Pocket-lint: It has been reported by others before, even confirmed by the team behind OUYA themselves, that the forthcoming Android games console is capable of working with USB controllers from rival machines. Now Pocket-lint has learnt exclusively, from its good friends at games development company Puzzl, that many of the wireless controllers already on the market also work too. And that includes the Xbox 360 controller.
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.
Gamers all remember the successful game consoles that have come and gone, but these massive failures slipped through the cracks.
I feel bad for SEGA they really did try to compete with Nintendo, but ended up losing to even the new kid on the block which was PlayStation. The sonic franchise has gone downhill since the early 2000's
Dreamcast was an amazing system which never saw it’s true potential. Why because most fell for the ps2 hype that Sony was selling us. Granted the ps2 was better, but not nearly as much as we were led to believe. Obviously developers were holding off waiting for ps2, by that point Dreamcast was in a limbo state which unfortunately became to late. There was definitely room for both to coexist it just wasn’t meant to be:(
This is just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Man... Wasn't interested in this at all, but this is intriguing for both the controller and the MKV playback reasons. I hope their MKV will support soft subs.
WIN! OUYA will also support Oculust Rift for does who are budget players have no fear OUYA is here. It will have tons of new games made by indie devs you will have a blast with this little power house machine.
OUYA has some VERY intense competition with Nvidia's Project Shield on the Horizon .. And if i'm correct OUYA has a Tegra 3 (+?) chip insited whilest Nvida's PS has their newly announed T4 chip.. sooo OUYA is already outdated..The price is their only selling point imo :)-
Why are they even talking bout OUYA when they haven't even release their boring console available? I'd prefer NVIDIA PROJECT SHIELD
