SUPER ADVANTAGE®
That "it's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game" stuff is a bunch of garbage. That's why we've got two ways to keep you winning: the Super Advantage and asciiPad,™ both for the Super NES.® They've got the kind of enhancements you need for today's fiercest games—features like TURBO-FIRE (up to 32 shots per second), hands-free AUTO TURBO and SLOW-MOTION CONTROL. With all these killer features and cool styling, it's no wonder they're the #1 enhanced controller for the Super NES. So take your pick, and then take on the neighborhood. With this kind of power, you'd just better learn how to be a gracious winner.
IT'S HOW TO WIN.
