You can say that the handheld console market has definitely taken a hit with the advent of the iPod touch and iPhone as viable alternatives for portable gaming entertainment, although granted, the touchscreen-enabled smartphone and portable media player do not really offer that much depth compared to a dedicated handheld console. Well, one thing about touchscreen controls is this – they do not end up too accurate, especially in a First Person Shooter setting, and that can end up to be rather frustrating. Change things for the better by grabbing fate by the neck with the $29.99 iCade 8-Bitty Retro Wireless Game Controller for iPhone/iPad/Android.
Yes sir, you now have a pocketable D-Pad style device for your portable gaming needs, regardless of whether you ply your trade on the iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Android-powered device. This classic retro-styled game controller will fit into your pocket nicely, and sports an 8 button control setup that includes a quartet of face buttons, Select, Start, and two shoulder buttons, and of course, the D-Pad for movement purposes. It works wirelessly via Bluetooth, and has an auto power save mode to prolong its gaming lifespan. Fully compatible with all iCade games, make sure you have a couple of AAA batteries around as spares always, just in case it runs out of juice.
