Apple TV games must use the remote — no controller-only games allowed

If you were thinking that Apple TV could steal triple-A gaming away from consoles, you might want to think again.

Apple TV games must work with the standard remote for the platform, which includes a clickable touch-sensitive surface with gyroscopre controls, discovered by a developer as reported on Touch Arcade. This means that designer can’t make games for the Apple TV that require the use of MFi controllers that include more standard configurations like buttons and analog sticks — unless they also support the box’s remote.
