OUYA Anniversary Game Jam 2020

[YoshiM]

Still rooting for the would-be dead underdog game system OUYA, a group of enthusiasts and developers have resurrected the OUYA servers and are continuing to support the Cube that Could! This year marks the system's 7th Anniversary. Click the links below to kick out the Jam and get your OUYA back to life.

For OUYA owners that used it in the past, by following the instructions on the second link above, you will see the Discovery store once again with new games. I just brought my OUYA up from the basement last night for some Bombsquad but I didn't check to see if the 2020 Game Jam titles were available. I did see the 2019 Game Jam group there, however.

I jumped in on the Kickstarter on the OUYA, loving the idea behind it and I still do.

Nice to hear. Unfortunately my OUYA was never really alive in the first place. I downloaded a lot of free games, had MAME on there and eventually Netflix, but sold it CIB several years back.

I might just have to power up the ol' Ouya. Too bad I have no idea where the controller is.

I've seen a few PC and Switch controllers that are a direct rip-off of the Ouya's controller, the exact form factor (but usually not with the touchpad face). I wonder if the company licensed the designs out or were they outright pirated?

The game jam titles are showing up in Discovery. About 2 so far.

That's cool. I still have mine but only ever used it for MAME and a few free games. I like free stuff but typically only buy digital when something is digital only and it's something I really really want. Sonic 4 was a good example.
