The kfconsole was just a PC with a custom case that had a heated drawer for food. The idea was that a high end PC would generate enough heat to cook something.
The thing is Amazon discontinued the specific game stuff, But they didn't discontinue that you can play games on fire products. Minecraft is still listed as a fully supported Amazon fire distributed game. It probably just has to be a modern version of fire OS
Trouble is... You've got to have space for it. They keep messing with the OS and how it will/won't accept external storage, and while they SHOW more storage they start acting up if you used anywhere between 250-500mb of the available space -I've got four generations of them, and it's the same on all of them. So it could probably RUN minecraft fine, but good luck storing it lol. For what it's worth though, if you've got a good desktop PC, they're great clients for moonlight streaming from it. It's nice having a stick that I KNOW I can plug in and stream my games to basically anywhere.

At least the Ouya had humble origins, a Kickstarter that massively overestimated the interest in what was basically an android game box. Looks like Amazon seemed to fall down all the same pitfalls that Ouya did, like the mediocre hardware and especially the lack of any of the major android play store games with out-of-the box compatibility. At least the Ouya eventually developed a cult following with people's retro emulators.
This is actually the Amazon version of the stadia, which I'll be generous and give it 4 month before pulls a "we killed it" because it already as all the bad console smells, frequent crashes, only wifi options are with Amazon router, only 3rd party games with absolutely no exclusives. It's like a complete rip off of the Stadia
The Ouya was meant to be a cheap entry point for indie developers since Nintendo didn't do indies, Sony rarely did indies, Microsoft made you jump through hoops and kept you locked away on XBLA instead of the main store, and Steam Greenlight was brand new at the time. Too bad for them Sony and Microsoft stopped their BS over indie games and Nintendo eventually followed.
@@2Scribble *_Stadia worked really well._* But this is why it died. Because YOU were convinced by the tech media that stadia wasn't good. But _it was._ It worked _extremely_ well. Anyone that says stadia didn't work either never used it or theyre full of shtit.

I think the reason why companies like Amazon, Google and even Ouya failed miserably in the console market is that they viewed games as merely tech products, that they could develop and release for consumption, instead of putting any thought or effort into what might be fun, surprising and attractive to their audience. The Silicon Valley approach isn't really conducive to artistic creations, or even entertainment really.
To me it's funny that with each time these "gaming consoles" release, most people rave that "this is the future of gaming" and it's a "gamechanger" and yet it changes nothing, not to mention their overall lifespan until they realize it was a mistake in the first place. I remember both the Ouya and Stadia campaign ads at the time and the reviews from a lot of "gaming journalists" that swore that it would take the world by storm and that ended up being a bunch of nothing.

Sometime, you should go over the leapster tv console. It was made by leapfrog in I think 2005 and had completely unique controllers and I have never seen anything close to them anywhere else. It also had a built in camera used like the Microsoft Kinect, overall, it was an extremely obscure and weird console, perfect for this channel!
The fact that I got a free Stadia console by signing up for internet says everything you need to know. Nice to know that controller is now just a really good bluetooth controller. I will have to test that out. If i remember, it was a pretty good controller.
You NEED to do an episode on Amazon Kindle “Active Content” which were e-ink video games. I have a bunch still in my keyboard Kindle. EA did a bunch of them which were actually perfect on that platform.
I'll always laugh at the fact that most people thought that Stadia had a chance as a gaming console and that cloud gaming was the next big thing or the future of gaming, only to fail so horribly in the process.
6:00 The TV portion of it is so real. I used to use an Xbox One X for Blu-Rays and RUclips. But it would fail to launch anything until I restarted it. I’ve factory reset it twice to fix it; Now I use a Roku Streaming Stick+ from my childhood days at college and none of my roommates complain anymore. Roku just works.
6:13 not to defend amazon but they also have their own lines of fire TVs, or at least they did, idk if they still do. they sucked ass. the amount of times my tv would crash while i was doing something simple like browsing youtube is insane
My dad bought one of these back then and I do remember having fun with that FPS tower defense game, but then a few days later I learned there were other games just like it that did the concept much better, promptly forgetting about the fire console almost immediately
Fire TV is still the best way of turning a normal tv into a "smart" tv, i.e. streaming compatible. I have one in my garage I only use for youtube when I'm working, and it handles that pretty decently (and actually better than some _actual_ smart tvs). And I vastly prefer it to Roku, solely because I can easily sideload apps into it
This is why if i ever made a company and planned on making a gaming console or a phone, I'll need to hire the right people to bring my ideas to life. I can't do everything by myself afterall.
