Unbelievable! I turned on our Firestick and saw Luna gaming?!?! Looks awesome! I'm hoping more games come in such as Indiana Jones new game WHICH is only for Xbox X/S series or whatever and PS5, and PC all of which I don't have. Hmm $10 a month for cool games.

I noticed something slightly similar on my testing of Luna, but I was playing with a wired controller on PC. I played 3 or 4 different times, and the first time the Castlevania collection had a bad delay that caused me to die on an easy part, and I think one other game. Since that time it's been better, though my second or third time I was getting messages about my connection and noticing intermittent delays. I definitely think some games work better than others. I plan on getting a controller and seeing how that works. My more recent playing of Luna has been better - I know it's beta, so I expect issues as well as improvements. Comparing this to Stadia - I pretty much never have issues / delays with Stadia. It runs smooth on every game (using a Stadia controller and CCU).
Let’s be honest. Stadia is the best cloud gaming platform and thanks to the critics is growing even better and faster! It’s starting to get big games and having just 10 Mbps it plays sooooo smooth like: red dead runs at 60 fps.. it’s just incredible.. the bad thing is that it requires a credit card or a paysafecard account (but for that you have to use an android phone)
Is it true that these will play the tv sound through the 3.5 headphone jack? This would be perfect to be able to play the TV audio through the jack with some headphones while I play and stream movies on my Xreal glasses since my Bluetooth controlles always interfere with my Bluetooth ear buds.
Has anyone actually seen the Amazon Fire controller? They already had that design... just saying. Looks good though. I'm sure things will be smoothed out before public release.
I just found out you can use the controller hooked up to a generic USB outlet in a regular electrical outlet, you dont need batteries I only tried the PS5 Charging cable but sure others will work
With some of the Retro Games, I notice a lot of these reviewers attribute response lag to the luna service or even the controller. Keep in mind many of these older games do have features that seem like lag but are actually made that way by design in order to raise the difficulty of their games for their respective time periods. Castlevania 1 2 and 3 are examples of this design. Clunky controls that require you to commit to your inputs. I did it side by side experimenting with my NES on crt vs my iPad AIR 2 with luna controller via direct server connection. The responses were pretty much the same. And the lags seen were indeed not the service, but Castlevania's design scheme.
Works good on my Chromebook. But only when plugged in. The Bluetooth connects but doesn't move anything. I tested a ps4 controller and works fine. Using browser to play Fortnite.
Thank you for your excellent review!!! Really well done! I subscribed to your channel! I got an invite to get it early - but I think I may just wait it out while they work on some of the bugs - and expand the game list.
Question I thought when you get the Amazon Luna it was supposed to lit up the whole controller so if you want to play at night so you be able to see everything is it true
what's bad for me is that even if i installed the driver for PC and paired it that's good it's working but after 5 min on idle it get disconnected and then i have to delete the device and pair it again it should reconnect automatically when pressing the power button like it would do when i connect it on my phone for example
I'm not sure for the actual Fire TVs themselves. Its not listed as supported in their documentation. So far this is what they have listed for Fire TV based devices. FireTV devices (Fire TV Stick - 2nd gen, Fire TV Stick 4K, or Fire TV Cube - 2nd gen)
Yes it does and all you need is a regular bluetooth controller that pairs with fire tv. I'm using a generic 10 dollar controller I had lying around I used for emulators on the firetv
I don't like subscriptions this is why i really appreciate stadia, i only buy the games i want and eventually do a random pro month to play something interesting
Can you play on the iPhone without WiFi using cellular data? The controller won’t work for me doing that, but it is connected to my phone via Bluetooth
I've not played games since 2010 lol. This looks SO cool and inexpensive. I don't need a huge expensive console. But I want to know if there would be games like: DBZ, Street Fighters, Tekken, Sonic, etc.
No achievements, no parties, no mutliplayer online, controller disconnected a few times on 100mbps, no plug in for ethernet connection. Compared to Stadia I was very disappointed. Cant own games either priced at 8 bucks a month and free trial only 7 days.
With Amazon Luna, how does the subscription service work? Do you have to pay for each game, or are they included with your subscription? I'm asking because one of the games I want to play next year will be on the Amazon Luna service (as well as the newest consoles, and I doubt I'll be able to get my hands on one of those for a while).
They are included in the subscriptions, there are three as of now, luna+ has the main games like control, grid etc. And ubisoft+ has ubisoft games like assassins creed etc. And the Luna family has games for kids like sponge Bob attack in bikini bottom. You can't play on luna without buying at least one subscription, cuz the games are in that subscription.
you have to subscribe to specific categories like family or action games or Ubisoft which is like 18 bucks the others are cheaper. if you are a hardcore gamer it might not be for you but if you are a casual gamer it works
Either your hands big AF or the controller super small 😅....Does the the controller work on other devices that are non-luna related? Windows or android games
This was a big let down for me Was looking forward to playing RE 7,on my iPhone, So mad when It wasn’t in the gaming catalog. It was confirmed that Resident evil 7 gold Edition would be A Launch title. I fear it’s going in the same direction as ubiplay+ another $15.00 for a Capcom game channel I Was disappointed when it didn’t function on my new 3rd generation Amazon 4K fire stick, what’s worse even with the Luna controller and with 1000mbps download speed I still get latency, stutters and input lag... Luna needs lots of work still. Hopefully in time it will get better but for now it will sit in the closet along with my stadia,
@@radroroscam3770 Amazon has already confirmed it's using tesla t4 gpus in their servers, and those have about equivalent gaming performance to an rtx 2070
I also noticed playing Castlevania had far more visual skips, delays and graphic distortion than the more graphically technical games like a Plague Tale and Control 😕

