MOGA Ace Power Will Give Your iOS Games The Gamepad They Deserve
Posted on June 10, 2014 at 1:57 pm
Some of the most important hits in mobile gaming could be simply controlled via a couple of simple touch gestures. Other games require somewhat more finesse, however, and touch controls can never truly replicate the precision of a physical controller. That’s where MOGA is available in.
MOGA, an organization that makes mobile controllers for Android devices, would be the first out of a gate with an Apple certified controller for iOS devices after Apple introduced controller support in iOS 7. Its controller – the MOGA Ace Power – gives your iPhone 5, 5S or 5C an Xbox 360-like controller interface complete with two analog nubs, hasta hoy-pad, four face buttons and shoulder pads.
So, what games does the MOGA Ace Power support? There’s no definitive list just yet, however it should support almost every game that decides to take advantage of Apple’s new controller API in iOS 7. In brief, every iOS game could potentially support controllers sooner or later.
If offering iOS gamers a much better control option wasn’t enough, the MOGA Ace Power also acts as an external power supply to your iOS device. When connected to the controller, your iOS device can draw power from it to recharge itself. That feature alone may well be what sells the controller to consumers searching for how you can extend their iOS device’s battery life on long trips.
While there’s no release date set for the device, it is possible for you to to pre-order it soon from either MOGA’s own Website or the Apple store for $100.
