Even just give us AAA games from the last couple generations. Tons of older games would work on iOS devices these days, and many people have backlogs and/or nostalgia games they want to play again.If you want to buy me a console, you're going to have to show me some serious games for it.
Give me Doom Eternal, Metroid Prime 4, and Breath of the Wild 2 and I'll immediately buy it. Other AAA games will be accepted as substitutes. B+ Knock-offs and spin-offs (the best the iOS app store generally has) will not be.
Call me a puritan, but if you want a true console experience, buy a console. That is the point of a dedicated machine, large screen, dedicated controller, surround sound and massive game files.
No manner of plastic add ons or apps can give you a console experience on a phone.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that whole debacle. I was curious why nobody had refuted my saying there's no AAA titles on the platform by pointing out Fortnite.This looks good to play Fortnite on. ;-) Whoops.
$100? Who is seriously that into iOS gaming that they would spend $100 bucks on a controller?
I’ll admit that it’s mostly dreck on the App Store, but there are some decent indie games like Dead Cells, Hyper Light Drifter, Stardew Valley and Bastion, as well as older games like San Andreas, Bully, KOTOR, Journey etc.Even just give us AAA games from the last couple generations.

Would work well for developers of modern AAAs too. Think Alan Wake: it would run perfectly on an iPhone 12, would get money and attention to the franchise if they were thinking about making a sequel, and would finally be a reason to game on iOS.
Right now, iOS games are just childish time wasters. There's no reason to get games on iOS, thus there's no reason to get peripherals, either.
Except for the Price, Impressive !
Battery. Your phone won’t last long doing it all.I agree it does seem a lot. But on the flip side, this kind of makes your iPhone like a switch hardware wise. Throw in some more involved games and why carry a portable game console as well as a phone when it can just be a single device?

Now put a battery into the back if the controller and I think we’d be onto something.
It has pass-through charging so long gaming sessions should be possible. Either plug in or bring a battery pack.Battery life for one. This gen of phone already has worse battery life than last gen. Not to mention "more involved games" are never going to happen for iOS beyond cheap ports. Why? Because the device has no buttons. This means that all games will have to support a touch screen control scheme even if they do offer controller support on the side.
And now we have traveled full circle back to “not really portable/on the go”It has pass-through charging so long gaming sessions should be possible. Either plug in or bring a battery pack.
Not sure how cheap it looks compared to the razer but did razer have their commercial on a cool farm with "real folk"?It looks like a cheap knockoff of the Razer Kishi.
I've been using the Kishi for PS4 and Xbox One streaming. It works great.
Old guy huh.... I remember playing on the original Pong machines lol.This looks good to play Fortnite on. ;-) Whoops.
I do game and I do have an iPhone, but on screen controls were always too finicky for me to play the first person shooters that I like. Something like this would work great. And I can't help but think that it would give me a tremendous aiming advantage in multi-player games over folks on screen controls. Add in that my iPhone is going to give me an processor advantage over most phones, and I can see a "pay to win" advantage here. Might help make up for me being an "old guy" by gamer standards and those "old guy" reflexes.
Well sure, but there are a stack ton of kids who play a lot of games on iOS who would love this thing in their Christmas stockings. Sure, it's not AAA games, and may never be, but it's a portable game device that can be played in the back of the car on long trips, play them at lunch time at school, and so on.... I think they will sell well.If you want to buy me a console, you're going to have to show me some serious games for it.

To be fair, ALL games are time wasters.Even just give us AAA games from the last couple generations. Tons of older games would work on iOS devices these days, and many people have backlogs and/or nostalgia games they want to play again.

If they were smart, they'd design a magsafe cutout in the back so you can play while charging via magsafe.Battery life for one. This gen of phone already has worse battery life than last gen.
