"I`m almost there! Just one more hit! Come on!" All the sudden,
Tyson does his signature move and you fall to the floor, without
any hope of getting back up. "This piece of junk of a controller!
If it would have had a turbo mode, he`d be on the ground cryin` for
his mommy!" Although this may be just your excuse for your horrible
playing skills, your blisters are telling you, "GET A NEW CONTROLLER!"
This month`s poll should aid you in deciding what is the best
controller for your money, and, most importantly, your game. The
results will be posted in next month`s issue.
*The eBay prices DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING!*
*Expect to pay anywhere between $3 to $10*
Controller #1: NES Advantage by Nintendo
| Features: This is my personal favorite and Nintendo didn`t scrimp on features. It`s got an arcade-style joystick, large buttons, and a turbo and slow feature for each button. The slow feature is near useless, because it pauses the game a million times a second. Average eBay Price: $4.50 | |
Controller #2: NES Max by Nintendo
| Features: This controller isn`t bad. It`s almost the shape of a PlayStation controller, but a bit smaller. It also has seperate turbo buttons for each. In place of the crosspad, there is a round shaped button that you push and finally then, move around. Not bad. Average eBay Price: $4.50 |  |
Controller #3: "Dog Bone" by Nintendo
| Features: This controller was bundled with the new top-loading system. All in all, it`s pretty much the same as the controllers that came with your system, but easier on your hands. With slanted A and B buttons and rounded edges, it would work as a great replacement. Average eBay Price: $0.00 (There aren`t enough on eBay to average!) |  |
Controller #4: Standard controller by Nintendo
| Features: These came with your old NES so you know pretty much that there aren`t very many eye-popping features. Just your bare essentials. A downfall for addicts, there are no rounded corners for your hands. It really isn`t that bad of a replacement, especially when you are a low-budget high-school student. Average eBay Price: $1.00 |  |
Controller #5: Other Controllers
