To be fair to my retailing and e-commerce clients, preorders will wait until I have an actual arrival date. The factory has confirmed that the first batch is ready for shipment but the harbor has not yet cleared the contents.

I'm aware of the controllers made by Messiah, a friend of mine actually owns a pair. They're great controllers but I would never buy one for myself considering the high price point and lack of compatibility outside of their own system.

RF ain't cheap though and while the lot of you are diehard classic gamers, I have to cater to the more casual crowd, my bosses are not going to spend too much money in development because our retro gaming section is still very small. As a matter of fact, I'm a one man department.

I hope none of you have searched for the Hyperkin 8bit controller because it is downright hideous. I see no real reason to recreate the rectangle original either since those are so widely available. Right now I'm debating a whole new ergonomic oversized design for older gamers, or the original v2.0 dogbone controller.

Some feedback on your ideal NES controllers would be appreciated. I spoke to a few DP members at MGC and I thank them for their insights.
