This week’s best gaming deals: Nier Automata, Dark Souls Vinyl, The Surge, and more

By Jamie Wallace

We’re back from a brief break with another round of the very best that the internet had to offer when it comes to discounts on games, tech and other fun stuff you may just like. As usual, we’ve got deals that’ll work in the UK, deals that’ll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let’s get started.

Hyperkin Smart Boy

You may have read about the Hyperkin Smart Boy when it was unveiled earlier this year, given that it’s a relatively insane idea that has somehow become a real thing. Essentially, this is a little cradle for your smart phone that will not only give you physical buttons themed after the original Game Boy but will, in fact, also let you play actual Game Boy and Game Boy Colour cartridges on your phone via an emulator. It’s really weird and kind of fantastic and it’s available to pre-order now at Play-Asia, if you like.

Hyperkin Smart Boy (Pre-order) for £54.23 / $69.99 from Play-Asia

Figma Figures

Figma, for those who have never heard of the brand, is an ongoing collection of some of the most detailed and poseable action figures around. There has been Figma renditions of everything from popular anime characters, movie stars, video game characters and comic book heroes and villains. If you’re the kind of person who would proudly display a mini version of your favourite pop culture character, you’re going to want to see what Figma are on offer over at Play-Asia currently.

UK Deals

nier_automata_box_art

Nier: Automata is currently reduced down to its lowest price so far on PS4 – £24.99 over at Amazon UK. Getting the first ending alone will take you numerous hours, let alone the other 25 endings the game genuinely has, so there are far worse ways you could spend £25, let’s be honest.
