Finally: ‘Minecraft PE’ Gets MFi Controller Support
It’s here. This is the moment many of you have been waiting the past 9 months for. Minecraft, one of the biggest games of all time, now supports MFi controllers.
I think a lot of older gamers (at least those without kids) don’t quite understand just how huge Minecraft is among young people. To many in their teens, Minecraft is how they hang out with their friends. Gameplay videos of Minecraft are what they watch instead of TV. They live and breathe this game.
Whatever Apple ends up announcing at tomorrow’s event, there is a very real chance that this Minecraft update will have more of an impact on MFi controller sales. As soon as kids see their friends playing Minecraft on a Gamevice, they’re going to be begging for one over the holidays.
I’ve just barely begun to scratch the surface of playing Minecraft on an MFi controller, but I expect to have a lot more information (and much higher quality photos) up soon. My initial impressions: controller support works excellently, and Minecraft is a textbook definition of a must-own game. I say buy it now.
