Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have received my shipment of the Messiah Wireless SNES Controllers (from the website itself, if you are looking for some they sell them there since Amazon seems to be out, just type Messiah in Google and click on Messiah Entertainment, Inc.). For the price, I got a few cool little trinkets and things - nothing too mind blowing though. The Special Edition comes with a lunch box, a Messiah dog tag, a manual, and two controllers with receivers.
I have mixed feelings for the controller. For one definite plus, they are wireless, each with four channels to use for connection (in case you feel like getting four of them (you rich person you)). There is also a Turbo feature and a Slow feature, which basically speak for themselves if you've ever bought a third party controller before - Turbo makes (a) button(s) repeat itself over and over (you can just specify one button, a few, or all buttons on this controller), and slow basically pauses the game over and over, creating a "slow" effect.
These buttons (Turbo and Slow), along with Start and Select, are "touch sensitive". From my experience, you still need to give them just a little push, so they aren't REALLY touch sensitive, but they work as far as buttons go.
And L(eft) and R(ight) shoulder buttons are fine. No complains here. But who says I'm complaining? I haven't even started with the major complaint, because the rest of the controller is great...
With the minor exception of the "D-pad". Or, Direction Pad, if you aren't in the know. It's not much of a D-pad itself, it's taken more of the analog sticks we've known for today, like the XBox's S controller (indent for your thumb). Whats weird is that you can spin the nob on the controller as you please, but really does nothing. Why couldn't there be a traditional D-pad, as long as it didn't infringe on Nintendo's patent? Yobo did it. Other third party controllers do it for todays controllers... So why did they feel like adding it here?
It's not the exact same precision as the official SNES controller, but after a few minutes (or hours, depends on who you are) of playing with the D-knob, it doesn't seem so bad. It kind of grows on you... So there really isn't a complaint here, it's just adjusting to the thing is awkward with the first few times of play.
Me, I highly recommend this controller if you are still a SNES enthusiast, if you still dust off SNES carts and give them a go and hate wires, or you want a weird product to go with your weird FC Twin System (guilty as charged). If you don't like adapting to new things, if you can't stand third party controllers, if you are a super SNES l33t person, stay away from these. I love playing Super Metroid on my wide screen without people coming over and tripping over the cords. :)
