Title: Hayauchi Meijin Takahashi-kun (早打名人高橋くん)
Post by: UglyJoe on March 27, 2021, 07:38:01 pm
Came across this device called the Hayauchi Meijin Takahashi-kun (早打名人高橋くん) on Twitter this morning.  It's a battery-operated device that you attach to a Famicom controller and it will hit the A or B button very very quickly for you (like Takahashi Meijin!).

I guess if you don't have a controller with turbo buttons...

This is actually a really cool idea. A device that turns a regular controller into one with turbo functions sounds like something that should be a lot more common tbh. Wonder if it can be used on more controllers.

It's as neat as its name. ;D

I saw one of those in a store's junk bin years ago but didn't know what it was so I didn't buy it. I regret that decision immensely, those are awesome (not necessarily awesome to use, but the idea behind them is just so cool).

This is one of the cooler things I have seen for the Famicom in a bit.
