ThinkGeek Announces iCade 8-Bitty – an NES-like Wireless Controller for iOS
Feb 14th
ThinkGeek has just announced the iCade 8-Bitty – a nifty new Bluetooth gamepad for iOS that looks extremely similar to an NES controller (with two shoulder buttons and an extra pair of A/B buttons). Retro-licious fun for your iPhone and iPad!
The 8-bitty works with any app that’s compatible with the original iCade, such as Pac-Man for iPad, Atari’s Greatest Hits, Super Mega Worm and others. The 8-Bitty is powered by two AAA batteries.
What’s most exciting about the 8-Bitty, however, is the price – just $25! The 8-Bitty is due out later this year, and ThinkGeek has created a mailing list if you’d like to be notified when it is officially released.
