Its not rare.

You can pick one up on eBay (which has many up for sale) for around $20.

Not rare, at least from where i reside. Here in Cali, Street Value for the 3D controller ranges from $9 to $15.

When there are this many on ebay, especially that many brand new ones, it is in no way rare at all.

I think we should've just let the original thread keep running. At least it was self-contained.

Oh, is it a serious question? These are about as rare the "OMG, I found a GOLD Zelda NES cart. My first RARE!!@! find! OMG!!! WOW!!!!" NES Zelda I and II gold carts.


Of course they don't turn up as often in N.America as NES pads, but they are very easy to find online if you want one.

Trolling ceases to be funny once you start trying too hard... scale it back a little man.

I'll try. I'm between finishing university and scoring a good job. I get a bit bored, you know?

Do you think the 3D pad works well on Panzar Dragoon Saga? I never bothered to try it with my legit copy.


:mrgreen: Sorry, I'll try harder to scale back... I'm only just a small mischievousness girl in a yellow hat. :oops:
