Sensel’s customizable Morph touch-pad controller for Mac & iOS is now available

We were introduced to Sensel’s Morph all-in-one input controller a couple years back as it navigated its way through successful crowdfunding campaigns and significant enhancements in development. It is described as a “revolutionary” input device that can seamlessly morph to meet your creative needs at any given moment. The keyboard meets drum pad meets gaming controller system has now been finely-tuned and is finally ready to be released to the wild…

Phorus intros wireless multi-room Sonos One competitor w/ Alexa

$250

The Phorus DTS whole home audio solution is getting a substantial upgrade today. The company’s current lineup of speakers is designed to rival that of some pretty weighty competition, including the likes of Sonos and even the Amazon Tap. So the announcement of a larger Alexa voice service-compatible unit is certainly a welcomed addition to the lineup.

Nintendo’s New SNES-themed 3DS XL + Mario Kart coming holiday 2017, pre-order now

Pre-order

A couple months ago, Nintendo unveiled one of the most impressive options in its 3DS line yet. At the time, European gamers were treated with a New 3DS XL designed to look like the classic SNES system from overseas, but there was no sign the machine would be coming stateside. While some of us (other than the lucky winner of our giveaway) won’t get a chance to own one of those special little SNES Edition consoles Nintendo re-released, the New 3DS XL SNES Edition is now here to fill the void.

This Nintendo Switch clone can play thousands of retro NES/SNES/N64 games [Video]

Just last month Nintendo announced that most of its classic arcade titles from back in the day would be making their way to Switch. Certainly exciting news for nostalgic gamers, but we are still waiting for a proper, full-blown retro game store for NES and SNES titles, among others. While many of us will have to stick with PC-based emulations, some tinkerers are sick of waiting for an official storefront and less-than-ideal desktop ROMs.

We recently published a detailed breakdown of how to create your very Retro Pi gaming console from scratch using nothing but readily-available consumer products. And just recently we spotted a homemade Nintendo Switch clone designed by Tim Lindquist to play just about any vintage title you can think of.

IK Multimedia has had a solid year thus far, releasing some of the most versatile and affordable gear for mobile musicians out there. The company has positioned itself quite well ahead of the looming holiday buying fiesta, having already released new flagship models of all its most popular gear. Some of which include the new iRig Keys I/O MIDI Controller, the iLoud Micro Monitors, the Syntronik virtual instrument suite and the iRig Pro I/O we recently went hands-on with. Just with those products alone, that about rounds out what any mobile producer or beginner would ever need, but IK isn’t done just yet.
