Get rid of those wired controllers for your NES Classic, the Nyko Wireless MiniBoss is 25% off: $15 Prime shipped (Reg. $20)

As you likely already know, we are giving away a Special Edition NES Classic bundle with a number of extra goodies this week. And today we have a sweet deal on an extra controller. While we are already packing in an extra controller in the bundle (along with some extensions), only one very lucky winner is going to get their hands on it. Anyone who already has one of Nintendo’s reissued mini consoles will certainly appreciate today’s wireless deal:

Amazon is offering the wireless Nyko MiniBoss for NES Classic Edition controller for $14.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $49. That’s $5 or 25% below the regular price, the lowest Amazon has offered it for and the best we can find. Rated 3.2/5 stars from over 100 customers. Keep in mind, many of the less than stellar reviews are complaints about the wireless range (listed at about 15-feet), which may or may not be an issue for you. You can get more details about it right here and down below.

Sony is finally adding official external hard drive support to PlayStation 4. Since release, gamers have been perplexed with Sony’s lack of support for more storage and considering how big these games/updates are, it’s about time.

The new feature is part of an upcoming update, but in the meantime, beta participants can give it a test run starting today. It will allow for externals up to 8TB in size.

It won’t cost you a nickel to play Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege this weekend. From February 2nd until the 5th, the strategic shooter will be free-to-play on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (uPlay/Steam). This is not a slimmed down demo version either, it offers “all of the maps, modes, and Operators present in the full version, giving you the full Siege experience over the free weekend.”

If you want to buy it after the free period is over, you can do so for “50% off”, according to Ubisoft. We can only imagine that will mean 50% off whatever the price is on the service you are using at the time. So just keep in mind the game is only $20 Prime shipped on Amazon and GameStop right now.

This fan-made Mega Man 2.5D game adds a whole new perspective to the Blue Bomber, now playable for free

A dedicated group of fans/developers have worked over the past eight years to create Mega Man 2.5D, and its finally here. Not only has the rag-tag team introduced some awesome 2.5D visuals across the entire single player campaign, but it also features co-op for two-player action.

While many Mega Man fans have purchased all of the classics at some point or other, 2.5D is mixing things up a bit. To keep things fresh for the single player campaign, the developers have handpicked a series of stages and bosses spanning the entire history of the series. We have some gameplay videos below along with the brand new release trailer and the hideous box art to match the original:

This completely fan created title isn’t affiliated with Capcom in any way but you can download and play it right now.

Secret of Mana is one of the most beloved RPGs of the SNES era, so when Square Enix put in on iOS, and then later added MFI controller support, it was great news for vintage action JRPG fans everywhere. Fortunately enough, Square has decided to put it on sale again for just $3.99, down from its usual $8. That’s matching the lowest price have ever tracks on the excellent iOS port.

iOS Universal: Secret of Mana: $4 (Reg. $8)

As mentioned above, and as with many of these classic ports, Secret of Mana on iOS plays (much) better with an MFI gamepad.

Nintendo had a great 2016 with the mini NES Classic and it is continuing to ride the wave into 2017 with Switch and Zelda Breath of the Wild. Despite it still being somewhere between very difficult and absolutely impossible to get your hands on a NES Classic or even a Switch pre-order at this point, excitement for Nintendo is at an all-time high. We have seen loads of accessories hit the market for Nintendo Switch, new games and even a batch of Breath of the Wild amiibo, but there is no sign of that illusive NES Classic Edition anywhere. At this point, it feels like we are more likely to see Nintendo unveil the SNES Classic. As exciting as that would be, there are still many gamers out there eagerly awaiting the opportunity to brandish the coveted NES re-issue.

Well, you’re not going to believe this…but we got one and we are giving it to you!

Not only do we have the NES Classic mini, we have the NES Classic Zelda Edition Bundle. It includes the console, an NES Classic Wired Controller, two NES ExtendLink Extension Cables and a special edition Zelda Tech Triforce Backpack. As if that wasn’t enough, we have decided to add in both the Mario Modern Color and Mario Classic Color amiibo! I know, insane right?

