Take that, Apple.

Just a week after that company announced that gaming was coming to its Apple TV device, Amazon responds with a gaming-focused Fire TV. Announced today, the Amazon Fire TV Gaming Edition comes with a controller, a 32GB microSD card, and two games: Shovel Knight and Disney’s Ducktales: Remastered (both are well-received 2D platformers). It costs $140 when it comes out on October 5. Amazon also boasts that the new Fire TV has 75 percent more processing power than the old model.
