The Android console was released in the UK today, priced at £99.99
The console was funded by Kickstarter and raised $8.5 million, with creative backing from Square Enix, the makers of Final Fantasy III, which is available as a release title.
With the tech in place, existing Android developers can port their games to the Ouya easily. The developer toolkit is shipped with the console, so new game makers have a new option to try making their own game into a reality.
The specs are 8gig storage, HD graphics for TV ,1.7GHz Nvdia Tegra 3 quad-core chip with 1GB of RAM, the console also supports both WiFi and Ethernet.
Julie Uhrman, one of Ouya’s founders stated that “there will be a new Ouya every year, but the games will backwards compatible and tied to the user’s account, rather than the hardware itself.”
It’ll be interesting to see how well the Ouya does in the UK, and whether it’ll be around to stay.
