I’ll have to say, despite the fact that it’s not the same ugly grey, black and red that I was so fond of, I’m still absolutely in love with the design. The controller has a standard directional pad and four big red buttons which will let you play anything from simple NES ported classics to more advanced retro games that have been released over the past few years. It wouldn’t be truly oldschool with having to worry about triping over your wires when you flail your arms all over the place. The controller is battery powered, which makes it convenient to carry around, but it would have been pretty sweet if they had an optional cord that could plugin to your device. The 8-Bitty is a controller that will connect wireless via Bluetooth to just about any mobile device, whether it be an iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad or any Android compatible machine. Now, according to Slashgear, ThinkGeek has just released a new controller for their iCade line of gear that will let us relive our glorious days of old school gaming the way we always wanted to.
