Ouya Users Have Weighed In On The Twenty Games They Want The Most
As the Ouya continues its staggering Kickstarter success with over $4 million in pledges as of this writing, it's also asking for what games players want to see. They've come up with a list of twenty… and most of it is surprisingly sensible.
Here are a few games already on Android and thus presumably just a step away from the Ouya:
Grand Theft Auto III – Rockstar has already ported one entry of the franchise to Android and others may follow. Max Payne is also available.
Final Fantasy –
The third installment has been ported to Android and it's likely other classic installments are in the works.
Minecraft – Well…sorta. Android has Minecraft: Pocket Edition but a full-fledged version will depend on the Ouya's install base according to Mojang.
Dungeon Defenders – Again, the development team already has a version on Android available.
Other titles are less likely or may depend on the publisher's larger Android support. It seems unlikely older versions of Call of Duty will be brought to Android in general but we do know that
Android support is on Activision's radar.
Other franchises like Timesplitters would seem to be
ideally suited to the console's free-to-play nature.
Still others like Bastion and Torchlight seem good candidates due to their indie status, especially since the Ouya team will have no shortage of funds to support Android porting.
There are a few titles that sadly just will not happen. The entire Battletoads franchise seems to be off Rare's radar, for example. But it seems the games that the community wants are largely already headed towards the console.
The bigger question is Ouya exclusives. They've sold 400 kits to developers over Kickstarter and have committed some funding to exclusive game development. We'll be curious to see what arrives for the Ouya as the console gets closer to launch.
