Nintendo has been going wild having press conferences the past couple of days, mostly for financial discussion for investors but they’ve also promised to talk more about their overall smartphone strategy and partnership with DeNA. Many have speculated that we’ll actually see what Nintendo’s first smartphone game will be today, but there’s no guarantees anything that exciting happens. But let’s hope so! Anyway, unfortunately the press conference Nintendo is about to kick off at 10am Japan time isn’t being broadcast, but the Wall Street Journal is liveblogging the whole thing, so if you want to follow along and read about the things that are happening then click the link below. We’ll be covering any major announcements in regards to smartphone gaming and Nintendo, if there are any, that is.

I purchased an iPega 9025 which should be shipping on friday. Another reason for jailbreaking iOS devices: ControllersForAll adds MFi "support" to standard (and cheaper) bluetooth controllers.
Works like a charm.
Cool--but I want the iPad Pro version. I'd feel like a waiter carrying dinner for 4.
Apple should seriously consider something like the JB solution Controllers4all. All these MFi controllers are garbage, sold at ridiculously high prices or both. Apple appears to want to reinvent gaming, with strong hardware specs and a great publishing platform, but all we get is overpriced plastic and freemium garbage to complement it. Apple, what do you want?!
Money from the MFi licensing program, and ensuring that each controller has a familiar user experience, perhaps. Not that I wouldn't love for DualShock 4 support, because I would do bad things for DS4 support.
Did you try the steelseies nimbus ? It's a really solid one.
I have it and used it for the AppleTV and its pretty good.
Buying the iPhone model when available for my 6S Plus, it'll be a super sized vita that can send texts!
You feel more intimate with an iPad than a console or PC games??! You never fail to make me feel like throwing up Carter Dotson.
Imagine how I feel.
Lol
Do the thumbsticks have a clickable action? Like standard console controllers?
If it's an MFi certified controller then it won't, because that's not part of the MFi specifications.
Man, I wish IOS controllers were more commonly used. It's not easy to find an affordable iPad controller right now. I don't even really like playing game like Modern Combat 5 anymore cause they feel so clunky on my iPad...
Can someone please confirm that the newest iPad Mini 4 will fit into this thing? The Mini 4 is longer and skinnier than the Mini 2 and 3. I've read in other reviews that the fit is not perfect.
It will fit with some wiggle room. The Gamevice Mini does expand slightly, so fitting the iPad Mini 4 will not be a problem, but since it's thinner than the iPad Mini 2, which it was created for, the fit won't be as snug.
