    Question Does anyone know where this controller is from?

    Hi, a little while back at a thrift shop, I found this NES controller (pic attached). It appears to have some sort of party theme with a year around the buttons that looks like 1993, although it is slightly worn off. Also, there is what looks like some sort of compass on the d-pad. On the back it reads:

    Nintendo
    Controller
    ---------
    Model No.: NES-004
    Made in Japan

    Does anyone know where this is from? I have been wondering about its origin for quite some time now.
    The statement below is false.
    The statement above is true.

    It's a standard NES controller with one of the stickers from an issue of Nintendo Power. I actually put one on one of my controllers. They had some for SNES controllers too. Unfortunetly, they tend to wear off easily and they aren't so easy to get off if you want to remove them.

    Why take it off, 1993 was such a good year.
    Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.

    Agreed. I graduated high school in '93, along with the Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills 90210 kids.
