Curiously absent from this week’s release onslaught was Madfinger Games’ Dead Trigger (Free), but following our forums it sounds like they were victim of some 11th hour Apple approval drama. Regardless of the reason for the delay, Dead Trigger is finally here. The game is a buck, and features a wide array of IAP options for various in-game currencies to unlock additional weaponry, power ups, and other things like that.
We’re not very far into the game just yet, so it remains how optional these IAP items are, but it seems like you earn enough money from playing that at least the early options seem to be easily earned just by playing.
We’ll have a full review, and potentially even some gameplay video shortly. In the meantime, swing by the thread in our forums.
Oh man I got all excited by the title, but it's the icade jr that I'm waiting for.
yeah dude. me too
Yeah, me three!
This was in toys r us last month
Hmmm... With all the speculation, rumor and leaked images of the new upcoming iPhone I am uneasy about buying this.
Will be adding iCade support for Super Soccer Champs, so this is great news!
"Mobile's much more robust selection of physical buttons”
I thought all iCades supported the same 4(8)-way direction control + 8 buttons, albeit in different arrangements? (I see 2 shoulder buttons on the Mobile and there must be another 2 hiding somewhere.)
Still, differing arrangements is a pain for developers. Hard to come up with one ideal button config. Luckily, almost no games really need all 8 buttons.
Brainfart. I meant layout.
Agreed, I really wish the iCade “Sr.” had a diamond layout for some of the buttons!
looks great, really tempting, depends on the list of games that support it.
jailbreak + Blutrol = SFIV VOLT the way it was meant to be played!
what about the 8-bitty?
Absolutely, I'm much more interested in the 8-bitty. I'm surprised it's taking them so long to get it made.
How i can make my game playable for icade mobile ?
I think the Ion site has a link to instructions in making it compatible with icade.
Your "definitive list" needs updating. Where's the Namco stuff?
This was available weeks ago direct from the manufacturer.
Vita with your six months route to market, three companies to get approval from and piss poor sales?
Thank you, and goodnight...
This will be obsolete in about three months. I really don't think the iPhone 5 will be compatible.
I like the concept of having a physical controller for iOS gaming, but the controllers are too expensive, considering that not very many games support them. Right now, they're kind of a niche product. There needs to be some sort of standardized code that all controllers will work with, rather than a bunch that all work using different methods.
Are they still releasing the separate NES style BT controller?
Main problem with this is that the taller iPhone won't be able to fit in there if that is actually what comes out. I'd rather just have an external accessory that works for iPhone and iPad.
Looks good, but at that price you really should also have analogue controller. Perhaps even battery extender.
Wonder is the iphone 5 will fit in this.
I need one of these! But I am too cheap to spend the money XD
It makes an iOS device to a PSP-like device or even XPeria device! But how it will work?
Couldn't help but buy it straight away. Will make Pinball Arcade so much more fun when I can actually nudge the table.
I would be all over this if it worked with the iPhone 5. They could have easily fixed that by making the center part expandable kind of like those mobile phone holders for your car. That way you could use your phone in a case too. Sucks I could have had this fairly cheap too with my gift cards.
