It's astounding that, despite all the eBay auctions we've followed and Nintendo oddities we've researched, there are still so many Famicom (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/Famicom/) accessories out there that we've never seen, much less heard of. Thankfully, an obsessive Japanese collector has put up a page documenting these rare controllers and peripherals, like Hori RF adapters and Disk System cleaning sprays. Check out the Hyper Shot Zapper-clone pictured above -- can you believe that Bandai (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/Bandai/) made a submachine gun for the Famicom? Jump past the post break for more Famicom odds and ends.

Isn't this Sanwa stick beautiful? Chasing the Neo Geo Stick 2 (http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/tag/neo-geo-stick-2/) has become second priority, now that we know about this fantastic piece. Apparently, there's a whole world of Famicom joysticks and third-party controllers (http://www.ne.jp/asahi/oroti/famicom/cont00.htm) that we never knew about.

They had inflatable motorcycle controllers back then? Where's our inflatable kart controller?
