My friend got an ouya, I think he mostly got it as a bit of a curiosity since he was a game dev student (and now does it professionally)
It absolutely didn’t do anything particularly different or better than any other gadget we could have hooked up to the TV to game on, but we did have a lot of fun with it for a while. It was kind of nice that it was so small so he could carry it around easily if he wanted to take it somewhere for a party or something.
And a few of the games we first discovered on the ouya are still mainstays of our parties when we manage to get together as busy adults.
Through a series of moves, roommate swaps, and marriage, that ouya (though not the controller) has actually now ended up in my possession
It’s on the left with my small collection of retro consoles and handhelds. Couple other cool bits of geeky paraphernalia scattered in there too. Disregard the mess on the coffee table and such, this was taken in the middle of some renovations, turns out I don’t take many pictures of my entertainment center.
I owned Ouya. The games weren’t great but OK. Some were fun. At least console wasn’t too expensive. Then I tried to change my email for my Ouya account and learned that the company behind Ouya disappeared. I was frustrated and sold my Ouya :(
Every so often I get reminded of the Ouya. I still have mine from the Kickstarter somewhere. It was good in concept, and I even saw posts of it being sold in major retailers like Target, but it just fizzled out far too fast.
I am one of the few lucky ones to actually get an Ouya… It wasn’t great.

Nice portal gun hiding up on a shelf.

I came to say this. Some good games on there, but Julie Uhrman is the worst. and to think, she just failed upward.
