Amazon is probably making a game console, and today we've got a better idea of what that console's controller looks like thanks to Dave Zatz and the Brazilian FCC. The standards are all there: two offset, concave analog sticks, four buttons (A/B/X/Y) on the right front, a d-pad in the lower left, and triggers/shoulder buttons around back/up top. What's weird about this particular controller, however, are the other buttons.
Amazon has spent the last 15 years plus trying to disrupt Steam's gaming market, but have ultimately failed to "crack the code."
If you're an active Amazon Prime member, here's a big collection of games you can grab for free right now for your Steam Deck or gaming PC.
First-party Nintendo games have not been available on Amazon US for months.
The beef is that Amazon wants a higher percentage of the sales of Nintendo games. That's the beef. Same thing they pulled with Sony and Disney blu-ray movies.
Nope. If anything it's gotten worse in recent months as you can't get digital gift cards for the Switch in the US anymore.
Oh my. That’s a real issue. Because it’s impossible to find gift cards for Nintendo in the hundreds of other online and physical retailer.
"Following the success of Android-based gaming boxes like Mad Catz's Mojo Micro Console and Ouya.."
funny, you must have a completely different definition of the word success. Ouya had a successful Kickstarter Campaign.... as for its impact in the marketplace??? Not so much.
I actually hope they come swinging with a serious challenger to the Big 3. Not just some android console.
The more competition the better :)
Hmm I'm just have to see it in action before judging.
I wonder if there's so sort of licensing deal with Microsoft. That thing looks insanely close to the xbone controller.
Maybe this is where the rumors came from that amazon and Microsoft were talking.
The controller looks cheap assuming its real this must be a budget andriod thingy!
