Wyluli Wolf Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I've read thru some threads concerning everyone's favorite controllers for the Nintendo. I'm curious about controllers that have the "turbo" fire option. I'm playing Gunsmoke and I'm determined to find all these hidden posters which requires mad non stop shooting of every inch of the screen! My thumbs are wearing out! I was tempted to get the NES max but it doesn't seem to get a lot of love from some of the reviews I have seen due to the "D-pad" on it. What NES Turbo capable controller would you recommend for games requiring rapid fire? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hmm, well I actually like the NES Max because of the grips. You don't have to use the disc as the ring itself is also a d-pad input. It is a little small though, was much easier to use when I was a kid. The Advantage allows you to toggle the rate of presses on the turbo buttons and the joystick is a bit easier to use than the Max's disc input.

Reaperman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) I currently use the nintendo four score, which lets me relocate my controller ports to a better spot, and use turbo with any nes controllers. 'back in the day' I used a quickshot pad with red oval buttons located above eachoter (for whatever reason). It really sucked, and I strongly advise avoiding that unit.

Rex Dart Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) My only experiences were with the Quicksh*t (it's sh*t), TurboTouch 360 (good but dpad is funkier than Max), and a joystick that included turbo fire. My suggestion is to either get a stick with turbo (like the Advantage) or go the fourscore route as mentioned above.

Wyluli Wolf Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Holy farts! I've only seen the four score about a million times on eBay and at local game stores. I never looked closely at it as I just figured it was for expanding from 2 players to 4 players. I never noticed it had the option for turbo! I must acquire one of these devices! Thanks a bunch! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galeforcerm Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My go to nes controller is the beeshu zipper. It's basically a famicom style pad for the nes and it has 3 different turbo speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically a famicom style pad for the nes and it has 3 different turbo speed How does the beeshu compare to the standard controller? Is it basically the same other than the 3 different turbo speeds as far as control? Same accuracy etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Link Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Recently bought a "turbo" controller for the Gamecube, I say "turbo" 'cause I haven't a single title with which it does anything, maybe I'm doing something wrong? This is the one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Not really related to turbo button, but still about "fast shooting' on the NES/Famicom. Forward to about 5m 30s in to see what controller looks good to use if you want to rapid-fire manually. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xneswc_gamecenter-cx-s01e05-starforce-tv-nihon_fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I feel your pain! My thumbs were destrouyed back in 89 when I finished this game, and I also recommend the fourscore route. But to do it legit, lol, break out the Advil and do it the old fashioned way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Link Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 That Mega looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinChargers Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I would have to say if you don't mind using a joystick, (and what Atari Ager wouldn't), that the NES Advantage would be the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
