PowerA™ today announced that MOGA™, the first complete mobile gaming system for Android devices, will be available in more than 7,000 stores in the U.S. starting on October 21, 2012 through a nationwide network of retailers. Consumers can also pre-order the MOGA system online now from Amazon.com, Toysrus.com, Best Buy.com, Walmart.com and PowerA.com. MOGA will also be available in more than 2,000 T-Mobile stores starting in November.

“MOGA turns almost any Android device into an amazing game system,” Joe Campos, Buyer Electronics at Toys”R”Us. “MOGA is a must-have gift for the gamer on your holiday list.”

At launch consumers will be able to try out MOGA before they buy at T-Mobile, Toys”R”Us and select Best Buy stores.

“T-Mobile has an incredible line-up of smartphones with amazing screens and lightning fast processors,” said Brad Duea, senior vice president of marketing at T-Mobile USA. “We partner with innovative leaders like MOGA to provide our customers the best mobile gaming experiences and we’re excited our customers will be able to take their Android devices, pair them with MOGA, and turn their phones into a complete mobile game platform.”

MOGA has attracted support from top mobile developers and publishers who want to bring console-like precision and control to their Android phone and tablet-based games. Gameloft, Atari, Namco Bandai, SEGA, Remedy Entertainment and other acclaimed publishers have committed to developing MOGA compatible games. New game titles, developers and publishers are coming on board each month. For a complete list of games that support MOGA, visit www.PowerA.com/MOGA.

MOGA combines three key innovations into a single powerful system. The MOGA Controller is the first state-of-the-art, full-featured controller designed specifically for mobile devices. Pocket-sized, portable and connected via Bluetooth®, the MOGA Controller features the controls that mobile gamers and developers demand: dual analog sticks, two shoulder buttons, four action buttons and standardized start and select buttons. In addition, the MOGA Software Development Kit (SDK) provides mobile game developers greater precision, robust control and enhanced display abilities while enabling fast, efficient development of rich new game titles and MOGA enhancement of existing titles. Finally, the MOGA™ Pivot App enables gamers to easily browse, find and play a library of MOGA Enhanced Games in one convenient location. MOGA Pivot App will be available free via Google Play.

The MOGA system will initially support Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and higher mobile devices.
