Back in June, Nyko and NVIDIA announced a joint project to bring wireless controllers to Android devices. I’ve been patiently awaiting the day until the controller’s release. According toGameStop’s website, it now looks like the day has arrived as you can pick up the PlayPad and PlayPad Pro for $39.99 each. Gaming on our devices these days has become a fairly large industry, and with games becoming increasingly more detailed and rivaling console games, it’ll only gain in popularity.
I just don’t have the time to game like I used to. One of the reasons I invested in a tablet was due to the convenience of playing games and the processing power and gaming potential of tablets these days. However, I was a little disappointed at how clunky the controls are on most games. I’ve just never gotten used to the virtual controller on tablets, or phones for that matter.
Hopefully the PlayPad fixes all of those problems. I know there are other methods around this problem. There are plenty of users out there that use their Xbox 360 or PS3 controller with their device, but I just didn’t want to go that route and decided to wait it out until a proper fix was implemented.
