Emio The Edge Joystick V2 for NES Classic/Wii U

I'm not sure why people are complaining about this controller. It works wonderfully for me on my mini NES Classic! On the SNES, having turbo was not a requirement. But on the NES it is an absolute must have! Makes playing the games so much more fun! Yes this controller is not as well built as the original NES Advantage was, but at this price point what are you really going to complain about? Get it, be happy, and stop your crying. LOL!Highly recommended...

Growing up I owned an NES Advantage and it was my go to Joystick for my Nintendo system back in the day due to the turbo buttons and responsiveness of the controller. I was really looking forward to using this device with the NES Classic Edition.Pros:Looks like the NES Advantage from back in the day.Cons:Plays nothing like the NES Advantage from back in the day. Joystick felt like there was sand or some particulates underneath the base, no smoothness whatsoever when using.Joystick is very laggy and downright unresponsive to action on screen. Do not try playing the Air Man level for Mega Man 2 with this joystick unless you want to build yourself up into a psychopathic rage.Buttons are loud and as unresponsive as the joystick.Bottom Line:Stay away. One last note, I paid for a new controller, but the box and joystick were very obviously used, the tape on the product box peeled off and replaced with scotch tape, controller had finger prints on it. I suspect someone previously shared the same sentiment that I had for this device, and it is very crummy that it was repackaged and sold to me as new. Again, stay away.

Edit: I just want to add that this joystick works totally fine with Pac-Man. The joystick's gate is oriented in a square 4/8 config. The problem in Pac-Man would be from the user firing an angle instead of a primary direction--so to eliminate that issue for anyone wanting to--you could rotate the gate's insert to go with a diamond shape and eliminate the 8-way functionality you get from the default orientation's corners and only have 4-way. I don't think that would be a very good idea though because it's fully functional for any style game as it is. I've played Pac-Man, Shoot 'em ups, Brawlers, Fighting games and all do very well with this stick. I think it's very likely the people complaining about the joystick's functionality in Pac-Man are likely the type of people who are unhappy about everything anyway, and probably aren't very good at Pac-Man to begin with.I like these joysticks a lot, I've purchased two and in my opinion they're a great value and offer a unique and very enjoyable control option for the NES/SNES Classic systems. The joysticks themselves are Sanwa JLFs with a square restrictor gate, and the 2 primary buttons are 30mm size with microswitches. They also feature cool variable-speed turbo functionality with a led indicator that pulses with the turbo-speed setting; it's somewhat flawed in that on so many games the slowest speed is too fast or on some games if it's on it'll always fire even when you don't press the button it's on for--so that aspect is disappointing at times, but I'm still very happy to have the functionality and enjoy it for the games it works well with. It comes with a ball top and bat top for the joystick so you can use whichever you prefer. I like the packaging and it comes with cool simple strategy guide for the NES Classic's included games.Given the price of this unit ($13.99 at the time of my purchase) in my opinion you could not buy the components let alone have something ready to roll with your Classic system for anywhere near what they're selling it for. If you have a Classic and you like using a joystick, I highly recommend this item.

It's a cheap made product but works ok. We spent $12.00 on it so it's about what I would expect. I would not spend more than that on it but for that price, I am fine with it.

The box was damaged badly, as a collector of video games when shipping something like this it should not just come wrapped in a plastic grey bag and call it a day, cause it will get damaged during shipping. Other than that, the joystick works great and I suppose that’s what’s important that it works well which it does, but like I said being a video game collector this is u acceptable.
