Developers say new Apple devices — even the Apple Watch — will be good for games

Apple product introductions are usually good for mobile-game companies. Tuesday was no different as Apple unveiled its iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch devices. With those gadgets, Apple is staying on its path of attracting more hardcore gamers while still broadening the reach of games to new audiences.

Mobile developers are happy to create high-end, console-like titles that take advantage of Apple’s hardware. Super Evil Megacorp, a studio based in San Mateo, Calif., scored a huge coup as chief creative officer Stephan Sherman went on stage to show off Vainglory, a multiplayer online battle offering designed for both tablets and smartphones.