One (incredibly) lucky winner will get a chance to own this one-of-a-kind 9to5Toys NES Classic Special Edition bundle ($150+ value). We will be revealing all of the details on how to do so this Saturday (February 4th). Be sure to follow 9to5Toys on Facebook and Twitter so you don’t miss your chance to win this amazing package.

Best Buy has one of the most notable deals on the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller we have ever seen today. You can grab a refurbished Elite controller for just $89.99 shipped. This is about $50+ or so under the regular price for a new one ($43 under Amazon) and the lowest total we have tracked for an Elite gamepad. Now we did see them drop to $120 or so and, in some cases, as low as $110 with gift cards and more. But all of those options were over the holidays and limited at best. Rated 3.8/5 stars from nearly 1,950 Amazon customers.

Oceanhorn 2 for iOS is being developed on Unreal Engine 4, check out these insanely gorgeous screens

Avatar for Justin Kahn Jan 30 2017 - 1:33 pm PT
0 Comments

Oceanhorn is one of the best Zelda-style adventure RPGs on the App Store (also available on Mac) and its sequel looks to be taking it up a notch. Developer Cornfox & Bros. announced Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm back in the summer and we are just now getting our first good look at it with a new set of screenshots.

The original was already a very pretty top-down isometric style adventure game, but Oceanhorn 2 is taking the perspective into full 3D with absolutely gorgeous looking Unreal Engine 4 graphics. Unreal not only gives us a massive bump in fidelity but it will also allow the team to port the game to multiple platforms. We know it is coming for iOS and we can likely expect it to hit the Mac App Store, but there is no official word on any other platforms or a release date.

The sequel will take us through another colorful, Zelda-inspired world set in a new timeline. You can expect even more of what was great about the first game: “a deep backstory with secrets and twists, amazing music, and most importantly – classic Action RPG gameplay with items, puzzles, battles, and badass bosses!”

Hey, it might not be Zelda Breath of the Wild, but feast your eyes on these:

Following the enormous success of the shrunken down NES Classic (still out of stock by the way), some modders at the Kei Studio have been able to squeeze the Famicom Mini into an old Game Boy Red case. Just like the NES Classic Edition, this new mod only comes with 30 games pre-installed and it won’t actually play Game Boy games.

The folks at Kei Studio have previously worked on a portable PlayStation 2 and made other attempts at shrinking down consoles. You can take a look at the system in the video below. They’ve dubbed their mod the Famicom Pocket.

After releasing the PS4 Pro and PS4 slim updates last year, it looks like Sony is ready to launch a new colorway. The Glacier White 500GB PS4 Slim is set for release in PAL regions come the end of the month, and while we are yet to hear word on a North American date, chances are it’s on the way.

Not to be confused with the already available Glacier White previous gen PS4 or the Special Edition Destiny model, this is a brand new slim version that will be shipping with a glacier white DualShock 4 to match.

It is expected to hit store shelves in PAL regions come January 24th. In the meantime, we have some solid deals on current gen PS4 bundles and the black DualShock 4 controller.

Nintendo’s mini NES Classic console only comes w/ 30 games, but this guy has almost 90 on his! [Video]

Easily one of the hottest items of last year was Nintendo’s NES Classic Mini console. The thing is nearly impossible to get and when it does go in-stock at major retailers, it goes quick. Very quick. Despite the popularity of the machine, many were disappointed to hear that it will only ever be able to play the 30-games it came with. They are 30 pretty amazing classics, but with such a massive library of beloved titles, it was a pretty big let down.

Razor’s new Blade Pro is the “world’s first portable laptop with three built-in monitors”

Gaming hardware company Razor is revealing the new 17-inch Razer Blade Pro portable gaming system at CES 2017. It is essentially “the world’s first portable laptop with three built-in monitors”. A proprietary “deployment mechanism” designed in-house allows the two additional side screens to slide out from the main display. The three 17.3-inch 4K IGZO displays are housed in a unibody CNC aluminum chassis that weighs in at about 12 pounds and is just 1.5-inches thick.

All of those customized and even synced to game-events color effects you see in the images are powered by Razer Chroma. The keyboard, monitors and trackpad can be lit up with a dazzling array of lighting effects as per the user’s settings. The system is powered by a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 which is more than enough power for VR applications like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, according to Razor.
