The flurry news regarding the Android gaming console OUYA has died down for a bit now as the unit is currently finishing up development and getting ready for production. While we all wait for the March 2013 release of this new home gaming console unit, OUYA has decide to announce ten more games that will be available when the unit hits store shelves in March 2013.
Pier Solar HD is a massive retro-style 16-bit RPG that is actually a revamped version of the original Pier Solar RPG from back in the day. The developers recently took to Kickstarter to fund this new remake for a few platforms, those being Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux and the Dreamcast. However, in their stretch goals, the developers had Android and OUYA set at the $175,000 mark. Well their Kickstarter closed at just over $231K meaning both the Android and OUYA versions will be made.
A massive retro-style 16-bit RPG called Pier Solar HD is up on Kickstarter looking for funding to finish the game. Originally designed for the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis as Pier Solar, this new HD version is slated for release on the Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux and the Dreamcast. Yes, that is correct, the Dreamcast. So why are we reporting on this? Because the Kickstarter project, which is fully funded, is less than $25,000 away from reaching its stretch goal which would bring Pier Solar HD to Android and OUYA with 5 days left to go.
A new Action Adventure game has hit up Kickstarter in the hopes of getting funding to help get completed.

Since the inception of OUYA, the upcoming Android-based gaming console that will also be open source, the slated release time frame for the console to hit store shelves has been around March 2013.

However, it could be coming sooner than that, a lot sooner in fact.

The developers of a new 3D turn-based RPG has hit up Kickstarter for funding to help finish their game called Beasts & Blades.
