GameSir didn’t make any formal bulletins of what the accent is named, what it can value, compatibility, or when will probably be launched.
Though the accent is seen within the background of a photo GameSir shared of its TGS booth on X, higher photographs have been shared by the X account, @Yoshivesmovie, after getting the possibility to go hands-on with the controller. The C-shaped accent slides on to the underside of a smartphone and encompasses a D-pad, Begin and Choose buttons, and 4 motion buttons which can be all styled after the Recreation Boy’s. There’s additionally a pair of further face buttons plus shoulder buttons on the again guaranteeing it may be used to play extra than simply emulated Game Boy titles.
It’s not recognized how the controller will hook up with a smartphone, however the photographs appear to point out a cutout on the underside which will preserve a telephone’s charging port accessible.
