thoughts on Messiah's NES/NEX
anyone have any input on this? It looks interesting since it can play both NES and Famicom carts. Anyone have any experience with one? Did you like it?

Since that's a top post not a forum one I'll comment anyway.
You can use regular NES controllers, which is a good thing. I always use my Advantage and have not used the controller that came with it beyond 2 minutes of 'yep it works'. If you don't have an adapter or the bits or know how to make one for Famicom carts it's very handy. The colors and sound are a bit off and some games like Castlevania III will not work in it. It will however play PAL imports as well. I can verify that the PAL Over Horizon works great in it and is the main use mine gets.
I wouldn't have paid the $50 or so that it cost when new, but I got mine for $25 with a copy of Bomberman and Metroid and the PAL compatibility is a plus for me.
