it only supports Atari games which don't have alot of truly classic games. Where are the midways? Namco? Emulator support? oh I forgot, emulators are only on android tablet unless u jailbreak the ipad. True retro gamers will think this is a cheap joke .
This is crap. Look at the " wearetheflyguys" on youtube ipad arcade cabinet. His controller blends in seamlessly with the cabinet. This Icade looks like an unfinished cabinet due to the lack of frame on the front.
i think what tang526 is trying to say is that if you have no ipad you gotta go buy it then buy the icade plus you gotta pay to download the apps for icade so, thats not cheap. unless the ipad comes with the icade and the apps are free
Great price too, sure it probably cost them at max $5 to build (USA manufacturing, with real wood) but something like that is definitely worth every penny.
seems lame, and a total waste of money. If you buy this, you'll only ever use it at home, since there's no way you'd be carrying this around (unless u wanna look like an idiot). Which also means, you might as well go on your PC or consoles than play this. There's no point staying home to play this on an iPad when u have better entertainment devices and gadgets to play with at your own home.
@Tang526 And the iPad's not? =P Just a toy mate. Both are. But yeah, not something to go gettin' if you've got a budget. I don't know about rich.. but perhaps a birthday gift or something.

Extortionate price. Admit it looks pretty awesome though.

this is poorly design...cause majority of games are landscape mode.

What they put on the side is a typo. It should say "Epic Win"

It looks a bit too cramped with the joystick so close to the buttons. Not a bad product for people willing to pay $99.

I hope they will use a good quality joystick and buttons.
Also, the landscape mode support is great. Although... it feels more like an afterthought...

@torokun The should have put the first and second player buttons on the bottom and spaced them out a bit more.

@prooc I doubt the unit is big enough to have two joysticks.
Besides, if you have two units, you can play 1 vs. 1 via wireless link.
