GamesRadar - The Ouya is where indie games rule. With nearly the same free reign as the indie scene on PC, the Ouya marketplace is open to a colossal range of Android ports, converted Flash games, and original projects. They're all free to try, but with so many available, it can be tricky knowing which ones you should download. Well, wonder no more--these are the best of the best on Ouya, and are absolutely worth your time and money.
From systems that could keep your beer cool, to oddities trying to get in on the popularity of VHS and laserdisc, you’ve got some very, very weird video game consoles out there.
I had the LaserActive... it was a nice collectors piece but not very practical. Especially when it came to needing recapping. I think i paid all of about $50 for the floor model from an incredible Universe back in the day. I ended up selling it many years later for $300 at the time due to it needing a new laser and the aforementioned recapping.
An honorable mention not on the list would be the VM Labs Nuon. It basically looked like any regular DVD player but it had ports on it for controllers to play specific games. one of which is still exclusive to it with Tempest 3000. It also offered nuon enhanced DVD movies with extra content not accessible by regular players.
Virtual Boy, Sega Nomad, Ouya and the other troubled game systems that nobody bought.
How has this article missed out Sega's Dreamcast and Nintendo's Wii U, two consoles that were actually superb devices in their own right, but were seen as failed due to lacklustre sales at the time of release?
Wonder how long before Stadia appears on the list surprised the Ngage is not on that list
Talk about a blast to the past.......I remember trying the virtual boy at Toy R Us and it was cool but I did feel slightly disoriented afterwards......good article.
The Ouya, a failed Android gaming console from early in this generation, is getting a second lease on life thanks to Internet archivists and some new software.
That's pretty cool they were able to bring it back. It sucks when something online only gets killed.
I got mine when it first launched, however it wasn't good for anything other than retro emulation. I couldn't sell the thing fast enough. Managed to get almost all my money back selling it on eBay.
I guess the Stadia launch is bringing back memories of other failed consoles/services.
What games?
If you think the only games that exist are Call of Duty and its clones, I guess you could say that. If you enjoy innovative and creative indie games, there are more games on Ouya at launch than any other system in history.
It's not just android games. Also original titles built just for Ouya. What, no one has checked out or used the sdk or Unity for Ouya? Ah wait, it's easier to spout off ignorant nonsense than actaully know anything about the product and tools right?
