Wireless (2.4Ghz) NES/SNES Controllers Coming Soon!
http://www.playmessiah.com/home/
Part of me wants to drop $100 with the quickness..
But, I'm SO picky about my controllers, and that D-Pad looks strange.
I still play my NES and SNES often.. very often.

I dunno. It looks way to funky to be very functional. I would have thought classical gamers would have put more of an emphasis on form but it doesn't seem like it. This is all sight unseen of course.

I'm going to shoot them a couple of emails about the form factor and D-Pad. I'll also be looking out for reviews after the CGE this weekend. The idea of GOOD wireless NES/SNES controllers excites me, but if they don't feel and respond exactly like the Nintendo brands, I'll be hesitant.

I think I'm going to order 1 SNES pad. If it delivers quality, I'll buy another and a pair of NES pads. If it's like the MAX, I could probably get used to it. It just has to FEEL sturdy and be responsive. With as much crazy baseball we've been playing on the beast I don't need my D being jacked by poor controllers.
They've got 2.4 Ghz Genesis pads, 2600 controllers and NES Advantages in the pipeline too.

So I guess the best way to describe it is that it takes the rotating disc of the NES MAX and combines it with an arcade stick.
We did get mixed reviews about this during CGE but most people after using it did like it, it just takes a little while to get used to.
The buttons are also quite different from the original because we removed the rubber key the same as the d-pad. Again we used micro switches and springs. What this does is make the buttons very fast compared to the original as well as make them last longer.
I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks,

I think he might have come here via PJ's emails, but it seems like our new friend playmessiah (welcome to DVDTalk by the way) is a representative of said company that is releasing these beauts: http://www.playmessiah.com/home/
While your not directly plugging your own wares, just be careful... if you'd like to keep your account here.

He didn't start this discussion.. he's simply answering our questions. There's a HUGE difference between creating an account and starting a thread to try and sell something and creating an account to answer questions people have about their posted on an outside forum.

Thanks PJ, wasn't quite sure of the protocol... but your reasoning sounds good.
As for the controllers... $50 for a pair isn't really all that bad... maybe this might be an excuse to go out and find and old NES or SNES.
The lunchbox packaging is priceless!

I got mine recently. I don't like the pad at all. It doesn't feel right. The pad spins and is really sensitive. Trying to go up or down often results in me going up+left or down+left.
It doesn't really make much sense to have a pad like this, since it is not analog and you can only go 8 directions anyways.
Oh well...
