As a result, people who didn’t buy an OUYA can still gain access to its games, and the game developers have one more piece of hardware they can make money on.
#THE AMAZING FROG OUYA UPDATE#
Since Tegra 4 is able to run anything the Tegra 3 can, it made emulating the OUYA via the OUYA Everywhere program and MOJO firmware update possible. The OUYA’s Tegra 3 chipset was impressive two years ago when the device was announced, but the MOJO’s Tegra 4 instantly put it to shame hardware-wise, which wound up being a longer-term benefit. Device weight is a bit of a problem though, and hopefully the OUYA 2 features a weightier bottom because the current one gets tugged around quite easily if you don’t have a really long HDMI cable with plenty of slack in it.
#THE AMAZING FROG OUYA TV#
Microconsoles have the benefit of small form factors, and in the case of the original OUYA, you can put this thing in a small nook in your entertainment center and still hook it up to your TV without an issue. Sure, you can do it, but you still need a fairly large area to set the device down on. Beyond pricing, device size is an issue there as it’s a bit like hooking up a laptop to your TV. Both the OUYA and Shield Tablet controllers have one, and it enables for a much more user-friendly experience, even if the OUYA’s trackpad isn’t perfect. There’s no guarantee a game will run well on the MOJO even if it has controller support, and reviews from tech heads like Lon Seidman have cited interface issues due to the CTRL-Rs lack of a trackpad.

That price point is what turned me off to the MOJO, which offered up more power, but didn’t promise anything beyond Google Play Store support, which you can already get on the OUYA with a bit work. That means you’d need to spend $260 or $360 to get a console-esque setup and hook it up to your TV with HDMI. The tablet itself is $200 at a minimum and $300 at a maximum, while the controller is $60. One might question the need for a microconsole using as price is a concern there. On the status of the next Ouya, “when we’re ready” response was stated by Jared Yeager before going on to refer to it as the “Ouya 2.” The K1 chipset was first announced about six months ago, and the upcoming NVIDIA Shield tablet will use it. After the group jokes around a bit, they state that they can’t speak about a chipset “for the future” and directly reference the OUYA 2. At the 26:44 mark, a question comes in about the OUYA ever having the Tegra K1 chipset. You just stumble around, hit the dust, earn points for your clumsiness and rofl.This past week’s OUYA Dev Support Office Hours show didn’t just feature Super Pixalo‘s Phil Royer, it also featured Bawb Mills answering viewer mail. It has no specific goal, no story, no villain or hero. In fact, Amazing Frog isn’t even a real game. There are tons of things to try, but you don’t have to. Just shoot hoops if you feel bored or jump into explosives or giant fans and see where the journey will take you. In multiplayer split-screen you also may shoot at your opponent with various weapons or simply throw things at each other. The more spectacular the stunt the more points you can earn.

You run around, throw yourself into cars, jump off of buildings or fire yourself out of cannons. Since then all of my children are laughing their heads off playing the frog, and they’re playing it a lot!Īmazing Frog is a phenomenon. ‘I haven’t checked out yet’, I answered and scrolled on. Recently I looked through the OUYA store and one of my sons pointed at the funny frog thumb and wanted to know, what game this is. Just screwin' around with death-defying, farting frogs