Xbox copied their controller from Dreamcast. Put some respect on Sega's name
and Sega copied Nintendo.. The source always comes back to Nintendo :)
The developers of Xbox originally worked on Dreamcast as part of a partnership between Sega and Microsoft
@@rahnyc4 Sega "copied" Nintendo? How Sway?
Dreamcast only had 1 analog stick, this model of controller is from the Gamecube

This was super helpful! thank you! :) I'm thinking about getting this for my son.
you should get an xbox or playstation first it’ll probably be a better experience and there’s more and better games

Hmm, its gotten better but I think cloud gaming still has a long way to go.
Stadia is Dead.

Can you seriously not recharge the Luna controller through the USB-C port if you're using rechargeable batteries?
That's not how rechargeable batteries work.
Was done with the controller right when you put the batteries in haha.

um 4K isn't available yet for luna. Im beta testing as well.
I'm digging that purple color.
Will you be able to play luna in vr( quest 2) in the future like xbox cloud gaming? ,it would be great if you could
Oh it’s been a month now I’ve just been waiting on your review for Luna the update
Its next on deck I'm working on now. Should be one of the next two videos coming up soon.
do i have to get the Luna app to use the controller??? all i want to do is to be able to Bluetooth it to my phone, fire tv, and laptop.
Works good on my Chromebook. But only when plugged in. The Bluetooth connects but doesn't move anything. I tested a ps4 controller and works fine. Using browser to play Fortnite.

They’re included with the subscription.
Question I thought when you get the Amazon Luna it was supposed to lit up the whole controller so if you want to play at night so you be able to see everything is it true
Can I use a 3rd party controller that I bought for my Nintendo switch
This is one of the most detailed reviews for the luna!! :) I have one minor question though, does it have bluetooth? Or does it need wifi to connect?
You can connect to other devices using Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Can you put your phone on the phone clip and get luna on your phone and play on your phone using the controller?
I used the controller with my iphone 13 pro max it works just enable bluetooth and look up on youtube how to pair the iphone with Luna controller
What about multi-platers? Can I get two controllers for the same screen?
Luna Couch (included with Luna +) allows multi-player.
Does the rumble work on on pc with the luna drivers for windows?
what's bad for me is that even if i installed the driver for PC and paired it that's good it's working but after 5 min on idle it get disconnected and then i have to delete the device and pair it again it should reconnect automatically when pressing the power button like it would do when i connect it on my phone for example
Can you use dual shock for Luna? I have absolutely no support even tho it says it on the website lol
Thanks for the review. Does Luna support fire tv televisions ? I have a year old toshiba. Thanks.
I'm not sure for the actual Fire TVs themselves. Its not listed as supported in their documentation. So far this is what they have listed for Fire TV based devices.
FireTV devices (Fire TV Stick - 2nd gen, Fire TV Stick 4K, or Fire TV Cube - 2nd gen)
Yes bro but u need the Luna controller going try my ps4 controller later
Yes it does and all you need is a regular bluetooth controller that pairs with fire tv. I'm using a generic 10 dollar controller I had lying around I used for emulators on the firetv
Can I use this with my mobile data on my android phone?
Can we have the link for the phone holder, please. Thanks!
How frequently does the Luna update its catalog???
This is what the Firestick game controller became when all support for it was dropped?
Hello, my Question is:
Is this with subscription, or like stadia?
Thank You.🧙🏼♀️
Subscription. No option to buy games
yes but with two subscriptions that you can choose
What version of fire stick are you on?
The 1980's is calling they want their game back.
I wonder if playing on a fire stick vs fire cube makes any difference since one is a quad vs hexa core
I'm not sure but I don't think it would since everything is happening in the cloud and not much on the devices.
It plays great on Firestick. Even if you play Luna on Firestick Lite, you will get a very stable experience as if you are playing on a console.
are there any 80s games like centipede or ms.pacman or galaga?
Curti muito, ansioso pela chegada no Brasil.
LB and RB are left bumper and right bumper not left back and right back.

Did you have your Luna controller on WiFi direct? Another UA-camr said when he switched to that direct mode, the latency dropped dramatically
Thank you
How do you turn up the volume for the headphone jack?
To be honest I've noticed even with original consoles the lag on an hdtv im sure its a setting with frame rates or something
I don't like subscriptions this is why i really appreciate stadia, i only buy the games i want and eventually do a random pro month to play something interesting
Bro I followed all the steps I even pressed it 5 seconds multiple times and it's still not working brand new batteries and everything
Can you play on the iPhone without WiFi using cellular data? The controller won’t work for me doing that, but it is connected to my phone via Bluetooth
If your cellular data is unlimited, go with it.
How do i connect to my bluetooth on pc so i could play warzone
Great reveiw
What games can you play on the phone with Luna controller
I've not played games since 2010 lol. This looks SO cool and inexpensive. I don't need a huge expensive console. But I want to know if there would be games like: DBZ, Street Fighters, Tekken, Sonic, etc.
Sonic mania is there but not the others yet, it might come soon cuz Luna is still in beta.
Hey 👋🏻 Does anyone know how I can get to my pickaxe when playing Fortnite?! Once I have weapons I am anable to select the axe with this controller. 😢
