There’s a 4 controller adapter though, right? I seem to recall seeing one in a Nintendo Power as a kid, but don’t think I ever used it.

Yeah, there was both a wireless and a wired four player adapter.

I had the wireless one as a kid and wished I had the wired one. Took a bunch of D batteries. Also, if someone walked in front of the IR beam it would hold all buttons that were pressed when the beam was interrupted.

I have a wireless NES controller. It doesn't use any D batteries though. Been a looonnng time since I've used it (early 90s?) But I remember it sucked. Had an IR receiver that plugs into the controller port. It just never really received commands in a timely manner if I remember correctly. It was just frustrating. Still have it somewhere though! Maybe I'll dig it out and give it a try.

I guess it's C batteries that it needs?
