Apple's play here would put its App Store in a better place to compete with alternative app stores in the EU. Assuming that means you can actually play games from the consoles they emulate, it could be a huge deal for retro gaming fans.
The ideal situation will be a controller that attaches directly to your phone, like the Backbone One. It's kind of like Switch Joy-Cons, in that it clamps onto either end of an iPhone in landscape orientation.
