Gaming and Android have become good buddies lately. On tap this year, we have OUYA and XBMC. We’ve also seen the likes of Ringbow, DRONE and Gameklip.
People like games, but they don’t always prefer to use the touch
controls on their phone for hours on end. Thumb cramps anyone? This is
the niche where the MOGA Bluetooth controller sits nicely.
Let’s get the bad (or good?) stuff out
of the way: MOGA only has compatibility with games that have been
specifically crafted for gamepads. So if you have that latest issue of Minecraft for Android, you
may be out of luck. With that out of the way, let’s talk about this
niche market and how many options are available at the moment for the
serious gamer. I mentioned a few above, but really, the possibilities
are almost endless.
The reason behind this burgeoning
industry is that smartphones, by and large, are becoming more useful
through their powerful GPU’s and CPU’s like the ARM Cortex A15.
The only problem, for the serious gamer, is the poking about the
touchscreen: nothing beats an actual gamepad. I can assert that this is
true after playing a first-person shooter once with a touchscreen. My
hands hated me for 2 days after that. Had I used a nifty d-pad like the
MOGA, I would have had less strain on my joints. But enough about my
lack of gaming foresight…
If you are interested to pick one of
these u and add it to your growing zoo of gaming weaponry, PowerA, the
awesome company behind MOGA, has already worked out deals with major
mobile game developers. Gameloft, Namco, Sega, Atari and Remedy
Entertainment are currently on that list. Finally, the controller is
set to release October 21, with a price tag of $50. Start saving your
allowance now, kids.
