The
NES64 is a replacement PCB for use in an existing controller for the
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It brings one of the most popular
and arguably best of the early game console controllers to the Commodore
64, Amiga, Atari and other retro home computers.
The
NES64 can be installed in either an original Nintendo controller or in a
currently reproduced clone controller. Either way, it may be installed in
a way that keeps your working (and perhaps even antique) controller
fully restorable to its original state. With this listing, the board comes installed in a reproduction controller case, ready to plug in and use.
It
features a switch that lets you jump in most games using the A
button (Nintendo style) instead of the up-arrow (Commodore joystick
style).
Fully assembled:
Delivered fully assembled and ready to use. The included case is not an original Nintendo case,
rather a recent reproduction.
You may also remount the NES64 into your own
original Nintendo case. However in this case, you way want to re-solder (or remove) the switch if you don't want to drill a hole in your original case.
The controller will come with approximately 1.8 m of cable attached.
Please note: Current reproductions of NES controller cases come in a huge variety from many different manufacturers. They are mostly
identical, and they are all made to resemble the original controllers.
However, they may still have differences, and this means that you may get a case
that does not resemble the original controller entirely when it comes it
its colour. Some manufacturers have gone for light grey, and some seem
to have gone for a darker shade. I will not supply cases that differ
wildly (such as red, blue, different button layouts, etc.), I will
always try to source cases that *mostly* match the originals. However,
colour/shade may differ over time as my sourcing changes.
