How awesome is this?
Not only is it the form and function of an 8-bit NES controller, but it even sports the sweet wood panelling that was popular on the Atari.
Introducing, the soon to be available:
iCADE 8-Bitty
From ThinkGeek:
It pairs wirelessly just like our iCADE, and it’s compatible with a growing list of hundreds of retro game apps, including the Atari Classics collection, Pac Man, Super Mega Worm, and more (see full list). Because the 8-Bitty uses a completely open interface system, any app developer can easily add game support–and yes, that includes Android devices.
The 8-Bitty will be compatible with Atari’s package, along with all of these:
- Muffin Knight – Angry Mob Games

That is sweet… I will definitely be in for one of those when they get it out!
I’ve tried the whole Wii remote over bluetooth thing in the past, but with no success, so something dedicated will be great to have.

Pure joy, this is.
Eric J says
This is really cool, too bad there isn’t more game support.
