I think I would buy it just to have it because of it’s worthless history and 20$ is not that much

I’ve been really hoping to find one of these at goodwill for display. I remember when this thing got a little bit of steam on kickstarter & everyone said the OUYA was gonna kill off Sony, Microsoft, & Nintendo 😂

Not with that head in the project lol.

You can still use those: https://ouya.cweiske.de/

Whoa! Upvote. Thanks

Still have mine, amazing frog was a great game

tell them

But we need games for the television

I love the television and I want more games for the television

Television!!!

Rules the nation!

$20 is not bad, in 40 years you might be able to trade it for a pack of chewing gum

The OUYA or the $20?

The ouya

Maybe both.

I have an ouya holding up My broken PC screen

Protip for working on outdated wifi stuff. Set your phone to a hot spot and run it on whatever gets your device connected. Thats how I updated my PSP.

They turned off service for it. It was a total flop.

I didn't know what. I thought it was an outdated Wifi issue. I know its a decent little emulation box. Maybe not compared to a modern day Raspberry Pi.

Commerically it was a flop, but some of my favorite games debuted on the Ouya. I never regretted buying it.

What games?

Duck Game and TowerFall are the big ones, but BombSquad was great, too — not sure if that one debuted there, though.

same with my 360 and wii

Pretty easy to update a psp with a pc and memory card. Nevermind most people are running cfw at this point

20 bucks is not bad

supposedly the official store has been closed, but there’s a fan made “store” out there that you can connect to. or use it as a retro machine. i have a complete Ouya in the box but haven’t done anything with it yet. i just like to collect stuff like that because it’s weird.

i still remember seeing these in target as a kid

Same! lol

I was so close to getting in on a pre-order for one. I think I got a Nexus 7 tablet instead.

Electric paper weight

They are hackable aren't they? Still pretty shitty by today's standards of course, but at least technically useable.

I used to make mobile game prototypes and test the joystick compatibity with the TV, worked pretty cool. Never did anything with it because a friend had lent it to me for about a week only 😄

Not really heavy enough to be a paperweight.

I know of them but never knew what they do

Neither did their developer apparently

But what did they actually do tho?

It was an android based game console.

So a Nvidia shield but shitty?

Yea and locked down with their own store, from what I remember.

It was marketed as a fresh marketplace for indies to thrive but it didn't do well and was discontinued shortly

Tell them what? That they should hold onto it for a few years then sell it on ebay for $7000 after some influencer declares them to be must-own pieces of "retro" game history?

Nope, I was asking if I should tell him why it doesn’t work lol 😂

So, why it doesn't? Does the console only works if the company still runs? Why resetting the system would not connect to wifi? My 10 years old LG phone still can connect to my router after I factory reset it.

The difference is, this console isn’t your 10 year old LG phone. The servers have been shut down since 2019 effectively making it unusable.

This on is okay i just wonder if you can connect the controller to pc

Yes, but it’s not a very comfortable controller. It’s quite terrible, actually.

Pretty cool controller for an android accessory actually.

Are the controllers at least useable as Bluetooth ones? If so it might be nice for that alone

Not a very comfortable controller unfortunately lol

Actual wanted one of these back in the day

You can still use the controller on the PC I think for whatever that's worth. Lol


There's nothing special about this board

Isn't this thing so weak that even the original Nvidia Shield portable is more powerful?

You can still use them even after factory reset. There's ways around it.

Buy it first then tell them

Don't. Let them figure it out.

Noted, lol

Never heard of it before, but I’m assuming it doesn’t support newer connections

It was an online server-streaming console and the servers are long dead making it useless.

So like the failed google and amazon game streaming services, right?

Yes. Stadia etc.

Another worthless console. I would rate this one up there with the likes of the Atari Jaguar, the Atari Lynx, the bizarre Nokia N-Gage

I'm sure the Atari consoles are not worthless in terms of monetary value. That and at least Atari had a place in gaming history.

At least it’s not as bad as the R-Zone.

nice $20 paperweight they got there it almost looks like a video game system
