Hayauchi Meijin Takahashi-kun (早打名人高橋くん)

[UglyJoe]

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.

[P]

It's as neat as its name.

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).

Holy shit I need one of these.

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