In an interesting move, Ouya has announced that we will soon be seeing the software portion of their platform on other hardware, leaving behind the exclusivity their software had with their Android-powered console system of the same name. This move is to make the Ouya platform more ubiquitous and platform agnostic.

[Updated] Award winning LAZA KNITEZ!! will be launching onto Android as an Ouya exclusive this March
A new game will be launching exclusively onto Ouya next month called LAZA KNITEZ!! which won the 2012 Nordic Game Conference Indie Sensation Award. This game is a local multiplayer title where players will choose their warrior and set off against other players in futuristic fantasy themed combat for dominance.
Ouya and Team2Bit have signed a deal for a two game release with the first of two titles being the button-mashing brawler named Fist Puncher. This arcade game is fashioned around the old school 8-bit brawlers that used to be very popular back in the day.
We don’t usually get to talk about games going on sale over on the Ouya Marketplace, usually because if and when a game does go on sale, it usually isn’t marketed as being on sale in any sort of capacity. Apparently today being Valentine’s Day makes things a little different as three rather good games have gone on sale over on the Ouya Marketplace.
Well it is that time again for another round-up of Android games on sale this weekend. With Valentine’s Day being today, there are a decent amount of games on sale right now. We have Sega putting up a few of their titles on sale, a bunch of random games discounted, and even a few Ouya games on sale.
Ouya has been busy these days it seems, first with the limited white edition Ouya release, then the double storage black Ouya edition and now we have pre-orders available for colored faceplates for the Ouya controller.
Pinball Arcade by FarSight Studios is one of the two major pinball platforms on numerous platforms including Android (both mobile and consoles like Ouya). Pinball Arcade up until now would reproduce actual pinball tables that used to exist, and some still do, in arcades and other places, bringing these true to life reproductions to mobile platforms so we could all play them.
When the Ouya was announced many many moons ago, one game that was supposed to be one of the headlining titles for the Android-powered game console was Hawken, the mech-filled combat MMOFPS game that many of us would actually like to play. With the new announcement of Hawken being released onto Steam this month, it begs the question as to where the Ouya version of this game is and if we will ever actually see it.
Ouya teased not too long ago that it would be releasing an improved version of their original Android-powered game console in the near future. This is not the Ouya 2 or any sort of next-gen version of the console but just an enhanced version of the original with some improvement to storage space, the controller and other features.
Soul Fjord is a rare type of game. It’s ambitious, it possesses a strong, defining sense of style, place and time. It’s marriage of 1970’s Funk and Norse Mythology feels completely natural. It’s one of the rare instances of a game that attempts of a Tarantino-esque mash-up of style and genre, and under the leadership of Kim Swift, Soul Fjord pulls this off deftly.
