Thanks to emulators, playing retro games on your smartphones has never been easier. Recently, 8BitDo have announced a mobile clip that attaches one of their Micro or Zero 2 Gamepads directly to the front of your phone for in-hand gaming.

This compact accessory is designed for users who desire more control over their games on the go. While it may not look as sleek as the GAMEBABY or MCON, the clip offers a cost-effective solution for those not wanting to spend too much.

With a price tag of $9.99, it’s a budget-friendly option that could add significant control when using your handheld retro games via an emulator on your phone.


Do you own an 8BitDo Micro or Zero 2? Do you think you'll try this out?

It’s a shame neither compatible controller seem to support iOS gaming mode. I guess a lot of emulators are fine with keyboard emulation but it will lose any analogue possibilities
