Mobile gaming has certainly taken the center stage so far at this year’s CES, as MOGA has announced their next line of portable gaming controller. The MOGA Pro Controller is much like the original, that went on that fire sale a couple of weeks back, but brings a few enhancements that should interest any of our mobile game diehards. 

The Pro features full-sized console-style grips, dual analog sticks, 4 action buttons, directional pad, shoulder bumpers, shoulder triggers, rechargeable batteries, USB charging cable, and a tablet stand.

The controller is set to launch in the Spring of 2013 with a price that is to be determined.

Anyone here able to get the free one? If so, how are you liking it?

About MOGA

The MOGA Mobile Gaming System combines three key innovations. MOGA controllers are the first state-of-the-art controllers designed specifically for mobile devices. The original MOGA is pocket-sized, streamlined and very portable. The MOGA Pro allows mobile gamers to play with the same familiarity and control schemes that they are used to playing on their console systems. Both controllers connect via Bluetooth® wireless technology, and feature the controls that mobile gamers and developers demand. In addition, the MOGA Software Development Kit (SDK) provides mobile game developers greater precision, robust control and enhanced display abilities while enabling fast, efficient development of rich new game titles and MOGA enhancement of existing titles. Finally, the MOGA™ Pivot App enables gamers to easily browse, find and play a list of MOGA Enhanced Games in one convenient location. MOGA Pivot App is available free via Google Play.

The original pocket-sized version of MOGA was released on October 22, 2012 to critical acclaim, and has attracted support from top mobile developers and publishers who want to bring console-like precision and control to their Android phone and tablet-based games. Gameloft, Rockstar, SkyVu Entertainment, MADFINGER Games, Namco Bandai, SEGA, Arb Studios, Vector Unit and other acclaimed publishers have developed MOGA Enhanced blockbuster titles such as Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Tiki Kart 3D, NFL Pro 2013, The Dark Knight Rises HD, N.O.V.A. 3, Sonic CD, and Jet Set Radio. New game titles, developers and publishers are coming on board each month. For a complete list of games that support MOGA, visit www.PowerA.com/MOGA.

MOGA Pro Gaming Controller Announced – Launch Set for Spring, Price TBD [CES 2013] is a post from: Droid Life

Last week, we tipped readers off to a deal that couldn’t be resisted, one that featured a free MOGA gaming controller and a coupon to redeem a copy of Modern Combat 4. The total value was somewhere around $60, but all you had to pay was $5 in shipping and both were yours. Not surprisingly, they sold out almost immediately following a server overload.

Today, perfectly timed as those orders start arriving on doorsteps, PowerA has released a list of top games that work with the MOGA controller. You’ll find titles like Modern Combat 4, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Wild Blood, Jet Set Radio, and Dead Trigger, all major game titles that we have featured a time or two on DL.

Have you received your MOGA yet? If so, what games are you using it with?

“BATTLE BEARS ROYALE is our #1 game and it’s all about intense real-time multiplayer action packed with hilarious comedy,” says Ben Vu, Co-Founder & CEO of SkyVu Entertainment.  ”Our millions of core fans are extremely competitive.  MOGA allows gamers to play better while keeping their thumbs off the glass to provide a full view of the action.”

PowerA, the sellers of the MOGA gaming controller for Android, are offering a special deal on a limited supply of controllers. For a very limited time, you can get a new $50 controller, coupled with Gameloft’s Modern Combat 4 for free. All you have to do is pay shipping and handling. Awesome, right? The controller attaches to your device, turning any phone into a portable gaming system.

Once on the site, add the controller to your cart, then apply the coupon code, “SecretSanta.” You better hurry!

Coupon Code: SecretSanta

Update:  We crashed the PowerA site for the MOGA, so they temporarily took it down. They are assuring customers that the deal is still on, though, and that they have extended it:

Wow! You must really like MOGA!
Don’t worry, the deal is still on.

We have temporarily taken down PowerA.com due to the overwhelming response.

Please check back as we will be back in business shortly!

Didn’t get your order in? Don’t worry, we will be extending the offer.

Update 2:  The site is back up! They have apparently extended the sale until tomorrow, assuming their stock lasts that long.
