Messiah Wireless controllers

[Deadpool]

hi guys, i was looking for wireless controllers for my nintendo systems then i discovered the messiah wireless controllers, no problems with the nes one in amazon are plenty of them, but the snes one is rarer, i went to the page of the company and seems like they broke up or something, and the only one i could find was 180 dollars.

A few years ago they were $60 I have two sets for the nes that cost $30 a pair

Watch out concerning the NES wireless Controllers on Amazon. Those are mostly for the Generation NEX clone NES and won't work with a normal NES as they don't have receivers.

For the real thing concerning NES you'd also have to track down the limited wireless NES controllers which are not as common.

I also managed to snag a pair of the SNEs ones when Messiah was still in business. Sadly the NES ones were allready sold out when I was buying my SNES pair.

so is impossible to get wirerless controless for nes and snes?

Nothing is impossible if you got the dough.

There are also plenty old wireless controllers for SNES/NES out there. Those are IR only though.

I've been regularly searching eBay for a good deal on the Akklaim Wireless SNES controllers, by searching "SNES wireless", and these popped up yesterday. They must be very very new, because I've not seen them before a few days ago, and I can't find any info on them via a Google search.

They appear to be identical to Retro-Bit's RetroDuo Portable Controllers, only wireless and white. I've heard that those controllers are very good, especially in satoshi_matrix's review of the system. Anyone know anything about these?

I just got one of the Retrobit controllers. The controllers themselves are pretty decent. The buttons are a little more though compared to Nintendo ones. The D-pad is actually pretty good too; I hate the ones on the Messiah controllers.

The bad part is that my controller seemed to drop out 2 or 3 times over the course of a game of NBA Jam. There were a couple times my turbo gave out while holding R. Also, I did stop moving once which caused me to actually have to pass the ball.

For reference, I was about 6 feet from the receiver.

You are right about the D-pad. Those are a bit strange on the Messiah controllers. What is true though is that the messiah controllers have much higher build quality than those newer ones from Ebay.

The reception of these is not the best I'm afraid. Not bad but not as good as one would expect.

Yeah I'm more interested in them just to have them for the novelty of it, which is why I'm looking for a good deal.
