If the next console is backwards compatible it will be a day one purchase from me. All I want is a Super Switch.

I remember playing the GBC Dragon Warrior Monsters game and being totally enthralled by it.

I had no fucking idea what was going on, and I didn’t come close to beating it, but it was fun.

I’d like to see them try if only to see what software they integrate into the device. Apple excels when they control hardware and software top to bottom and a controller would really benefit from that. One button game capture and share, or a special game specific UI when the controller connects? Or Siri language processing maybe? Some mag safe integrations? Multiplayer messaging and calling integrated into iMessage (don’t need a controller for that but whatever).

If Apple really wanted to make the iPhone a game console I’d be all in if they were, but I really can’t stand the half asses approach they are taking now. It can play RE8 natively? Cool! I’ll never touch it if the gameplay with an actual controller is an afterthought!

Having said all that… the BackBone looks dope as hell and I want one. It’s what I would expect Apple would develop in house

Not while every game in the store uses terrible touch controls.

Sell an official controller and maybe a TV dock and then we’ll talk.

That frosted glass looks neat but I get the feeling the photos aren’t doing it justice. I’m looking forward to seeing them in person.
