    I was really excited when I was able to purchase this Joystick along with my NES Classic. It really brings back the Nostalgia when playing my NES games.

    Great controller with 9ft long cable. Better than the one the classic comes with.

    Confirmed... does not work on NES MINI Classic

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Very much confirmed. Even though this joystick is a wonderful replica of the old NES Advantage joystick it does not work. The most thing that happens is it will light up when you push the turbo buttons. You can hold down A or B or BOTH and the LED will flicker depending on where you have the knob dialed up for turbo. Other than that it does nothing. I think its a massive manufacturing defect. BestBuy should PULL this product. On a lighter note the book that comes with is is pretty cute and provides you with the nostalgia factor of going into a game-guide for hints/codes/cheats. That's the BEST part of this.

    Didn't work out of the box

    After plugging this into the NES mini, I was excited to see the turbo lights show up, but disappointed when it didn't work in the menus or any of the games I tried. I'm willing to assume that I just got a bad product, so I will altar my review if I can find a replacement that works. Emphasis on IF I can find a new one.

    I was lucky enough today to get two of these joysticks for two mini nes systems I bought (wife bough one with me). Neither of the two joysticks we bought work. I'm wondering if the manufacturer even tested their product. I will be willing to bet that there are many more people in my shoes.

    I stood in line today to purchase the New Mini NES. When I purchased this item I also purchased the Emio Edge Joystick. Upon arrival at home the Joystick does not work. I took it back to Best Buy and every store is sold out ugh.

    Beware, does not work with the NES Classic Mini

    This does NOT work with the NES Classic Mini. The instructions say it will recognize it after turning on the power but although the lights light on it, it does not work. Give it some time before ordering and see if the company fixes whatever it is that is wrong with the design. If people want to see more proof it does not work, as this is the first review here, read the numerous other reviews on that other 'Am.z.n' website for this product.
