This whole Ouya microconsole thing is starting to shape up into a very impressive platform.
In addition to announcing a March 28 ship date for Kickstarter backers, Ouya revealed today that Portal and Quantum Conundrum designer Kim Swift’s next game is exclusive to the company’s $99.99 Android gaming system.
“We truly feel that this platform will give us the freedom to fully realize the funky, unique game we have in mind,” Swift said in a statement. “Though the title will definitely appeal to core gamers in terms of skill and difficulty, it really has a completely unexpected, imaginative slant that’s totally at home on this console. Expect an official announcement soon!”