These tech giants like Amazon and Google have no business in video game hardware, because they aren’t focused on AAA game development, which is the biggest barrier to entry in game systems! You have to have the ecosystem of home consoles with just turning your console on and loading a game instantly without always online service! Also do a video on the Ouya!
They also target a market segment that basically doesn't exist: People who aren't content with playing games on the phone they already have, but also aren't willing to buy a Switch/PS/etc for some reason.
@@crazynaut223 the Ouya can only work offline for the games already downloaded, people barely bought any game from their online store. It was mostly used as an emulator box, that was the main reason those kickstarters funded it! But by the time it came out, there were android powered computers that were more powerful than the Ouya!
I actually had one back in the day and played a lot of Hungry Shark and Sonic 2. If you can find some games worth it, it could be pretty cool to play certain mobile games on a full size tv screen. But I can confirm that it was one of the video games systems of all time.
i got the original version of this -- the one before yours where the controller was weirder. the thing you're kinda missing is that you could sideload android apps, which was unique to the firetv among streaming things back then, and thus you could emulate
What you said at the end makes me think of Netflix’s endeavours into having. They were hiring a new gaming head managerial role this year. Can’t wait to hear your deconstruction of it when it inevitably fails.
I wonder if this video was recorded before that Roku TV software update that forced motion smoothing on for everyone happened given Scott just gushing over Roku TVs.
I'm not sure when you guys are hung up on that. Roku TVs have always had it on or off by default with no way to disable or enable it. If its advertised for a specific Roku TV then it's on and can't be turned off. Always been this way.
I remember having an amazon fire tv stick as a kid and i got the fire tv controller and played on it a lot, was pretty slow and annoying but one genuine game you missed is Titan Souls
I was using my roommates 1080p fire stick and noticed it was just a laggy mess. Took my 8-year-old 2nd gen fire TV box out of storage, reformatted it, and installed all my apps. This thing still rips! Happy I held on to it.
What's funny is my parents have a Samsung TV and they prefer the interface on their fire sticks so much so that they bought a fire stick and plugged it into the Samsung TV.
What no love for the Nvidia shield? The only one of the bunch that came the closest to actually being a game console? And is still a solid stream box today. In fact a shield is what I'm using instead of that god-awful interface on my LG OLED.
The closest thing to a real game console you're going to get out of any of these streaming boxes is the Nvidia Shield. Still probably not worth picking up though.
Yeah but that Aldi's OYUA controller and mid range phone hardware from probably 2012 given that's its almost a decade old, will feel like playing cyberpunk with an Amico. That's even if your lucky to get the app to work or it has enough ram to stream. Most devices nowadays get gimped firmware or orphaned a few years in so I doubt it's pleasant below 4k max firestick.
You are saying it as if it gives the fire tv any relevance at all. One failure collaborated with another, "OMG what a game changer! This changes the gaming industry forever" 😂
Executives who think they're good at everything because they're good at one thing are hilarious. And terrifying, cause what they're ACTUALLY good at is: gutting a company or project for money.

What video can he possibly make about the Ouya when its online services are long gone
@@ToastyMozart more like a redundant product that has games can already be played on mobile devices.
@@crazynaut223 the Ouya can only work offline for the games already downloaded, people barely bought any game from their online store. It was mostly used as an emulator box, that was the main reason those kickstarters funded it! But by the time it came out, there were android powered computers that were more powerful than the Ouya!
@@froggystyle9068 you’re the one saying nonsense here! I’m talking about video games, don’t lecture here!
You finally get to see the product he’s talking about at this time 8:33
"I don't need 2 factor authentication" Says the guy whose twitter account got hacked for that reason
I actually had one back in the day and played a lot of Hungry Shark and Sonic 2. If you can find some games worth it, it could be pretty cool to play certain mobile games on a full size tv screen. But I can confirm that it was one of the video games systems of all time.
I had this when it came out and truly the only thing I remember is the controller had AWFUL joystick drift after about a month.
