31. May 2009 at 09:04
 
I have recently bought an AV Famicom because my top loader finally died on me and im just getting sick and tired of wired controllers since i love the Famicom and it works perfectly so im asking if any one knows were i can buy the Messiahs Wireless Limited Edition controllers so that my NES can finally be wireless. Thank you for the help!

I have some of these and they aren't very good.  They are finicky / unreliable, and they have a analog style joystick instead of a control pad which can't tell what direction you are trying to push.

I just bought the Messiah wireless advantage on amazon.com for $45 on sale.  The wireless pads are still like $50 I think you can get them here:

I highly recommend these for any "free motion" games such as sports games and games where you can roam around the screen which is great with the circular "disc" pad.  It's horrible for precision games like platformers where you have to have definite left, up, down, right movement because you tend to hit a lot of angles with the disc and it screws up jumps or sudden back and forth movements.  I've loved mine and I got them when they first came out.

I also got the system Messiah put out and its awesome except for the sound which is horrible for some reason.  I know a lot of people knock it because there were a couple of games that won't work with it and it uses the standard nes-on-chip clone but I like the dual slots for famicom and nes games.  It's definitely not for the purist collector but is defintely great to just play games on with your friends.

I bought 2 of these controllers a couple years ago along with the RF receivers.  I thought they would be perfect to use in the bedroom so that I could lay in bed and play NES wirelessly on my TV that is mounted on thew all.  In practice, it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped since I don't like the free motion direction pad.  I think these controllers were a great idea, but not executed as well as they could have been.
