You can still connect the OYUA to the store, it just takes a bit of work. Even though Razer shut down the marketplace, there is a fan one up an running that is a snapshot of everything that was on there before it was taken offline.
@@Aremisalive that's a surprise...I thought the servers don't work anymore cause the Ouya store got closed and the whole thing sold to another company.
@@xenomorphlover like I said in my original comment. It's run by the community. It's not the official store, but it may as well be since it literally has everything ever put on the old store.
This was a super cool idea. Problem is phone/mobile hardware develops way too fast. This thing was already multiple generations behind when it was released finally.
So, I used to own an OUYA back when they first released, and the store interface was pretty much a bunch of rectangle tiles with short clips that played once you set the cursor on them (allowing you to preview the game and what it was about). Oh yeah, You also forgot to show that the controller had a small area on its face where you could slide a finger and have a mouse cursor pop up on screen and you could use that in certain games that required touch-only controls. All in all, I initially was happy with the purchase, but ended up breaking my small OUYA cube because it fell off of my TV stand and I accidentally kicked it hard enough for it to hit the wall and break a piece off inside the Cubed Body itself... Oh, the body is super light and is being weighed down by small weights inside of the OUYA itself. You should do a teardown!
I remember buying an ouya at best buy for $25 on clearance. I used it for emulators for years. Now it just sits on my shelf in the original box as a collector piece. Along with, sadly, my Nvidia shield portable.
I have two shield portables. Love them but you cant do much with them since they run android 5.1. Wish they'd make a new one, they were just to far ahead of the curve.
I agree...if you want a good laugh watch the Josh Topolsky interview with her....its a disaster from the very beginning and she actually says that there is nothing special about this device 🤭
I still use my OUYA a lot. If you overclock it, it's been a really nice and comfy way to play Nintendo DS games at near-full speeds. The fact they sell at prices close to a raspberry pi make them lovely little emulator/media boxes now, and there is a lot you can still do with them.
@@blaire4115 most potato smartphones cost more than I paid for this thing, and getting one with MHL or any decent way to connect via HDMI is a real pain
@@journeytree DS doesn't play PS1, play on the big screen or work as a kodi media centre though, so it's not as practical. I could also get an OUYA for cheaper than a DS right now, so it's not as affordable.
I believe a majority of the emulators on this platform were native. I know there were quite a few when the ouya marketplace was up and running. Also, supposedly this console operated best with a PS3 controller. The Ouya controller was supposedly developed around a PS3 controller.
I was curious about the Ouya back when it was still a thing, but the fandom/cult that ran the official Ouya Forums were so fucking hostile, I ended up buying an Android Stick PC instead. I got a good few years out of that thing, more than I would have out of an Ouya apparently. At least MY device could access the Google Play store out of the box.
I get that vibe about a lot of things when I started searching random forums for an answer to something lol. A lot of people are a bit too hostile on the internet for no reason
@@jrob0021 History is repeating itself with the Amico. It's fans want an echo chamber where its all rainbows and sunshine and no one is allowed to ask any hard questions.
no, you're dreaming. Nothing redeemable about it. It is good paper weight though. Also it wasnt the sales that doomed it, it was a horrible concept to begin with. Free to try games?
The seller intentionally left the controller apart like that, so that the batteries were not completely in the controller as to prevent damage from possible battery leakage. He had your best interests at heart.
I bought one too: almost new boxed for 30 euro. It's not a powerhouse but I'm able to run many emulators on it which works fine! Only for this reason, it's worth it.
I remember the announcement of this thing, I knew it'd be a fail from the way they announced it. Wish it would have worked out free console design sounded awesome but I know personally how hard it is to create a game.
The Ambernic handhelds are kinda neat, and they have entire communities porting games over and writing new firmware for them, with the neat little detail that they run a stripped down Linux system instead of Android. They're mostly focused on emulation but people have made easy to install game ports for AM2R, Undertale, Quake, and even the Marathon Games that were made by Bungie before Halo. I got the RG351MP, love to play games on it, and the metal body of it feels nice and solid so I can just toss it in my pocket without a second thought to play anything from NES to N64 anywhere, it even has two SD card slots that can handle some decent sized cards so it's going to be hard to fill completely
Ouya was DOA because it wasn't doing anything you couldn't already do 3 or 4 years prior with a rooted phone, HDMI to mini HDMI, and a PS3 Controller. I didn't have a console around 2009-2015 so I just ran emulators on my TV at home with my old Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. I also created a custom TV UI that worked well with my PS3 controller and a bunch of Google Play games with controller support. I'd love to make something like this again.
I like that they tried to make something to compete with Nintendo, Playstation and Xbox I imagine it's hard and stressful to get into the console market that being said I don't like the controller plates on the front coming off to change batteries
Still have my ouya with the box. It was such a cool idea done by the wrong people. I remember the spokeswomen being disconnected from the crowd they were targeting. I ended up using mine for emulating nes and snes games
Kudos to Nintendo because even though they shut down the Wii Shop a few years ago you can still connect your Wii to the Wii Shop and re-download any previously purchased digital games. Cool note, if you buy a used unmodified Wii you can do this to see if any are available as long as they weren’t transferred to a Wii U since the games are registered to the console not the user.
So does any PC hooked up to a TV. From any android box to a Raspberry Pi preloaded with emulators and a custom UI, (essentially what this thing was). I like to compare the OUYA to something that was already readily available to anyone, then packaged , labeled and sold, with no clear purpose or need. Like selling ice to someone living in Antarctica.
It worked for everything it didnt advertise. Emulator and kodi use was awesome. Portable. The touchpad control helped it a lot for apps not native for controls.
Did some Googling and it appears that the modding scene for this console is extremely small, so to anyone who knows anything about this console, is there anything worth doing or should I just toss it out my window?
