Samsung's smartphone gaming controller will come with 35 games Dec 17th 2013, 13:56, by Mikael Ricknäs, IDG News Service Samsung Electronics will ship 35 games with its Smartphone GamePad gaming controller, which can be attached to most of its Android-based Galaxy smartphones. Samsung pitches the Smartphone GamePad as an alternative to portable consoles like Sony's PS Vita or Nintendo's 3DS. It has a directional pad, two analog sticks, four action buttons and two trigger buttons. Android games have to be customized to work with the controller. The first batch of compatible titles includes "Need for Speed Most Wanted", "Asphalt 8: Airborne", "Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour", "Virtua Tennis Challenge", and "Prince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame", Samsung said. The controller has been optimized for Samsung's own Galaxy devices running Android 4.3 or newer. Owners of products including the Galaxy Note 3, S4, Note II, and S III can connect using an NFC tag by clicking on a button labelled "Play" on the controller. The device can also connect to Samsung devices running Android 4.1 using Bluetooth, but in this case the "Play" button won't work.
