I think the Ouya has been something like dead for a while now. I'm a bit surprised that Razer bought them. |

Sucks but the thing was a piece of shit from the start. (no offense to people that bought it.) --- End quote --- I didn't expect much from it from the start, but I got it for pretty cheap, and I love to collect consoles, even the unloved ones. :-\ --- End quote --- Personally, I never thought of it as anything more than a fun little gadget to mess around with, especially at less than $100. I use it as a standalone Android console, and it's still a nice little machine for all sorts of emulation, from DOS to SNES to Arcade. But as far as the stuff it was intended to do, it wasn't all that great. I'm not even sure when I last used the OUYA controller, no need when I can use a Logitech wireless keyboard and a SNES controller with USB adapter. --- End quote --- Same here. I've been using my extra PS3 controller. Much more comfortable. |

I thought it would get all the games that were on google play, but sadly no. |

The failure of OUYA, with it's ensemble of ready to play Android games, is why I worry about the RetroVGS. I'd love to see it succeed, but when the biggest thing they hype about the most ambitious cartridge based system to come on the market in years is what colors it comes in.......I have some serious doubts. |

But I can't bring myself to back it because I just don't see how it will make it. Cart games are extremely expensive to manufacture, and when you sell in small quantities (which the VGS will undoubtedly do) they the price goes up even more. If the OUYA couldn't succeed with cheap as digital games, how can the VGS? I hope I'm wrong as they are doing what I would love to see a Nintendo do, but realistically, it just isn't going to happen. |
