World's Largest NES Controller

**Datleco** · 04-13-12

The Guinness World Record for largest Nintendo Entertainment System controller has been shattered. The new record controller, created by British electrical engineering student Ben Allen with co-creators Stephen van’t Hof and Michel Verhulst measures a jumbo 12 feet across by 5 foot 3 inches wide. Don’t try putting this on your lap because it weighs in at a hefty 250 plus pounds. And it’s playable!

Heck yeah!

Looks like Punchout will be even more fun to play when you have a competent person to play with. Contra however.... ohhhh boy....

Not really, you just need two good friends playing. I am sure me and my best friend could beat contra working together.

It would be much harder for castlevania cause of how stiff its controls are, contra, though, the guy on the right really only needs to focus on jumping, he can just mindlessly tap the fire button.

Oh boy, Castlevania will be hell for the players trying to get to Death/Grim Reaper. Just alone was indeed incredibly difficult, axes thrown and coming back so perfectly horizontal isn't wise, Medusa heads wave pattern keeps you grounded or careful to jump, then the knights themselves go back and forth so you have to tread slower to get to them. Each hit in this hall way takes 4 life bars away. So 3-4 hits and you're dead.
For Contra, you will also need to coordinate with your friend who can guide you in any situation. You might need three people instead of just one for the Konami code for the 30 lives.

Playing most games with this controller would require a huge amount of team work and cordination, looks fun to have though.

*Konami code.

For Contra, Not really, if the guy moving the controls is good, and the friend cooperates its not that hard. You kinda oversell how hard that game is, cause Super C, Contra Hard Corps and Contra 3 are harder, waaaay harder.

Thanks for the correction, my mind was elsewhere when typing.
I didn't play the ones for Super NES so this is why I give Contra so much praise and hell.
