i know i know .... personal subjective opinion ... although PS-DS layout is considered to be anti-ergonomic (for modern game ... for retro-arcade games it's surprisingly fitting ... who knews, that not using analog stick on a DS controller would make it ergonomic :laugh: )
nonetheless the only moment i use a controller with my phone (currently a 23$ Moga Pocket) is when playing with an emulator... now that one is specifically made for a cloud gaming service, not a fan for pay to play gaming (unless it's a good ol' "borne d'arcade" ) so, that would be a 3rd cons for me :laugh:
