NES 2 revisited

NES 2 with dogbone controller
For some reason I’m still fascinated with the NES 2 and its history and can’t get enough of the dogbone controllers which were a huge improvement over the originals. Wikipedia writes: “The NES 2 is a compact redesign of the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) video game console from Nintendo.
