Hahaha wow, it finally happened. I wondered why the newsletter just kept advertising the same game over and over lately. ("duck game" if you're curious)

So, how long did it last?

Just so nobody else had to, I looked up Duck Game and it resembles Smash Bros made by people who had no idea why Smash Bros was good. Or Towerfall I guess

I'm sure the dusty shelf at the local Target underneath the F2P gift cards would be more than happy to help restock them..

We should start a grassroots effort to get the loyal OUYA fanbase to send in our consoles to Ms. Uhrman en masse, so they can be shipped out to needy families across the nation!

Not gonna lie, I'd buy an OUYA for dirt cheap ($20 or less) purely as a collectors piece. But for the current price I could get an OUYA or I could get a 3D0 off ebay... I think the 3D0 had better games on it.

Being sold out on the main website is a legit big deal. They had enough trouble manufacturing the things the first time around.

I feel the same way, although even $20 seems steep when the thing will break in a week.

As someone who put an unreal engine game on a Tegra 4 (to test it) the performance of these machines is horrible. I could barely get get 10 fps with no lighting or advanced features of any kind. A Tegra 3 has got to be pushed to it's limit by a highly optimized towerfall, the machine was so weak it's absurd.

FYI: Someone made instructions on how to deploy to OUYA almost 6 months ago, it just took the OUYA organization that long to pick up on it and to make a fork/tell Epic about it.

Various sites are reporting that Ouya has a new financial backer.

Not as big as the large round of funding, which lasted all of a year before this round of begging began.

That's simply because China lifted the ban on consoles but instead added a new ban on set-top-boxes. This is a super simple way to switch the product focus so you don't have to throw out all that inventory you hold.

The Journal says both companies have discussed integrating Ouya's existing software and game lineup — which hit the 1,000 milestone in November — to Alibaba's own set-top boxes. A deal to make that happen has yet to be finalized, according to the report, but Alibaba only made its big investment sometime last month.

Hahaha, I bet anyone who buys those things will be so excited to play exciting games like "Controller Tester"

According to this article, China has been making the Ouya. It's just so bad they never bothered to make a knock off because no one would buy it.

I also found this tidbit in looking the above up. "Ouya plans to launch a new console every year" - Feb 2013, kickstarter backer launch the following month.

Here's hoping for the TOUYA. :allears:
