In 2011 ThinkGeek revolutionized iPad gaming by inventing the iCADE iPad Arcade Cabinet. As you probably already know, the iCADE allows you to turn your iPad into an upright arcade style game cabinet perfect for playing retro style arcade games.
Now ThinkGeek brings the magic of the iCade to your pocket with the iCade 8-Bitty. This wireless game controller sports classic a D-Pad and button layout reminiscent of retro 8-bit game consoles from the 80's and 90's. The 8-Bitty works with your iPad and iPhone to play apps using a game controller with real tactile input. It also works with Android devices as well! 8-Bitty supports iCADE's growing list of hundreds of retro game apps, including Atari Classics collection, Pac-Man, Super Mega Worm, etc. The 8-Bitty uses a completely open interface system, so that any app developer can easily add game support.
