History[]
Primary Canon History[]
Ghostbusters II[]
A NES Advantage Controller was salvaged for spare parts by the Ghostbusters. It came into use when the team decided to slime the Statue of Liberty and use it to confront Vigo. It was not meant to completely control the Statue of Liberty but to merely guide it to the Manhattan Museum of Art. As a result, a few police cars were stepped on by the statue.
Ghostbusters: Back in Town[]
In June 2022, the NES Advantage Controller was in a glass case in the Firehouse garage bay.
Secondary Canon History[]
After the Vigo incident was resolved, the controller was remanded to a shelf on the second floor of the Firehouse. The NES Advantage Controller was re-purposed after the Chi-You incident. It was attached to a console used to operate the Interspatial Teleportation Unit.
