If one natural limitation has more frustratingly held back otherwise promising developments in smartphone and tablet gaming, it would have to be the natural control limitations. Thanks to the Satetchi Wireless Gamepad, gamers can now test the limits of indie and triple-A titles on iOS, Android and Windows mobile devices with traditional, intuitive interfaces.
Each Gamepad includes a familiar modern layout of two analog sticks, a directional pad and a combined 14 buttons, along with an integrated spring holder that mounts any smartphone or tablet at a viewing angle that complements the controller. This setup lets gamers keep their eyes on the screen, where they belong, and their hands naturally controlling the action.
The Gamepad’s iCade Mode, tailored for an optimal iOS experience, includes a pack of iCade ports of such classic games as PAC-MAN, Battlezone, Asteroids and Centipede, among others. Search the Apple App Store to explore the full catalog of compatible iCade and modern games.
Android/Mouse Mode not only pairs with a variety of free Google Play Store apps to deliver recent favorites from Angry Birds to Grand Theft Auto 3 to robust life on mobile platforms, but is an ideal mode for FC and SFC simulators, N64 and GBA emulators and a variety of classic titles including Sonic CD, Soulcraft and Shadowgun.
Finally, Joystick Mode is the quintessential way to immersively play the most current hits such as Dota, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Fallout 4, NBA 2K16 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim via Steam and other gaming services with few reminders they aren’t running on full-fledged PCs or consoles. Some remapping of keys may be required.
The Satechi Wireless Gamepad currently retails for $39.99 online and in stores. To learn more, follow @Satechi on Twitter and “like” Facebook.com/Satechi.
