With the explosion of mobile gaming (due in no small part to the egg-bombing Angry Birds), the Ouya was bound to happen. It?s a $100 game console powered by Android that puts indie games right into your living room.
The specs for the Ouya means this cube of games isn?t a slouch: the console comes loaded with an NVIDIA Terga3 quad-core processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 Gigs of flash storage, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Android 4.0. A requirement for publishing games on the Ouya is making at least some of the game free to play, a la TF2 or LoL. In addition to being a video game console, Ouya will also pull down Twitch.TV?streams allowing you to watch Starcraft championships and other e-sports on your big-screen TV.
Not only does the Ouya play games, its designers made the device easily hackable. There aren?t enough details to know exactly what this means, but we?re sure we?ll see a full-blown Linux distro running on the Ouya within a week of release.
As of this writing, the Ouya Kickstarter?has already met their funding goal of $950,000 by taking in two million?a freaking ton of money?with 29 days left. This might become the most successful Kickstarter to date, and we can?t wait to see all the neat stuff and hacks for the Ouya in the near future.
