Is it worth getting?
>>
>>12360512
No it sucked but having turbo buttons was kind of cool
>>
It was worth getting in 1993, but not today.
>>
>>12360515
This. Turbo buttons were a must for some games, but the d-pad is superior for every game I tried.

The NES Advantage was designed and manufactured by a Japanese company called Asciiware.

Sexy device

For you, yes. It will really help you fit in with your discord buddies.
>>12360516
It was never worth getting
>>
>>12360512
i remember using tis to beat smb 3 when i was five. i had a lot of fun with it.

it was probably shit, but i was too young to care.
>>
>>12361087
>beat smb3 when I was five
bullshit, you might have made it to world 8 but you didnt clear it
>>
>>12360512
Not really. It's a toy joystick made to fool consumers who don't know any better. It's nothing like an arcade lever. Most of them tended to gather dust after the owner realized they were doing better with the control pad.

These days, it's a historical curiosity.
>>
>>12360525
Famiclones sold in central and eastern Europe often came with turbo buttons
>>
>>12360512
As others have noted, the advantage is great for mash heavy non platformers but not much else.
>>
>>12361118
3 didn't even have the made castle like 1. It's definitely easy enough for a five year old with nothing but time in his hands to beat.
>>
>>12361869
all of world 8 is significantly harder than any level in smb
>>
>>12360512
>>12360532
>>12360601
If you use this you didn't beat the game
>>
>fight stick for a console without fighters
>>
>>12360512
Not really. It's cool, but the domed stick is pretty bad, and only barely suitable for topdown games.
I'd break it out on occasion as a kid, just because it looked and felt cool (and because it was our only turbo), but only use it for a little while before going back to the gamepad, because the stick was simply worse than a DPad.

>>12360516
Dubious. If you retrofitted one now for a microswitched stick it could be cool, but it was poor for playing on as is even by the standards of the time.

>>12360532
I'm assuming he wants the arcade-ish feeling of a stick, otherwise he would have asked about conventional turbos.

>>12361087
Impressive if true. Warpwhistle?
>>
>>12362086
Probably not, because the advantages of the turbo were in most people's cases offset by the disadvantage of the stick.
I don't mind turbo for a few games, since some of them would promote RSIs at my age.
>>
>>12362261
I don't think i was smart enough to find them back in 90. Pretty sure it was just a couple months solid of slamming into brick walls until i just lucked into winning. >>12361904
>a bunch of autoscrollers is harder than all of smb
Lol
>>
>>12360512
Yes.

>>12362086
Stay out of 4chan Mike.

>i concur with the other children

>>12360601
Based. You could clobber someone with this thing, it's that solid. I completed Famicom Gradius II with this one, shit was so cash.
