Its not there, if its USELESS

Kids born in 80's and 90's all love the Family Computer (FamiCom), the Asian version of Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

But ever wonder why there is a MIC part in the 2nd Controller, rather that having both Select and Start button, just like on the Player 1 controller?

Well here is a USE of it. In the game Zelda no Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy, there is a enemy named Pols Voice, and the creatures HATES loud Noises. So with a loud noise using the Mic on 2nd Controller, the creatures will be eradicated.

Another game that uses MIC in 2nd Controller is the game Hikari Shinwa - Palutena no Kagami or Kid Icarus in the West. 

While in a shop, player could hold the A button and speak to the Mic to haggle the price of the items being sold in the shop.

If that is not enough for you, here is a short TV Commercial of a man named Takeshi, while holding a FamiCom controller, he yelled at it and instantly a Map appears on the TV Screen.

How about you, do you have memories of using the Mic in the 2nd Controller of the Nintendo FamiCom? let us know in the Comment section below.
