    I thought this was a pretty odd controller for the NES. 2 regular buttons plus 2 turbo buttons. From 1995. Thought I'd''share a couple photos

    Thanks for sharing, but there are a ton of these. In fact, Nintendo released an official turbo controller for the NES (NES Max).

    There are even wireless controllers featuring turbo made by Acclaim.

    (Obviously they weren't very accurate)

    Yeah I know it's no big secret. Just don't see them in the packaging too often and thought I'd share for the hell of it

    I've got a High Frequency Genesis controller still in the original packaging. Haven't had much need to open it with the 15+ controllers I already have.

    Quick, get it sealed in plastic and ask $40,000 for it.

    I'm actually positive that if he gets this $10 controller graded for $60, he could probably ask $70 for it.

    I remember seeing these during the N64 days still at TRU.

    I believe we had two of these back in the early 90s. I remember the turbo buttons and the rounded edges, while still having the NES style graphics on them. I think they were pretty good controllers.

    I bought a NIB Dreamcast controller from the Dreamcast era last week and it only cost $10. The 3rd party stuff isn't worth anything (for the most part).
