Little by little the fourth generation Apple TV is filling with applications and games, especially games. The possibility of using bluetooth controllers previously authorized by Apple to enjoy games on Apple TV is one of the best ideas the guys based in Cupertino have had. Thanks for this possibility to enjoy games like Modern Combat, to give an example of those I know, It will allow us to enjoy much more than we tried to do it with the Apple Remote.

When we go to the Apple TV App Store and we go around or do a search, when pressing on an application in question, the description will show the text Optional game controller. This message assures us that if we have a Bluetooth remote compatible with Apple TV (MFI) we can connect it and enjoy the game in another way, dispensing with the Apple Remote with any of the gamepads we have.

If we are going to use the Apple TV to play directly, it is assumed that we will already have the remote associated with our device. If that's the case, too we can use it to move through the different menus of the Apple TV. For this, we will use the controls to move up, down, right and left, while the A buttons will be used to select and the B button will allow us to access the main menu.

Although the type of games that can get to the Apple TV, you might think that the console market could be in jeopardyNothing is further from the truth, although the applications offer us a very good graphic quality, due to the limitation of the size of the applications imposed by Apple, the consoles will be able to continue on their way without problems without this device being able to endanger its market .
