I was looking for a pic of the "Super Controller" that we bought for $5 back when (that pic ^^^ reminded me of them) and I stumbled onto this site of gaming retro goodness. Look at all of this awesome stuff that was ahead of its time!

Great find, now we have proof that the Wii U controller was stollen from  the mega controller which incorporated an LCD screen.

I'll be sure to pull this out the next time Nintendo fanboys try to pull out the inovation argument.

Mega

Released in 1987 by Bandai, the Mega controller was so amazing, they had to plaster MEGA across the face of the controller!

The controller was programmable and allowed you to set buttons to turbo, slow motion etc. A puzzle game could also be played on the LCD screen.

 

 

Oh, you can probably find twenty controllers with screens on them from over the years.  Heck, the Dreamcast had a screen on its memory cards that let you view stats, play mini games, and take 'em with you.  Just look up VMU.
