Introduing The "Zeemote"

Introducing the Zeemote, a bluetooth gaming controller for your phone.

To some this may seem like rather old news, however i have (and a few other people) only recently stumbled across it, so i thought id point it out.

As you can see from the picture the Zeemote is shaped much like a knuchuck for a Nintendo Wii and im guessing handles the same way. You would connect this controller to your phone via bluetooth , and im assuming the red circle button below the analog stick would be the bluetooth connect button (aswell as power it on).

To use the Zeemote obviously the analog stick would do the moving, the A, B and C buttons would be used for certain actions in a game, such as jump and shoot - this controller (in my opinion) would come in handy for fast-paced games such as ONE on N-Gage.

According to Zeemotes official website (which can be seen here). The Zeemote device has already got support from various different game developers and already supports a fair few amount of java and sis games including Sonic The Hedgehog, Time Crisis and Moto GP, below is a little preview (taken from the zeemote website) of how it would look to play games using the Zeemote Controller:



Now as you can see in the video, devices such as Nokia's, Sony Ericssons and Samsungs are used to play games, so its obvious that this controller works with near enough any device that supports bluetooth signals.

Now the next step would be to see if this Zeemote would work on N-Gage Games, instead of the java and sis games and the answer to that is YES, symbian World (earlier in the year) uploaded a video of a Zeemote Connected to a N95 8GB and gives us a quick demonstration on how the zeemote works on the N-Gage Games, you can see the video below, now i definately have got to get my self one of these, that way i might stand a chance in ONE. Enjoy!



As the video shows above the Zeemote works with N-Gage Games and i have just found this rather interesting blog post on the N-Gage Blog, stating that N-Gage games WILL SUPPORT the Zeemote - you can read more about it here.