These tech companies really don't think highly of their customers
I expected this to be some random tech guy and then I hear Scotts voice.
Sent me into a state of paralyses.
slowly counting down the days until we see a game console made by youtube
been binging all of the scotts stash videos and this conveniently dropped mid binge
I can't wait for Scott to cover the KFC Chicken Computer
i got the original version of this -- the one before yours where the controller was weirder. the thing you're kinda missing is that you could sideload android apps, which was unique to the firetv among streaming things back then, and thus you could emulate
i also played the android version of San Andreas
What they said!!!
What you said at the end makes me think of Netflix’s endeavours into having. They were hiring a new gaming head managerial role this year. Can’t wait to hear your deconstruction of it when it inevitably fails.
I didn’t even know this existed. If it can run retro arch well that would be pretty cool
I treat this channel as a podcast library
I wonder if this video was recorded before that Roku TV software update that forced motion smoothing on for everyone happened given Scott just gushing over Roku TVs.
I'm not sure when you guys are hung up on that. Roku TVs have always had it on or off by default with no way to disable or enable it. If its advertised for a specific Roku TV then it's on and can't be turned off. Always been this way.
The controller looks like they bought a bunch overstock of Steam controllers
CAN’T WAIT FOR THE AWARDS SHOW IN CHICAGO!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I remember having an amazon fire tv stick as a kid and i got the fire tv controller and played on it a lot, was pretty slow and annoying but one genuine game you missed is Titan Souls
I was using my roommates 1080p fire stick and noticed it was just a laggy mess. Took my 8-year-old 2nd gen fire TV box out of storage, reformatted it, and installed all my apps. This thing still rips! Happy I held on to it.
Okay Scott wait. Amazon does make games. The western version of Lost Ark, and New World.
There’s some kid out there that this was all they had and have fond memories of this
So Amazon actually has an Android APP Store...
Bro, I was just trying to learn on how good this thing games and this guy just yaps the entire time
What's funny is my parents have a Samsung TV and they prefer the interface on their fire sticks so much so that they bought a fire stick and plugged it into the Samsung TV.
It took me 12 minutes and a reflection in the controller to realize this was Scott The Woz...
jeez im slow
Yes, but real Scott tho
me too, i think im retarded
What no love for the Nvidia shield? The only one of the bunch that came the closest to actually being a game console? And is still a solid stream box today. In fact a shield is what I'm using instead of that god-awful interface on my LG OLED.
I only realized halfway through the LGTV rant that this might be the first boomer stuck in a zoomer's body and it's brilliant
The closest thing to a real game console you're going to get out of any of these streaming boxes is the Nvidia Shield.
Still probably not worth picking up though.
15:01 this explains why Scott got hacked on Twitter or whatever it was a while ago now
Oh man I had one of these in my teens. I beat shovel knight plus the plague knight campaign on it. It also had crossy road.
"Heck, i dont even trust videogame companies when it comes to videogames these days!" absolutely true
This didn’t age well. Amazon just announced that Xbox Game Pass will now be on Amazon Fire Stick
Congratulations
@@banshiii4049your welcome
Yeah but that Aldi's OYUA controller and mid range phone hardware from probably 2012 given that's its almost a decade old, will feel like playing cyberpunk with an Amico.
That's even if your lucky to get the app to work or it has enough ram to stream. Most devices nowadays get gimped firmware or orphaned a few years in so I doubt it's pleasant below 4k max firestick.
You are saying it as if it gives the fire tv any relevance at all. One failure collaborated with another, "OMG what a game changer! This changes the gaming industry forever" 😂
Amazon's navigation speed is ridiculously slow. I can't stand it sometimes 😭. Just glad someone said something
Well, i have news for you, scott. They make OLED roku TVs now.
"It can work on a mobile device". literally 3ds game
This is giving me real Ouya vibes
Executives who think they're good at everything because they're good at one thing are hilarious. And terrifying, cause what they're ACTUALLY good at is: gutting a company or project for money.
Barney: 9:17
Fred: Barney! that is not a call of duty game, Velma gonna kill me when I don't get the game in time for her.
To be fair, when I first played asphalt 8 on my phone with my cousins, I loved it. For about a week.
asphalt 8 was an awesome game the updates made it worde tho
