Sydney AU \u2013 July 4, 2013<\/i><\/b> <\/b>\u2013 Australian Android users will now be able to transform their gaming on the go with the arrival of the critically acclaimed MOGA Mobile Gaming System<\/b> scheduled for local release, with pre-orders for the MOGA Pocket going live today (4 July) at EB Games stores nationally. Already a huge hit with both casual and core gamers in the US and UK, the innovative MOGA Gaming System delivers a console-like experience for Android smartphones and tablets, transforming these devices into portable, precision gaming systems. The MOGA Pocket<\/b> and Pro <\/b>controllers will be available for purchase through selected retailers beginning in August and available for pre-launch previews at PAX AU in Melbourne July 19 through 21.<\/p>\n
The MOGA Gaming System has been custom-designed to deliver a gaming experience that goes beyond the clumsy gameplay mechanisms of traditional touchscreen games, transforming mobile gaming to an immersive, console-like experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really excited to be bringing the MOGA gaming ecosystem to the Aussie audience as it\u2019s already been a proven game-changer in the US and UK markets\u201d commented Eric Bensussen, President of PowerA. ”Going beyond the simple touchscreen point and flick mechanisms,\u00a0 our controller gives users full control of their character or conquest, whilst also allowing the graphics to be shown off in all their\u00a0 glory. MOGA is shifting the dial for smartphones, making them not just mobile social media and comms devices that we know and love, but also powerful and engaging gaming devices!\u201d<\/p>\n
The MOGA Pocket<\/b>\u00a0Controller<\/b> features dual analogue sticks, shoulder triggers and four action buttons, and connects wirelessly via Bluetooth<\/i>\u2122, transforming consumers\u2019 existing smartphones and tablets into precision gaming systems \u2013 with no extra hardware required.\u00a0\u00a0Using the MOGA Arm\u2122 to secure their smartphones,\u00a0MOGA Pocket<\/b>\u00a0gamers benefit from a uniquely slim and sleek ergonomic design that maximises portability, whilst also minimising wrist fatigue during gaming sessions. Perfect for the gamer-on-the-go, the\u00a0MOGA Pocket<\/b>\u00a0makes the commute to the office a little more exciting with precision, console-like control to dominate that challenging boss-fight or solve that final puzzle before Central station.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0MOGA Pro Controller<\/b>\u00a0is designed for mobile gamers looking for extended playtime. Designed for maximum comfort and control, the\u00a0MOGA Pro\u00a0<\/b>has full-sized grips, dual analogue sticks and a D-pad, bringing console-class gaming to the mobile environment.
