The Ouya game console is becoming more functional, with the addition of support for the OnLive service

Probably, many have already heard about the Ouya game console, which has the size of a Rubik's Cube, and is based on the Android OS. Not so long ago, news was published on Habré that this project raised $ 5.5 million on Kickstarter, which is the exception rather than the rule for a hardware project. The developers got even more than they planned, now they are going to add new features to Ouya.

So, previously it was believed that this game console in functionality will not exceed a tablet or smartphone on Android OS. Of course, it is not very correct to compare a smartphone and a game console, but nonetheless. Thanks to a good configuration, the device can provide comfortable leisure for lovers of “mobile” games. Well, for example, Shadowgun and Angry Birds.

Now, this console will offer gamers hundreds of other games available through OnLive. At the moment, this service offers games from more than 80 gaming studios. In addition, the game started on Ouya can be continued on a regular PC. As you know, the service offers 30 free minutes for a game to be sure that the selected game suits you completely and completely. In the future, if you want to continue playing, you will have to buy the right to play.

In general, the Ouya game console now offers not only mini-games, mobile games (including various emulators of other game consoles), but also full-fledged computer games. It may well be that such functionality of this game console will attract many gamers to it, who will also like the compactness of this console.

By the way, an excellent game controller is also released for Ouya (pictured in the announcement). Its cost will be about 30 US dollars. The controller + console kit will cost $ 99.
