I want one! I want one! This thing just looks awesome, it could be so much fun, or at least make my games that much more fun. The iCade 8-Bitty is a retro style controller for Android and iOS devices. At the present time there’s more than 40 games it works with, but they’re adding more all of the time. Price is $29.99 and I think it’s worth it…
