Racketboy store controllers

Post by KuiperBelt »

I searched and searched but couldn't find anything so I apologize if this has been asked before. (Also is this the right section to ask?) Has anyone tried the generic controllers (NES/SNES) sold on the Racketboy store? Obviously I would prefer originals but if these work fine and don't feel too off the price is worth it to me. Anyone have experience they can share?

We don't really have a place for this kind of question so I'm going to go ahead and give this post the A-okay.

To answer your question: I've heard they are pretty high end as far as reproductions go. They are not as bad as the cheap knock offs. I've never heard a complaint.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

are the DC ones even knock-offs? I think they're just PAL Sega ones aren't they?

As near as I can tell. SNES controllers are harder to come by and there's more of a market for reproductions, though.

Yeah I highly doubt the store is selling reproductions of Dreamcast controllers. There just isn't much of a market for repros when brand new controllers are still abundant for both US and especially PAL. Quite honestly, they only thing that comes remotely close to a controller repro for the Dreamcast are the ones made by Topway, and even those controllers are quite rare.
