    So I just got an iCade and so far I'm loving it. SCB, LOE, iMame, etc all works great. But it got me thinking about the other apps that I have that I can only hope add support for the iCade. Here's my list:

    Candy Boy (I wanted to like this but the controls were pretty bad. Maybe this could help)
    Continuity 2 (with extra buttons used for choosing the tile)
    Death Worm (super mega worm works perfect with the icade. Why not Death Worm too)
    Frogotto (another great platformer)
    Galaga 30th
    Jelly Invaders
    Luxor (i think this would work really well)
    Mrs Pac Man
    NBA Jam (i grew up playing NBA Jam in arcades. This needs iCade support)
    Pizza Boy (would need universal support too)
    Sonic
    Sonic II
    Sonic 4
    Soul Calibur
    Space Invaders Infinity Gene
    Street Fighter 4/Volt (same as above)
    Sushi Boy (already has multiple control options. why not another)
    Tetris
    The Incident (dont know if they would add it since its a tilt based game)
    X-Men

    What do you guys think? Any suggestions for other games?

    Yea Ive seen the other thread but that's more of a compatibility list.

    Agreed, that would be a good one.

    Not really. Some games are better suited for touchscreen. Fruit ninja as an example.

    Yes, my original intention in the other thread was to contain a list of what games people wanted, but as more games were actually released that obviously became the topic of discussion.

    I already sent a message to the Pizza Boy developers asking for iCade support.

    And The Incident would be really great without those tilt controls. I really hate tilt controls (other than racing games).

    I disagree about Kosmo Spin... The game mechanic revolves around spinning the planet with your finger, so adding iCade would defeat the purpose!

    Brilliant
    A day after this thread opens all games with virtual dpad and buttons can be playable on iCade or other bluetooth pad (iControlPad woo) now with blutrol

    As soon as i can sonic, street fighter, bards tale, nba jam, sacred oddessy, gta, shantae, and anything else I can think of will finally have real controls (again, for most)

    Yeah, the confusing bit is that the interface doesn't support iCade (the menus), but once the game is started you can control it with iCade. I think that's the source of confusion. Hopefully they'll add control of the menus via iCade in an update. The game is superb with iCade in any case. And portrait mode too!

    Saw that. Looks cool except I'm not interested in jailbreaking. Would love official support from the apps instead.

    Pac-Man CE probably wouldn't be better with the iCade since the stick is 8-way. It might even be worse than swipe control. Not saying they shouldn't do it, but I don't really have high hopes for it being better.... unless you swap out the stick with one capable of being changed to 4-way. That's why they should do it, but the number of people who'd be able to do that is small.

    Soul Calibur just came out. A game I used to play with a joystick in the arcades. Another game that needs iCade support.

    Tetris, yes.. that would be the best.

    But why not Plants Vs. Zombies?
