New controller will support 'advanced' games, which can be found on the Mobile Console app for Galaxy devices.
Samsung has made a resolute attack on the mobile games market with the debut of the Smartphone GamePad, which will look to compete with the likes of theAndroid-enabled MOGA controller.
The South Korean OEM claims the NFC and Bluetooth-connected GamePad will 'enhance the gaming experience of Galaxy devices' and that it's a 'response to the rapidly expanding global mobile gaming market'.
The Mobile Console app, meanwhile, is set to complement the gadget and can be accessed via a dedicated PLAY button or via download from Samsung Apps – a platform the company has been keen to enhance over the year to rival Google Play.
The app allows GamePad users to browse and buy 35 compatible 'advanced console-quality games' at launch, including: Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Asphalt 8: Airborne, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, Virtua Tennis Challenge andPrince of Persia: The Shadow and the Flame.
The controller comes with a steel frame and is compatible with devices between four to 6.3-inches, but can also be connected to TVs via HDMI cable or AllShare Screen Mirroring found on the devices.
GamePad will launch in the UK in 'coming weeks' but is available in selected European markets now.
No word on price.
