Have you done any research on this controller, because I did. I found it wasn't easy to find out much about it at all. I did read somewhere too that it is an after market, that much wasn't too hard to find out, because it's easy enough to see the what originals did look like. The packaging is odd, because it looks like Nintendo put these out and I have also seen someone selling a snes with the same packaging on Ebay.. So made me think that this might of been a re-release of the snes that happen like 5 years later. One thing I did find, everyone that was selling these, be it very few, had them priced fairly high, one guy claims his were still in the shrink wrap @ $150. but I am not sure they were ever shrinked wrapped. Because I have some that never been used, and makes no sense to save something like this and take the shrink wrap off. Well I was hoping maybe you had some info I didn't have
