Apple on Wednesday introduced an update to its Apple TV platform that places an increased emphasis on games. And all of it looked a tad familiar to those who have spent some time with a Nintendo Wii.
The new Apple TV remote will double as a game controller and boast motion controls. The emphasis is not on buttons, but instead will focus on a glass touch surface.
Like the Wii, the new Apple TV imagines a gaming future in which accessibility is paramount, doing away with a convoluted 12-plus controllers that have become the norm. With gaming a central tenant of Apple's App Store, many have long-awaited for Apple to take greater steps into the gaming sphere with its iOS-devices.
