original Xbox controller.

>angles on Dpad digging into thumbs
>angles on controller digging into fingers and palm
>controller sized for a child, not the adults who have the nostalgia and loot to buy this

the more I think about this, the more I think its a terrible, lazy idea. If you are going to rip off a controller, do the SNES, or the Saturn.

what is that plastic frame, around the bottom, for?

what is the origami thing for underneath that nostalgic trash

>>1672035
To make it 2kool4skool.

It's a portable stand for your phone or tablet. It supports PC, Mac, iDevices, android too.

Why all these bumps and patches on the edges?

>>1672075
It's just a stand that can be taken off. It's an extra.

>>1672002
While I agree that the SNES controller is better, you shouldn't be holding the corners so tightly that they dig into your hands. The controller is freaking tiny.

>>1671978
Looks well made. I wonder how responsive the buttons are.

>>1671978
Pressing Y and X is gonna be a bitch.

>>1672035
>>1672038
It's a stand for your bluetooth device of choice.
You place your phone/tablet in one of the notches and it stands at a 45 degree angle. People claim that it worked really well on the previous version (pic related)

Speaking of the previous version, I have heard some not-so-good things about the button quality and durability of the controller.
FC30 (Famicom 30th anniversary).
This is supposed to be an upgrade, but I'd wait for a review first.

>have heard some not-so-good things about the button quality and durability of the controller.

Yeah, I wish I could expect more from things that ship out of Hong Kong.

>>1672002
Seriously, it was only bearable for me because I didn't know any better. Once the SNES came out, I hated the NES controller. I'm honestly surprised they never redesigned the controller to something not so darn sharp.

>>1673194
Actually, they did when the top-loading NES came out. Too bad it's a pain in the ass to find.

>>1672002
I am literally holding a NES controller in my hand right now, trying really, really hard to hold it in a natural position that would actually cause any discomfort.

>>1671978
>>1673068

Well this look coo-

>for PC games and emulation

Because god fucking forbid they make a good controller for the NES with turbo buttons.

>>1673260
Why on earth did you think something with 4 face buttons and two triggers would be intended for an original NES? This is for phones.

>>1673248
Try harder.
In the meantime, play Track&Field II hammer throw to truly find out how shitty the dpad is.

This thing supposedly gets released on the 11th. I've been unable to find a decent gamepad for Android, and I'm not confident in my ability to mod a SNES controller.
Anyone else getting one?

>>1673216
I have a couple of the NES dogbone controllers. Amazing things.

>>1671978
how are you going to play street fighter

>>1676125
The same way you would on a Super Nintendo.

>>1673381
It takes like no movement to max out your throw in T&F2. It's one of the easiest sports in the game.

I have the Famicom version of this controller. It's great, even works with the Wii.

>>1676273
I heard it can emulate a Bluetooth keyboard. Have you tried it?

Considerint too.

Think i'm buying the FC30

http://www.fc30.com/eng/why-combo-fc30.html

could be all bullshit what they write but if everything they write is true than this is an awesome piece of hardware.

would have loved to use the wiimote with my samsung galaxy2 to play emulator but at some point one update from google made it impossible to use.

i wish i knew whether my next smartphone will be compatible with wiimote...

>>1671978
I hate the design of the NES controller because ti is so sharp and has too many corners. This just adds corners. Do it in a Famicom style and we will talk.

Just bought this. Dengju based OP for introducing.

Free International Shipping so


US $36.89 will be ~27€

>>1676678
Yes, works. It also receives somewhat frequent firmware updates, which is surprising for chinese stuff.

>>1676870
They have the same thing in a famicom design. FC30.

>>1673260
Kek

Have one finding one though

>>1677117
perspective buyer for a nexus 5, hows the build quality on it? also wondering about its compatibility with android emulators. it seems like a reasonable price and comfortable controller.

Just get one of these and use a real SNES controller. The quality on these remakes, lookalikes, and remixes are all over the damn place. I use my SNES controller for NES, SNES, Genesis, most handhelds, and some Steam games that don't need more buttons than what the SNES controller provides.

Do have an adapter for N64 as well. Nothing else comes close to feeling right. Fucking N64 and your weird ass controller. At least I can use a dualshock for gamecube.

>>1681601
That's not really a portable solution for mobile devices.

>>1673260
they did anon, over 20 years ago

>>1678681
What?

>>1672004
I'm with this guy, the controller didn't hurt and the duke controller was a gift from the Gods.
