Playtiles Begins Shipping To Backers

https://retrohandhelds.gg/playtiles-begins-shipping-to-backers/

Ever wish your phone could just be a Game Boy—without the bulk, the Bluetooth headaches, or the battery anxiety? Enter Playtiles: a credit-card-sized sticky pad of real D-pads and buttons that clings to your screen like a tactile sticker. No charging. No pairing. Just slap it on, tap your favorite emulator, and suddenly your iPhone feels like a 90s handheld made of magic (and plastic).

It’s genius because it doesn’t try to replace your phone—it enhances what’s already there. Drag the virtual controls in Delta or another emulator to match Playtiles’ layout, and boom: your thumbs are pressing real buttons, not ghostly UI blobs. No more “wait, which one was A again?” during a Mario Bros. run.

And here’s the kicker: it works with anything that lets you move on-screen controls—emulators, GB Studio games, even mobile ports. No proprietary ecosystem. Just your ROMs, your rules, and a $10 slab of joy that fits in your wallet. Perfect for coffee lines, commutes, or when you just miss the click of a real button.

If you’ve ever sighed at another “handheld phone case” that felt like carrying a brick… this is your upgrade. Order now. Your thumbs will thank you.
