NES The Nintendo Turbo

[Thomas Ennis]

Do you guys remember then Nintendo controllers, with the turbo buttons? I remember have one with a joystick; but for the life of me, I can't remember what it was called. My dad didn't want to pay for a second one, so he added a turbo button to one of our old NES controllers. This was years ago, when he was still an engineer : )

Turbo buttons and a joy-stick? It sounds like you're thinking of the NES Advantage:

The NES Max also had turbo buttons, but no joystick:

I never owned the NES Max but I STILL own the Advantage. It blows that it takes both of the controller slots to use but it's worth it on certain arcade style games. A friend of mind has connected his to a cabinet with a regular television and NES fitted into it. It looks phenomenal. I, personally, just store mine until I feel the need to pull it out.

My friend had a NES controller with turbo buttons. I always hated them and thought they're fake.
I love the classic NES controller, nothing can replace it

Yes! The Advantage! Thank you for the reminder. We only purchased one because my dad started making them.
