No Nintendo classic in stores? I built my own using two old school NES Advantage joysticks.

In 2016, Nintendo had a BIG hit in stores with the Nintendo Classic.

Demand way outstripped supply.  

I wanted a way to play old school nintendo games and relive some of the games I really enjoyed as a teenager with my kids.  I knew I could play the same games and many many more that were on the Nintendo Classic via emulation.  

Even better if I could do so with the real deal old controllers.  

So I found some old Nintendo Advantage joysticks on ebay, found a way to get them to plug into a PC and built a cabinet to hold the whole thing.

 

Check out the video of the build process below.
