While the Ouya might be getting most the mobile-game-console attention (who knew that was a thing?), it looks like a new competitor is about to step into the ring. The GameDock isn't exactly a console - rather, it's a dock for your iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads that allows you to play iOS games on your TV with a controller.
Currently all iCade apps that are limited to two buttons should be compatible with the GameDock, with more on the way. Cavorite, Don't Run With A Plasma Sword, Final Run, Neoteria, and Vertex Blaster are being featured as compatible apps. GameDock is developing a dashboard that will allow you to easily sort and find compatible games and launch them straight from your couch with your controller.
While it doesn't have its own custom controller like the Ouya, the GameDock allows you to plug in two USB-powered Retrolink NES-style controllers.
The GameDock is just about fully-funded (at a shockingly low $50,000 goal when compared to the Ouya). But if you want one, it'll cost you. Pledging $125 on GameDock's Kickstarter will get you a GameDock and two USB controllers.
It all looks pretty slick, but what do you think? Are you willing to drop $125 to turn your iPhone into a console, or are you fresh out of dough after pledging the Ouya?
