So how are they? Are they quality or do they feel cheaply made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 cheap? not in the least. Rock solid, heavier than the original controllers were naturally since they are wireless and whatnot. Definitely evokes nostalgia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they are actually pretty close in terms of weight at least by feel anyways. I'm not as big of a fan of the D-pad on the NES-mini or the switch controllers (they feel really similar). It feels like it doesn't depress as much and just don't give off the same kind of feedback of the original. Still really good controllers, I enjoyed using them on Sonic when I played for a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I haven't. Are they still available? worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really only good for playing NES games. I picked them up mostly because of nostalgia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wavebirds don't have a motor for force feedback like wired GameCube controllers and the removal of the motor gives a net reduction in weight despite the addition of batteries. The NES controller didn't have a motor so adding a battery makes it heavier. The weight of the wireless receiver should be negligible but since it's Nintendo they may have done something silly like make it unnecessarily heavy. I think a friend had one of those infrared wireless NES controllers back in the day and I may have tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxEvil AshxX Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The wavebird was one of the best wireless controllers ever made (at the time), and it felt like a cheap piece of shit lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be able to articulate this better since he is a NY Times best selling writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kal-El814 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have the NESCons and I love them more than several women I dated and was in love with at the time. I will never let them go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
