Amazon Fire TV Stick now comes with a wireless game controller in India. Amazon’s latest deal lets customers get a Bluetooth-enabled Micromini X Ninja controller without paying the original cost. The move is intended to boost the Fire TV Stick’s gaming capabilities, which are limited as it uses a modest processor that is more suitable for streaming than running graphics-heavy games.
However, the new bundle comes with a caveat. Amazon has listed the Fire TV Stick on its website with steps on how to get the game controller. This includes adding the Fire TV Stick to the cart with a Micromony X Ninja game controller which will be available on the same page. The total cart price will include the cost of the controller, which you will need to pay in advance. This means you will be paying the price of the Fire TV Stick model plus the cost of the controller, which is Rs 1,899. Amazon, however, will credit your Amazon Pay account with a cashback of Rs 750. This means you are paying a discounted price of Rs 1,149 for the controller.
Thus, the effective price of the Micromin X Ninja controller drops to zero and you get it for free with the Fire TV Stick. This offer is valid for Fire TV Stick models such as Fire TV Stick 3rd Gen, Fire TV Stick Lite and Fire TV Stick 4K. Specifically, the price of your cart will vary according to the price of the model you choose.
The Micromin X Ninja comes with a transparent body, so you can easily see the internals of the device and find out what’s going on inside a controller. Although many users won’t be upset, transparent designs have become a craze lately. Popular by brands like Nothing, however transparent designs are not for everyone. But given that the controller will be available for a lower price, the look can be overlooked if you are not into such designs.
In terms of features, the Micromini X-Ninja controller comes with vibration feedback and motion sensing. There’s also a joystick and a D-pad for navigating the game. It can also be used with gaming consoles. But if you are going to play games on Fire TV Stick, you can expect only light games considering the hardware limitations.
Buyers can now get a discount on the Amazon Fire TV Stick wireless game controller that first appeared on BGR India.
