homerwannabee Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) I have been having trouble finding out anything about this controller it says it was made by Honest Soft Co. LTD. But I can't find anything. Here are some pics. Edited June 19, 2007 by homerwannabee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumdogg Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Oh hey, i just saw that exact same controller in a game store a couple weeks ago. I was wondering about it myself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretthorror Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 It looks just like another controller I have, except a different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Was this a import controller for the Famicom(NES)? Am not for sure but i could of sworn i seen one of these at a local gameshop a while back. Maybe a limited edition controller perhaps or even a knock-off one for one of thoses pirate famicom game systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2600Lives Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I believe they are repro Famicom controllers. You can get 'em at Game X Change for 10 bucks, I believe. Cool looking, but I'll stick with my NES Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like an NES connector. I THINK it's a 15-pin D-sub connector, which makes it a FamiCom pad. But I'm not sure, and if it's a 9-pin connector, it's a Famiclone pad.

2600Lives Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm almost positive it's got the same connector as the US NES system, or at least, all the ones I've seen at GXC have the US style plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 The connector has 15 holes. So maybe it is some kind of Famicon pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari5200 Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 i've seen the same controller or at least very very similiar controllers at 2 different game stores in my area. I've never paid any much attention to them as I already have a crap load of nes controllers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 The connector has 15 holes. So maybe it is some kind of Famicon pad. Yeah. I'd go so far as to say it HAS to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscott27 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I've got one of those with an earphone jack on it, for some reason I thought it was a beeshu but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot that look really similar. Was your's one of the ones that "added stereo"? I gather a few of the ones with headphone ports had some gimmick where they adjusted the audio to the left or right depending on which direction you pushed the d-pad.

NES Console Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 lol it's a damn famicom connector I have like 20 of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Yeah, I believe it was one of the Turbo JoyCards designed for the FC. I can see a DB15-F connector (plugs into the expansion port of the FamiCom). It's just nothing more than an external turbo controller. Nothing special.

NES Console Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 not really ... I mean here we used to have Famicons with both 9 pin connectors and 15 pin connectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
