It looks pretty cool...price point seems a little bit steep, but I suppose if it's a solidly built controller with good response, it's worth it. I might look at one to add to my arcade rig for when I want the classic NES type controls with certain games.

It is literally either a repackaged NES30Pro or a clone.  Same price point as well.  I'm thinking that XGaming is just reselling them - which is fine.  The NES30 series are great pads.

Yep, Kotaku has been flogging them for months.

I'll never understand nes themed controllers with a buttons layout that can't properly play nes games.

I agree, I can't angle my thumb like that for very long. If they want an SNES control scheme then give it SNES styling too.
