iPad Gaming Now Turns Nostalgic as iCade Ships
With the iCade from ION Audio now available, a nostalgic experience via iPad gaming is a reality for iPad users everywhere.
Cumberland, R.I. (July 11, 2011) – ION, a leader in consumer audio and entertainment technology, announces iCade, an arcade cabinet designed for iPad gaming is now available. ION unveiled iCade at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada this past January.
iCade is an authentic, mini arcade cabinet for iPad or iPad 2 complete with full-sized joystick and arcade-style buttons. ION is proud to be partnering with ThinkGeek to bring to market their concept for this must-have iPad gaming accessory.
iCade's specially designed cradle ensures safe loading and unloading of an iPad or iPad 2, and also provides a solid, secure fit even during the most intense iPad arcade game-play sessions. The cradle is also designed to offer an ideal screen-viewing angle and quickly allows iCade’s top-quality arcade controls to interact with your iPad wirelessly via Bluetooth.
ION has partnered with Atari®, the first name in classic arcade games, to bring a huge suite of classic arcade titles to market with iCade support built right in; the Atari Greatest Hits app is free from the iTunes App Store and includes one free classic arcade game when downloaded, and 99 additional games available via in-app purchase. Several additional game developers including Physmo, Appracatappra LLC, and Little White Bear Studios have already integrated iCade support into their games, and ION is in active discussions with a number of major game developers about integrating iCade support into their titles as well.
“With iCade, people everywhere can play their favorite classic arcade games the way they were meant to be played,” said Fred Galpern, ION Brand Manager. “iCade is great because it combines the power of iPad with timeless arcade-style gaming.”
