Really cool, but the cons are fatal and I'd get iCade...

Something about that design is extremely reminiscent of the NES Advantage. I'm thinking it's a combination of rubber feet, smaller form factor, and non-arcade parts that's giving me that impression.

Not necessarily a bad thing, as the NES Advantage was one hell of a stick.

Heh, yeah all I need to do is win that ThinkGeek skin contest for the iPad and then I might go for that deal.

I'd bet it works the similarly to how the iCade works, and acts as a physical keyboard instead of a bluetooth one.

It's likely converting each axis-on, axis-off, button-on, and button-off action as a keypress that the software can interpret.

So since the inputs are the same, the game doesn't really know it's not an iCade. It just knows it's keyboard inputs.

Will be interesting to see if I'm right.

Taito is releasing a single button version.
Unlike the original it has stereo speakers.
