Nexus Player Gamepad lands in the Google Play Store

The optional Gamepad for Google Nexus Player is now available in the Google Play store. Like the set top box it is designed for, the Asus-made accessory is set to leave the warehouse in 3-4 weeks.

The Gamepad is priced at $39.99 and, as expected, it can be used as a remote control for the Nexus Player. Users will be able to connect up to four controllers to their Android TV set top box and enjoy multiplayer gaming sessions.
