[QUOTE="spoonman, post: 164211, member: 382"] I just bought an Amazon Fire TV and was both surprised and disappointed to see that you can not play Pinball Arcade with the included Fire TV Bluetooth remote. I would say maybe 5%-10% of owners are likely to shell out another $40 on a compatible controller for a $99 box. Zen Pinball includes an option to use the Amazon Fire TV remote and it actually works pretty well. Their default mapping is the controller LEFT/RIGHT to control the flippers. The D-pad was designed so you can hold down both directions simultaneously so this works out great. You can nudge the table, change the camera angle, and pause the game. It's not the perfect controller, but it's INCLUDED WITH EVERY FIRE TV increasing Farsight's possible customer base by a lot! I would like to suggest you also include an option to hold the remote like a Wii Remote so UP on the D-Pad would become the LEFT flipper and the play/pause button could be mapped to the RIGHT flipper. D-Pad press in could be either camera or nudge. And you have couple other buttons to as well. Support for the default remote can and should be added IMO. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
