Title: WTB: SNES controllers (Bellevue, NE, US)
Post by: bartre on March 06, 2010, 09:11:57 pm: hey, i'm seriously in need of some super nintendo controllers.
only looking for official ones.
i'm not too worried about condition, just as long as they work, and aren't falling to pieces.
I'm not really looking to pay more than $10 shipped per controller.
anyone wanna hook a brother up?

Does it say nintendo on the top of the controller, or does it say super nintendo, like this one?

yeah, from what i've read, that's the only way to tell without actually having the controller in your hands.
i've used those clones before, and there's no comparison between them and the original nintendo brand ones.

I hate the clones.

Why? IMHO I have had my "clone" snes controller for like 10 years and haven't had any single problem with it, while the "original" lasted like 3 years. I have the clones.
