Grabs Contra out of the system
"Are you serious right now? You're embarrassing me in front of the new guy"
I love the turbo on my NES Advantage, so removing it is a dealbreaker. The case looks taller and it doesn't have as smooth of a down slope to lay your wrist on. It just looks like a cheap knockoff. Add turbo switches, make the case more ergonomic and keep the price under $35 and I might buy one.
The only problem I see is they took the advantage out of the NES advantage. Reliable Turbo is one of the best qualities of the original. This new one still looks fairly decent though.
My local used game store has used NES Advantages for 8 bucks. I think I'll stick with those for now
Nope. I’ll stick with the original.
Retro Chunk especially that the original one is cheaper and the retrobit one probably feels cheap.
Retro Chunk yeah no advantage in losing the turbo buttons - excuse the pun.
STICK with...
The very first time I saw the NES Advantage in late 80's was when my friend got one for christmas and we played... Contra! :D
I loved the editing in this video when you pop the catridge in IDK why but the way you edited it comes off strangley satisfying
Neat controller
XD that was so perfect to start with "are you serious right now?! * cleans slams cart in * there!" lmao
I do agree it's disappointing there's no slow-mo or turbo on this thing... I mean even without the adjustable dials having it would've made it so much better! I already have several advantages (don't ask how I wound up with so many) so this first iteration wouldn't do it for me personally, but yeah if a version 2 came out that had those features I might think about it just because of the higher quality parts!
I have to admit that looks like a lovely little joystick.
I still have an NES Advantage, but this is pretty tempting just for the microswitches. Literally the only reason I regret giving a friend of mine my Quickshot is the clicky responsiveness of those things.
I like my original NES Advantage. I got it years ago from a friend for free. Had borrowed it for a little bit from him and when I went to give it back he said I could keep it. Boy did I get lucky. Don't use it for every game but when I do use it I love it.
Capcom Fighter Power Stick was\is the best. It has interchangeable cords for both the NES and SNES, and is still working great 25 years later.
I have one.. and I am currently trying to get a SNES Advantage.
Awww,it's like a baby NES Advantage! That joystick is still satisfyingly clicky tho
Also oh man,you can always count on the NES giving some entertaining technical difficulties. At least thanks to 1-up Cards you didn't have to blow into the cartridge like some sort of peasant 😅
colec0 Aww it didn't? That's a bit of a shame,it looked like a pretty sweet arcade stick otherwise ;w;
I have 3 nes advantage controllers. Captain N made it look so cool
That Nes Advantage controller and 1 up card gives us some amazing ASMR sounds.
When are we gonna see retrobit Turbo/PC engine controllers.
Retro bit should make these for other systems like SNES, Genesis, and N64. Maybe they should even make a double headed plug.
HOLY Moly Riggs! My favourite controller of ALL time! This helped me beat BLASTER MASTER cause of the turbo and especially the slow motion button. This is cool!
We know that the reason why you play on the table is because you are also eating a bowl of cereal at the same time... caught you! Ha ha!
I have been considering getting this. My Advantage is getting worn. The joystick isn't as good as it used to be. Thanks for another great video!
I had the original Advantage stick but preferred my official nes Maxx controller.
Your a hero in a tmnt t shirt, that's Turtle Power!! Cowabunga!!
For me the lack of turbo is not really a problem because you can use a turbo adapter or 4 score. If you want to set it on your lap, place it on top of a board from a board game. LOL
What's the guy look like inside? Any way to hack in a turbo button? Maybe a $2.30 Arduino mini if ya gotta add something. Show us the guts John!
For me, the ultimate test is Mr. Pacman. There is such a need to change direction.
It works fine for PacMan on NES. I have tried it and it does it's job pretty good.
I don't like how clicky it sounds... surprised me that you liked it, but maybe the clicky problem isn't as bad as the video audio makes it seem like. It looks responsive... which is the most important part.
in sweden NES Advantage was 1/3 of the nes unit. so not many people got it because you got like 3 new games for it.
I love the fact that it uses microswitches but hate that there is no turbo. If it had turbo it would be superior to the NES Advantage for shooters but as is I'll have to pass.
I don't know if it's standard, but my Nes Advantage has a heavy, metal plate on the bottom. Gives the stick a good sense of heft. I guess it keeps it from sliding around the table. Same reason I added weights inside of my 360 fightsticks few years ago.
Omitting the turbo buttons is just sacrilegious imo. Maybe they wanted to keep the costs low.
It's missing the turbo wheels and switches! Essential for NES shmups as many don't have autofire.
I thought the controller was in the box ,.. Good thing it was not,.. I used to have Marble Madness,.. 👍😀
I still use my fight stick to play everything that allows for it (basically any game without necessary dualshock type controls) and I love arcade controls, they make the game so much more fun to play. I wish I had known about the advantage as a kid, I saw Ghostbusters but I thought it was a prop for the movie, I remember thinking "wow that looks a lot like a Nintendo controller!" lol
There is a new advantage out for the NES Classic and its got the turbo. It’s awesome.
Nice. Looks like they actually used microswitches in the joy stick. My Happ controls on my arcade are very similar.
I have a NES Advantage but I never use it cause I was never really a fan of using an arcade stick over a regular controller.
Why didn't you use the 45 degree option on Marble Madness?
deal breaker is it's missing the led lights..... how are we supposed to know when were pushing buttons?
Hmm $25 huh? Well a NES advantage can be found for like $5-10 so you have the turbo dials and everything.
I just found this video right after i got one of my own. Super yellowed, i love it because that means there's been a history to this controller.
That being said had i gone with retrobit's controller i dont think i would have been disappointed with that gated joystick and all. The advantage has that squishy kind of design that was used on a lot of early sticks, rather than the clicky buttons.
