Messiah Brings New Class To Old School Gaming

Messiah's SNES and NES Wireless Controllers!
Messiah's SNES and NES Wireless Controllers

Gamers today have it easy. Wireless controllers, big screen TVs, polygons- we didn't have these things back in the day. We had 8 bit graphics, cheesy synthesizer music and two buttons to choose from on our controllers. We did, however, have great games: Super Mario Brothers, Zelda, Castlevania, etc. Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to break out that old NES and SNES and play them with some of today's conveniences? Well those digital deviants over at Messiah have you covered with their 2.4GHz wireless controllers for the original Nintendo and Super Nintendo Entertainment Systems. Their old school controllers employ the same R.F. wireless technology that today's controllers use.

But can you really teach an old dog new tricks? Absolutely; no dog likes being on a leash. We tested both controllers for the NES and SNES and were floored by the results. The range is simply incredible. From thirty feet away we were playing with no lag time; and since they use radio frequency, line of sight issues never come into play. It truly is a thrill to sit down and play Contra and Donkey Kong Country on a big screen TV from the comfort of the couch without miles of cable strung across the floor. And anyone who has ever accidentally pulled a controller chord out of the port during a heated race in F-Zero will love the convenience of these controllers.

Limited Edition Kit!

Great pains were taken to make the controllers look and feel like the originals, but a few extra features have been included to enhance the experience. For instance, a 360 degree rotating D-pad has replaced the familiar X style D-pad and a turbo feature has been added. And for an extra level of cool, the Limited Editions come with a pair of controllers packaged in an individually numbered, old-style metal lunchbox. The comic book style instruction manual and dog tags are nice touches too.

Bottom line is if you enjoy breaking out the games of your misspent youth and would like to take your enjoyment and appreciation of them to the next level, then the 2.4 GHz controllers from Messiah are for you. For about fifty dollars, you can get the Limited Edition of either the NES or SNES controllers which come with two wireless controllers, two receiving units, batteries, dog tag, comic book instructions and a protective lunchbox style metal case.
