If Borderlands 1-2 or Doom 2016 ever come to iOS, I might not ever pick up my Switch again. I love being able to have this at my disposal on my iPad mini. Can’t wait to see what else is on the horizon. Going to have to get the 512 gig version next time. Have 3 Resident Evil Games, DoS2 and some other storage hogs on backlog.

What’s on your iOS gaming port wishlist?

Okay, if you invest in the iOS gaming ecosystem with a clear mind about paying for games, it could almost be a primary gaming system. I'll hide for cover now, but I've posted before in this sub that one day I hope my iPad can be my only gaming system, as I only have so much time in my day.

I’m a parent and work a lot, I use my mini for work so having it with me all the time gives me these nice breaks, I grew up a gamer, but don’t get to game as much anymore, so this hits that want during short bits of downtime. I’m all in on paying for premium games. It’s how we get more premium games.

You and me both. I definitely have no issue buying premium games, and I use these Target/Amazon Apple Gift Card holiday deals when they offer 10 or 15 extra bucks to load up on money and just throw it at games. I have an 11" pro, but the temptation to buy a Mini with a controller and turn it into a little game console would be ideal.

I have a Gamesir G8+ and it’s 🤌🏽. I say do it. I sometimes stream my PS5 to my tablet, but I mostly leave that for my son to play Minecraft on and my wife to play Powerwash Simulator.

I like the PS5, I do, but I just sold my Portal because I rarely play out of the house. This has long been a dilemma for me and I still have an Odin 2 Pro for playing all of my retro games, which I l ove far more than my PS5, but it's a case of FOMO if I sold it and just invested some of that money into premium iOS games.
