So, I know about the NTDEC/ASCII Stick Turbo Jr., but was there ever a Famicom version of the NES Advantage, sort of like the NES and BPS Max?

I have one of these I think they're probably the closest equivalent.  Famicom didn't have everything first party like NES did though.

I'm starting to think there are two versions of this stick - one signed and one not signed.  As in mine has a Taka Meijin signature on that looks printed (not handwritten with pen).

There are other Famicom sticks as well, but nothing that is a one for one Famicom version of the NES Advantage, like the Famicom Robot and The NES ROB, for example.

Oh. The ASCII sticks are pretty close I've heard.

But, you could always use an adapter to hook a NES Advantage up to the EXT port  ;)

Also, those Hudson joysticks look pretty cool, they remind me of British computer joysticks like the ones for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64.

I'm assuming you could use a NES Advantage on an AV Famicom - or does that not work?  I know the regular NES gun doesn't so maybe not...
