    This $395 mirror turns your reflection into a Microsoft Paint masterpiece.

    Depending on your age, there’s a good chance Microsoft Paint was your first introduction to creating digital art. The app’s capabilities have improved over the years, but Drought’s new MS Paint Mirror captures the charm of the limited toolset included in the Windows 95 version — just supersized and a lot easier to use.

    8BitDo’s Ultimate 2 controller with anti-drift sticks now supports the Switch.

    After launching the Ultimate 2 controller last February with TMR joysticks and support for Windows and Android devices, 8BitDo has released a new version compatible with the Switch.

    The $69.99 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth controller, available in white or black, is functionally the same as the original (which also supported Bluetooth) but now plays nice with Nintendo’s portable console and features an alternate button label layout for Switch gamers.

    It’s dangerous to go alone. Play this.

    You’ll already find the soundtracks for A Link to the Past, The Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, and Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Music app. But this week Nintendo has finally added music from Link’s first Hyrule adventure on the NES, composed by the legendary Koji Kondo.

    There are 12 tracks from The Legend of Zelda, but also 12 alternate versions from the Japanese Famicom Disk System version which are definitely worth a listen.
