Is there something Nintendo about it, or just an orange leaf button?

those are special nintendo buttons, the feel / touch of them is different from the normal leaf switch buttons!
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

nope, those aren't original buttons either. orange nintendo buttons (and blue ones) sell for pretty good money, a guyx on KLOV just recently paid 25 bucks for ONE button! :shock:

Yep. Pretty insane. Someone should repro them truthfully....

If you're not anal the one's from Mike's arcade are the only alternative.

Mike's arcade is a good alternative but i prefer to get the original button. 25 dollar is a bit too much, i paid 10 for a blue one a couple of months ago. How difficult can it be to do a repro? The market for them must be big enough.

Seems like getting the right color is the difficult part.
