Mario run did it great, Pokémon go did it good. Normal Pokémon games and old final fantasy games work too, since it’s not time sensitive. Tilting games work on phones, maybe driving games. But that’s about it. While it may be possible to display all 13 buttons of a controller on a phone screen, it’s just… you can only press 1 direction and 1 button at the same time, no shoulder buttons AND face button.
They should make Kirby and the magic brush or something like that on phones.
Didn’t apple add support for controllers a couple years ago? Maybe I’m misremembering, but why isnt that a bigger deal for people who want to play serious games?

If I need the controller to play in the first place, why not play on the TV?
When I’m on the go I rarely take a controller + clip or a clippable controller with me.
When I was a cab driver, I would have had a controller with me in my bag and position the phone on the wheel in a comfy position while gaming.
