When Nintendo unveiled the Wii U at E3 2011 yesterday, our first impression of the device's "keep gaming on your controller without the TV" functionality was that it seemed a little like a reverse version of Apple's AirPlay, but for games. Now Apple is blasting back, albeit indirectly. Top iOS developer Firemint has just announced that Real Racing 2 HD will soon be playable on your TV, using the iPad 2 as your controller. This startling development will all be made possible thanks to the features found in AirPlay, Apple TV, and iOS 5.
While most of the gaming world is getting lost in an endless series of press conferences at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles, we iOS faithful have spent our day gobbling up every tidbit of information to spill out of Apple's Worldwide Develpoer Conference in San Fransisco. Now that their keynote address has come to a close, we were saddened to see that there was little impress on the gaming front. Still, that doesn't mean changes aren't coming.
