If you grew up in the ’80s, you probably have very fond memories of retro video gaming, when everything was 8-bit and 3D was merely a dream. Things have come a long way since then, but we gamers still can’t get enough of retro 2D platform games that we can pick up and play at any time on our handheld devices.
And what better way to do that than with a physical controller designed to look and feel just like that of the original Nintendo Entertainment System? The NES30 connects a whole bunch of Bluetooth-compatible devices to enhance your gaming experience, and for a limited time only, you can get yours with 25% off, thanks to Cult of Android Deals.
