Now I have to find the game! I dont have it yet. Probably when I get my tax return, I'll buy it online! But for now its just gonna stick around taking up some space in my room!
Contrary to popular belief Steel battalion is pretty affordable. But add in that controller and it becomes a wallet breaker!

The game itself is actually quite cheap:

And new breakaways to replace your missing one are dirt cheap too:

Yuyp!

He can use any from his standard Xbox controllers or just pick up another for about $1-$4.

both of the links you posted are to the online-only sequel, Line of Contact. the original steel battalion game is still going to run you 40-60 bucks, typically. still a very nice find. i will one day own this game again. i really regret ever selling it. i think i got like $80 for it or something criminal along those lines. :cry:

Just use a pair of AV cables. The NES has standard AV jacks on it's right side after all.

Ah, my bad. I never really paid too much attention to the franchise thanks to how much it cost to actually get a shot at playing it. A buddy of mine had it once, but he long since sold it.

Picked up The Legendary Axe, Ninja Spirit, and Alien Crush for TG-16 all CIB or 5 bucks a pop the other day. Pretty excited as all three were on my "must get for TG-16" list.
