OUYA anyone?

March?!?!  Yikes.  USB ports will still need compatible software.  Sounds like it's all based on a PC anyway.

Some interesting announcements coming soon I hear.

Oh boy, I can't wait. New pics, by the way. Ouya logo moved to the handle, and buttons are now labelled OUYA.

Were you talking about the limited edition being the announcement?

Funny seeing a thread about this here, but I suppose it shouldn't be.

I contributed a while ago. Should be an interesting toy.

I would still like to see actual pics, not weekly design iterations from a computer, but hey.

The announcement? 
Final Fantasy 3 HD was announced by Square Enix for Ouya

Call me an idiot...but I gave to the Kickstarter. I'm getting the Kickstarter-edition console. My reasoning is that I'm just as much of a collector as I am a gamer, so whether or not the thing is successful isn't too big of a deal. The only thing I have to worry about is if it actually gets made. My rationalization with that is that they planned to do it with $950,000. They'd have to seriously fuck something up to not get it out the door with over six times that amount.

It's a good investment I'd say.  Highest profile Kickstarter stunt so far, so it' a good punt and I really don't think you'll lose your money unless it bombs and even then years later it'll be worth a lot, it's already part of history.

I just read through the Terms of Use again, and it says that if rewards are not given out, they're supposed to give refunds, so I feel a little more assured.

Kickstarter does not offer refunds. A Project Creator is not required to grant a Backer's request for a refund unless the Project Creator is unable or unwilling to fulfill the reward.

So now it's Ouya or bust! They're apparently redesigning the D pad too, thank god.

On a side note, my dad thought it was a pencil sharpener when he first saw the thing.

I thought it looked like a Dyson ashtray

Namco Bandai announced support with pacman, galaga, and tekken. I don't care if its a thirty year old game. GALAGA, BITCHES!

[L___E___T]

Tekken 1??

Update: http://youtu.be/s80z4jOgMek

The little box is basically as powerful as a Tegra 3 Smart Phone, but it has gotten huge support already by various game companies, just to name one, Namco Bandai.

For me it's a No, I won't be getting this not for because it's legally hackable but due to the fact that it's digital-only.

I'm guessing the future of gaming will all be digital-only, so I'll be stuck in the past.

Another thread? Ok. It's a yeah for me. Brown Ouya ALL THE WAY.

I just had an idea last. night. If they allow emulators for the thing, you can plug in a retrode and enjoy your SNES and Genesis games on your Ouya!

It's a no-go for me, as well.  I'll stick to my Wii (and hopefully WiiU) and be happy with that.  I don't need to hack my console, play cell-phone games, or watch all kinds of crazy pay-per-view channels on my TV.  I'm seriously okay with not being overly connected all the time.

Final Fantasy 3 HD was announced by Square Enix for Ouya

This is about the only thing that has piqued my interest in the console.  I'm still highly unlikely to buy one, but I'm not going to say never just in case there's some more really cool old RPG's that get ports to this.

Two OUYA topics merged.
