ThinkGeek's $24 iCade 8-Bitty Bluetooth Controller Attempts to Bring Nostalgia to Gamers

ThinkGeek's $24 iCade 8-Bitty Bluetooth Controller Attempts to Bring Nostalgia to Gamers
 

ThinkGeek, one of my favorite geek apparel and accessories site, has announced that they will soon be coming to market with a Bluetooth Controller for mobile devices, including Android phones and tablets. It's being called the iCade 8-Bitty and, as its name suggests, it gives a nod to those of you who appreciate old-school gaming.

You're presented with an NES-style rectangular controller that has four face buttons, two shoulder buttons and a directional pad, as well as your standard start and select buttons. The controller already works with many games in the Android market and ThinkGeek will have an open development platform for developers who want to add support for it. All of it is coming later this year for $24. [ThinkGeek via PCMag]
