For those who enjoy playing arcade styled games on their iPad, let’s face it – touch screen controls will never feel as good as an actual physical gaming pad. That being said, the good news is that ThinkGeek has heard the plight of gamers out there and has released the iCade 8-Bitty, as pictured to the right, which is a game controller with a classic D-pad and button layout that is somewhat reminiscent of the gaming consoles we used to play back in the day (think old school Nintendo gaming consoles).
The good news is that the iCade 8-Bitty will work for both iOS and Android devices and will be powered by a battery of its own. It will also feature compatibility with iCade games and if you’re interested in picking one up for yourself, it will be available for purchase some time later this year for $24.99. [Product page]
