I bought an NES Advantage a few days ago. It works perfectly, and I got a couple games for it. I fucking love it and defend it with all my might. I dare every single one of you to respect me for my decisions. I will defy every single negative thing you say about the Advantage. I'm happy with what I bought.

I respect it.
I have done similar things buying strictly inferior game controllers just to be able to experience the games the way they were played back in the day.
I bought some Omron XW6Z-0011 buttons a few months back to do this.

For those not familiar: these are the original Neo Geo buttons used in the early MVS cabinets before SNK switched to using PS-14-G buttons. They look similar from the top, but are completely different in design from below. The Omron buttons have a longer stroke, and feel more loose in their socket. They also feel more springy.
Overall: a more primitive feeling product and probably strictly inferior for playing fighting games with.

But I don't regret the purchase at all. And I didn't pay very much for them either because it seems like Neo collectors hardly even care or know about them.

Also bought some vintage LS-32 joysticks and restored the oldest one of the bunch that had notably worse build quality than later versions to pair it with my buttons.

The store didn't have it, but maybe eventually I'll try

I refreshed my memory on it some more and going by part codes they still called for Omron buttons as late as the Super Neo 29 Type II, which would be around 1995.

Today almost all of the cabinets have had their buttons replaced with Seimitsu PS-14-G or Sanwa OBSF-30.

[Anonymous No.10055326]

Tangential topic: I have just one pic of this Capcom cabinet which is using a type of blue Omron button I've never seen anywhere else. Quite mysterious..

I really want one of these because when I play with my modern arcade stick it just feels weird.

Normie tier argumentation:

[Anonymous No.10055841]

it’s pretty fun. makes every game feel a bit more arcade-y. which is great because most nes games are pretty arcade-y. I really like how sturdy it feels. it’s mostly just the metal bottom plate though.

You know you have to buy a Famicom ASCII stick now, don't you?

I'm glad you feel a need to justify how much you enjoy it, which is not saying much beyond insecurity.

I kind of want to build a stick with leaf switches for the really early arcade feel.

[Anonymous No.10055893]

>>10055241
I didn't know this. Maybe I'll grab some for my Neo Candy, whenever I can finally get the monitor working.

its autistic but i did the same thing
and i KNEW it was ass when i purchased it
something about having the same stick from when i was a kid
it just felt right

for easymode games like kirby or 1942 its fine
for "NES hard huehuehue" titles i prefer to have a refurbished stock controller
with GOOD membranes
sourcing them is hit\miss

the advantage is sweet for the turbo function
its too bad they didnt blip some nice user-serviceable microswitches but
cant have everything i guess

ascii makes a "super advantage" for the snes
same deal slightly shittier buttons that can catch the sides

their ps1 entry is actually clicky and nice though
whats retarded is the ps1 one is the cheapest
which means ebay tards are just buying for the same reason i did

because of the memories and it looking cool as fuck

[Anonymous No.10056787]

>>10055869
there is a pc engine version of this
although hori might be the manufacturer
i want them both

[Anonymous No.10056806]

>>10054750
I can see the appeal.

[Anonymous No.10056807]

>>10056782
Boil the membranes and then every oem controller you buy will be a hit

[Anonymous No.10056853]

its cool but overkill for almost every nes game.
I would give it to my annoying cousin and he would cry about it.

[Anonymous No.10056860]

this was the best nes controller.

What's so good about it? and how does it compare to the Joycard?

There is one Zipper (grey one) available in my area for 30 bucks, should I?

[Anonymous No.10056968]

I have a broken joycard sss coming for my famicom. I imagine the solder joints have broken since it's two boards soldered together into an ice cream sandwich, with no spacers. I like how the famicom version just plugs into the front port with no audio cord flailing around

[Anonymous No.10056971]

>>10056882
Lol nothing it’s just a neat looking controller. Other than that it’s the same as any other knockoff one

that's a sexy keyboard

[Anonymous No.10057030]

I used mine for baseball games (i.e. Baseball Stars and Bad News Baseball, my two favorites), Cobra Triangle and Street Fighter 2010. The NES Advantage is awesome with these.

[Anonymous No.10057139]

>>10055869
yeah op im happy for you, but you'll have much more fun with an actual decent arcade stick that uses microswitches like this one

Play Battletoads with it. I got up to the Robo-Anus part.

I bet that ASCII stick is based on the Sigma SJ-9000TB.

Sigma was an early manufacturer of very fine arcade sticks in Japan.

[Anonymous No.10058528]

>>10054750
And I also bet the NES advantage was made by ASCII for Nintendo and is based on the same design seen in MSX and PC Engine arcade sticks of the time.

i read old nintendo powers with my breakfast each day and currently reading some 1989 ones where people that write in talk a lot about the advantage and how great it is. Does it really help with some games?

[Anonymous No.10058825]

It's a legit good controller for Marble Madness

[Anonymous No.10058883]

>>10058572
Nope.
There's no real advantage to using a joystick over a d-pad in any NES game. But if you are used to using a joystick then you may feel more at home with it.

However, it is still fun just play around with.

[Anonymous No.10058973]

>>10058515
I did some more research on this and I think it's the other way around.

An ASCII stick can be seen in Gamest Issue 02 in July 1986, but advertisements for Sigma joysticks don't appear until Gamest Issue 16 in January 1988.

[Anonymous No.10059121]

>>10058973
Or is it?
Found an ad for the SJ-9000TB in the January 86 issue of Family Computer Magazine.
