This article is bizarre. Is this a mistake? The web site links to the same old, discontinued products that have been out of stock for years. The article mentions no details to differentiate the supposedly "new" product from the old discontinued ones. It makes little sense that these products wouldn't work with the latest Apple devices.

I'm thinking someone at "GameVice" (if they even still exist?) may have hit a button somewhere and sent out a years-old press release by accident, and MacRumors reported on it as if it were new.

I have a switch, I would rather have something like this.

The switch is good only for first-party Nintendo games. It's far too low power for anything else.
Apple should buy part of Nintendo and have all their games on the iPad. Nintendo games are not graphics and CPU hungry and could be run on the iPad with no problem. I know this is a stretch but a man can dream.