That stick shaft looks WAY too long. It's travel distance has to be crazy long before activation.
I used to love the advantage pad for playing Super dodgeball. I would have no interest in this controller though. You may like the joystick but I hate the clicks and without the adjustable turbo... no thanks
I just picked up a real one for $15 used and it works great...
Kro DaJuggalo I picked up mine for $7. I don't use it that much. I only use it for the arcade ports like paceman, Marble madness, and Donkey kong
I just whant it to hear the contra intro :(
no turbo? why bother making it at all what a waste
Well, you can always use it with an NES Four Score but then you might as well buy a real NES Advantage then. I have both though. lol
You're wearing a TMNT shirt yet you failed to play TMNT II: The Arcade Game...
Have this in my save for later list on Amazon, haven't jumped the gun yet!
I'd love to see a teardown, see what kind of switches it uses.
This is all well and good, but when will they remake the Power Glove?
wasn't there one for the nes classic ?
No turbo = no buy for me, also I would have liked to have seen a USB plug on the end with adapters for NES, and Wii/NES Classic., so I can use it on just more then my NES. These products need to be giving us good bang for the buck, and this just is not it for me.
Thanks for the reply, but not having a turbo feature is a no go for me with this one sorry :-(
I could never get past level 3 on marble madness, and level 1 of snake rattle roll
I love Snake Rattle and Roll!
Didn’t Marble Madness use a trackball in the arcade? Kinda defeats the purpose of picking arcade games, right? ;)
Why did they use convex buttons :(
Awesome shirt
As nice as the Advantage was, it's not micro-switched, it's rubber domes - so it can feel a lot more spongy. This new one sounds a bit too clicky, a sort of cheap clicky, not Hori clicky.
I love the original, but do often hunger for a more modern micro-switched NES joystick.
By the way, don't buy the SNES Super Advantage thinking it must be as good as NES advantage. It's not, it's pretty much awful, and not as good. Get a good micro-switched arcade stick.
I loved Karnov, but difficult for me. I wish this had a connector for the nes classic.
Got an Original Advantage and just ordered this one. Wondering if the microswitches make it really feel that much better.
Which is better?
@@kapralczajnik8674 The microswitches feel great, but the controller overall feels very cheap in my oppinion, it is to lightweight, got not metal plattform like the real advantage. So best to do, and what i have done, is getting a advantage the cheapprice over ebay and mod it with microswitches.
@@salty_word_6247 Thanks for review.
@@kapralczajnik8674 you are Welcome.
i really want this thanks John for making me spend money lol. anyway the thing i would like to know is, will this work on my NES classic mini
Awesome shirt tmnt
I enjoyed your videos
I just saw one in a gamestop
Is the base of it plastic or is it metal?
You could just add turbo switches
So this one is 25$? Not worth it when you can get the original for less.
Of course, the original is not flawless (like most of the retro things are) but it seems to be the better experience than this one and man, the clicky clicky sound is freakin me out, annoying!
Actually this one works just as well as an original advantage, without the turbo of course. I like this because I don't have to abuse my original ones and can keep them in nicer shape for longer. That's the same reson I use clone consoles when I play my cartridges. My original hardware can stay nice and not get abused as much.
No Turbos = Hard Pass.
Isn't there one of these made for the NES Classic Edition?
Cause I saw one at an EBgames store 2 years ago...
So how long is the cord?
Seems about 6 feet.
nice :).
Do you know if this stick is compatible with Hyperkin retron 1 hd?? Thank you!
woa cool
Arrgh... Shmups??? Nes??? Just don't. Shoot 'em Ups, or just Shooters and it's N.E.S.!!!
I have bought a real one for Just 25 euros
Have you ever beaten Karnov? Worst video game ending ever!
Interesting, but weird to watch. I don't know anyone who called the N.E.S. Advantage the "nes" advantage, but whatever. With real Advantage sticks available still, I don't see the point in a knock-off that's missing too many features. Pass...
Lmfao cartridge fail. Lol sorry bud
nah the original is still better
Junk. All these "clone consoles" and accessories are pure and utter trash. Stick with the originals!
OEM OR BUST!
Actually, there are a lot of great clones that use actual hardware, and perform perfectly, come in HD, and have 16:9 and 4:3 selector switches, and there are tons of well made accessories as well. You have no clue what you're even talking about. Yes, I love the originals, and have lots of retro consoles in my collection, but I also like many different clone consoles too. You'd be surprised at how good some of them really are. They aren't all cheap clones with garbage emulation inside of them. Some even play games from other regions, like PAL, which is awesome, because a lot of gamers want the advantage of being able to play many different carts from around the world on one console. I also like the clone consoles because I dont have to abuse my original hardware all the time. A $50 or $60 dollar clone I'm not so worried about breaking.
Looks cheap. Open it up.
CastleMania Games
Ok I'll check it out. If it has your approval I'm sure I'm wrong about the build quality.
So this is what retro gaming has turned into huh? Just a bunch of cheap throw away garbage consoles and accessories designed to take advantage and make a quick buck off the retro craze. What’s the point of this? For less than $25 you could buy a real, used NES advantage that still works 30 years later because it’s actually well built. I really wish people would stop supporting and encouraging this nonsense. Save your support for products like the AVS or the Super NT that actually add something of value to retro gaming.
I'd take microswitches over the original rubber membrane design any day. It's also easy enough to swap out the joystick and buttons on this with some genuine Japanese arcade parts from Sanwa or Seimitsu.
zaneiken07 The fact you could replace everything on this with high quality parts has nothing to do with the point I was trying to make.
