Nvidia’s Tegra 4 Android-powered handheld gaming system called Project Shield has finally become a real thing instead of just a demo device seen at conferences and on video. Today the company has announced that pre-orders will begin on May 20th, 2013 with a shipping date happening sometime in late June 2013.
Today Ouya has received some additional funding to the tune of $15 million which should help the company get units built and shipped out much quicker in order to meet the demand for the Android-powered game console. However there is a bit of bad news that comes along with this additional funding.
The world of Android-powered game console has just gotten a little bigger today as BlueStacks has announced that they are getting into the console world with GamePop. What is interesting about GamePop isn’t so much that it is an Android-powered game console, there seems to be a new one every couple of months, but its business model as it will be a monthly subscription service.
Alright maybe the insides aren’t so gooey after all but the folks over at iFixIt have gotten a hold of an Ouya unit, fondling it lovingly, before tearing all of its guts out for everyone to view. The result is that the Ouya is actually quite repairable, at least according to the iFixIt guys.
With the OUYA console just months away from consumers and it finally landing in the hands of developers, the “hands-on” impressions are starting to roll in. As it turns out, DroidGamers has yet to get their hands on a console to officially review. Also, as we get closer and closer to the OUYA release more of the promises or intentions of this platform are beginning to fall flat.
While we don’t talk about hardware here all the time, we do get to talk about it when it pertains to Android gaming in some fashion. With Nvidia’s Tegra 4 chipset on the horizon and soon to be invading our new Android devices, getting a peek at any device that will contain the new Tegra 4 chipset is always nice. Toshiba has had their upcoming Tegra 4 Android tablet leaked out along with a glimpse at Android 4.2.1.
Gameloft has announced which of their current games in their catalog are available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. As of right now there are 10 games available on Google Play that are currently available for Galaxy S4 owners with another 10 available through the Samsung Apps Store. Some of the games available on Samsung’s Apps Store are also available on Google Play while other titles, like Dungeon Hunter 4, are only available through Samsung’s Apps Store.
OUYA has come out today with an announcement regarding the content which will be arriving soon for their Android-powered game console. According the to company, they already have around 10,000 developers signed up and working titles for their game console.
The bigger version of the original MOGA game controller has finally made its way to both retail outlets and online store for sale now. For those of you who have been waiting to pick one of these up instead of the smaller, more compact version of the controller, you can now do so.
With Tegra 4 products launching in the near future and the fact we already know about Tegra 5 chipsets (codenamed Logan) already in development, it is interesting to see a demo video of Battlefield 3 running on an early Tegra 5 chipset even though Tegra 4 devices haven’t even hit store shelves for consumers yet.
