Playtiles and Mega Cat Studios bundle a controller with seven retro games

Playtiles has teamed up with Mega Cat Studios for a charming little retro hardware bundle, and it is exactly the sort of thing that makes touchscreen haters perk up. The package includes a limited-edition phone controller and seven Mega Cat games: Kudzu, Little Medusa, Old Towers, Romeow and Julicat, Coffee Crisis, Misplaced and Devwill Too MD. The controller sticks to the phone screen through Playtiles’ Gecko-Grip tech, turning a phone into something closer to a pocket handheld.

Pre-orders are open, shipping is expected in October, and the whole thing feels like a love letter to people who still believe buttons matter.
