In fact, I suspect that I could feasibly use this controller on some RPG’s or puzzle games. Everything about the controller feels sturdy and durable except for the cable.

The buttons were all nice and responsive, though.Īgain, this is a deal-breaker, but at least it’s not AS big a crusty turd as the Tomee NES controller was. Up and down worked just fine, but Bill got killed at least once in Stage 2 thanks to him walking up and right when I just wanted him to go right. It didn’t take too long to notice that Bill would occasionally misinterpret my left or right controls as diagonals, which got irritating after a while. Sticking to the Contra theme, I loaded up Contra III: The Alien Wars, and to my surprise, it actually controls okay – at first. It installs okay, and I set it up in ZSNES.

The box is nothing special, and while the controller itself feels okay, the cord is bizarrely thin. Considering how the last Tomee product did, and how it would have to be compared to the excellent SNES USB controller from last time, I steeled myself for disappointment. Next up is the SNES Retro USB Super Nintendo Controller, again, by Tomee. Except perhaps as a skeet shooting target. Unlike the previous NES controller, which could’ve feasibly been used for some games, I can’t think of anything this controller would be useful for.

The buttons worked great, but without a functioning d-pad, they might as well have been decorations. Calibrating proved to be useless, the problem persisted. Pointing directly up or down failed to work properly as well. Bill was completely flailing around, he looked like he was having some sort of epileptic fit. I could somewhat control my horizontal movement, but aiming was impossible. It installed fine, I set it up in FCEUX, and loaded up Contra. After the first NES USB controller, I hoped it would turn out better this time, but those hopes were crushed faster than a fly under a fat, sweaty ass. Also, weirdly, it has that same indent the last NES USB controller had, but this time without the words “MADE IN CHINA” jutting out of it.īut enough about how it feels, let’s talk about how it plays. The controller itself feels sturdy, the d-pad and buttons feel right, for the most part, but the Select and Start buttons are hard plastic instead of the soft, rubbery buttons of an authentic NES controller.

The box, again, is unimpressive, rather generic. Let’s get to the details.įirst up is the NES USB Controller by Tomee. So I thought, “why not do it again?” I bought three more controllers, it was a teeny bit more pricey this time, $35 for all three, and they were all made by a company called Tomee. The NES controller was kinda crap, but the Saturn controller was okay, and the SNES controller was excellent. So in part 1, I bought three retro USB controllers for a total of $25, and I was somewhat satisfied with my purchase. Retro USB controllers allow you to play games on your computer with controllers from a bygone age, replicas of NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, and N64 controllers can all be purchased nowadays.