Also, no I didn't realize there was a touch pad on the controller when I was making the video lol. I didn't figure that out when I was reading an article about the OUYA this morning
You can do a mod so to speak where you plug in a USB A to the back of the Ouya and the other end to a computer.. add a config file and you can download stuff from the ouya store.. not everything works but it's a lot of fun seeing what does..
Ouya is pretty good on emulation. You can load 3rd party Ouya store on it. I have Ouya, but don't use it anymore. Just fire it up once a year. Like many other old consoles I have. I don't regret on buying Ouya.
Love your page and website. Glad I’m here before you get to 1 million. If you can lower the GameCube to 75-99$ (with code maybe) that would be so great!👍
I remember buying one of there with a extra controller. I was very excited when it first come out. It had so much Potential. It was a new console they needed to give it more time..
I remember my Samsung Galaxy note 8 inch was running android 4.1.2, jelly bean that was pretty weak. Now, I have the note 10+, android 11 is so much better.
You are the first person who didn't disparage project oh uyoa I am actually impressed... Most people disparage it all the time... Not understanding the one key factor it was its first of its kind and brought Android to the TV and without it we probably would not have Nvidia Shield Google TV Android boxes or any of that we wouldn't have the entertainment mainframe and gaming peripherals we do today
Hahaha yeah I was confused when I first opened it up and it had fallen apart. It was my first time using the controller and I didn't realize that's what was supposed to happen
I can't believe how fast, this crashed...I was so hyped after the Kickstarter! I actually held one, at Play N Trade! By that Friday, when I went back to buy one...they'd already, taken them off the shelves... 😑😒
A little suggestion for the mic, don't have it touching the table. It will reduce the bump sounds... I like the content just a little idea that may help make higher quality videos.
The original premise was the Ouya was going to be a fully open device, developers could write games for it, owners could do what they wanted with it as they owned it not the "console company". Except that didn't happen. They locked the console down meaning owners couldn't unlock the bootloader like they promised and they basically shafted every one from those who bought it to those who might have developed on it.
Even though the store is down, the browser should still work. 1. It didn't load because the home page was set to ouya so typing an other website would work Or 2 it uses ouya servers for dns, so changing those settings in the android settings would work for anything not connecting to the ouya servers
I loved my Ouya it was great when used as a media center , well worth £100 , one of my best ever buys shame others didn't tap into its Hidden features maybe it would have sold more .
Game wise I think most if not all of the Ouya titles have been preserved as part of No-Intro. If I remember correctly they should be in APK format and easily side loaded if you ever wanted to do a follow up of more game play.
The Ouya at least ushered in and showed the potential of success for Android TV products like the Fire Stick and Nvidia Shield. Also it showed that people weren't really interested in using Android for their main gaming experience, and that mobile gaming on the phone is so successful because of it's convenience.
I think the exact opposite. This little Council broke Kickstarter records. It definitely proved that people did want to use devices like this and Android for gaming.
The OUYA has so much hat, but I liked it. It’s exactly what I thought it was. An easy way to play simple games with a hope of a few exclusive simple games. It was cheap and did what I expected. I think the problem was that it was marketed as competition to the big consoles. It definitely was not.
I think the mail company checked the contents cuz it was shipped with a battery, if it was bought used. I don’t think it’s welcome to send batteries in the mail when it isn’t noted. Sometimes they open packages and look inside so they coulda just left it that way so it’d be safer and say hey, this is clear to us and we don’t want this. So they might have pointed it out by doing so
I think the issue (at least from my Google searching) is that the community for this device is pretty much non existent now, so I think there's many other emulation choices that would be better than this (ps Vita, psp, etc)
@@jrob0021 yeah, its just an old obsolete and restricted android 4.1 device, and obviously there are so much better options such as a tv box with android 10 or sth
I have to admit, the knockoff Pokémon cartridges are a _bit_ worrying. If you'd sell them at all, I kinda wish you'd do something with the shell or sticker to make it look obviously different to make it harder to resell on eBay for $90.
OnLive was before Ouya. I had an OnLive console and it worked pretty well but I had very fast internet and lived closed to an OnLive center. OnLive was basically Stadia but in 2008.
Do you have an OUYA?
I did just to play mdickie games
No I do not

Sometimes they open packages and look inside so they coulda just left it that way so it’d be safer and say hey, this is clear to us and we don’t want this. So they might have pointed it out by doing so
I think since that this gaming console is shaped like a cube, so it could look like the Nintendo GameCube.
Bombsquad was the only reason to have an ouya... Fingers crossed we see it come to the switch.
That backpack is clean
You actually have a touchscreen on it. The blank space on the controller works like touchscreen. Something like on the PS4/PS5.
Can you use other USB or Bluetooth controllers? If so it might make a nice little emulation box.
I think the issue (at least from my Google searching) is that the community for this device is pretty much non existent now, so I think there's many other emulation choices that would be better than this (ps Vita, psp, etc)
@@jrob0021 yeah, its just an old obsolete and restricted android 4.1 device, and obviously there are so much better options such as a tv box with android 10 or sth
And this will be the last time it's ever used
I have to admit, the knockoff Pokémon cartridges are a _bit_ worrying. If you'd sell them at all, I kinda wish you'd do something with the shell or sticker to make it look obviously different to make it harder to resell on eBay for $90.
Hu Tao : OUYA? Ouya Ouyaa
9:46 looks like paper airplanes and broken polygons
OnLive was before Ouya. I had an OnLive console and it worked pretty well but I had very fast internet and lived closed to an OnLive center. OnLive was basically Stadia but in 2008.
Oh and id assume the reason the battery's are stored in the front it allows ya easy access to clean the thumb sticks and Dpad.
