Messiah 2.4GHz Wireless NES Limited Edition Controller Set

Hey all, long-time lurker, just registered to point out my latest auction to everyone, I've finally decided to part ways with my Messiah LE 2.4GHz Wireless NES Controllers.  Complete package, everything included, and absolutely mint condition.

One thing I like to point out on these, is that owning this set is the only way to use the Messiah Arcade Stick with anything other than the Generation NEX console.  The stick never shipped with a receiver, it just used the one built in to the NEX console.  However, it was compatible with the Limited Edition receivers, so if you own this, you can use the Arcade Stick anywhere you can plug in an NES controller (which, trust me, is really cool if you have a NES-to-USB adapter).



And yeah, I know not everyone likes the thumbstick style dpad, or the angled A/B buttons, but c'est la vie, as they say.

  • The sticks may be good, but I'll never forget when these were first released. I ordered a set, Messiah never shipped, I was screwed out of the money (which was a good amount for a college kid at the time). Not hard to imagine why their products never took off, with service like that.



    Good luck with the sale though!
  • Weird, I ordered a bunch of their stuff (LE NES and SNES controllers, Gen NEX, and arcade stick), got it all no problem.



    My main beef with them was that a) the Gen NEX kinda sucked for compatibility (was really bummed when I found out Castlevania 3 didn't work), and b) they never released standalone receivers for their controllers, so if you missed the LE run of the NES controllers, you could never use their gear on anything but their system.  The controllers would have taken off like crazy if they weren't married to the NEX, but they tried to do an artificial lock-in with their system, so when the system tanked, the controllers did, too.  Open and compatible is the only way to roll.
  • Just wanted to mention there's 1 day left on these if anyone's interested. Also, I'm selling 4 platinum Wavebirds in great condition, not too terribly exciting, but thought I'd mention them.
