Ouya, the diminutive android-powered console, will launch on June 4. The device will be available in the US, Canada and the UK for the asking price of $99. Meanwhile, Ouya's Kickstarter backers should begin receiving their units starting today.

We got a chance to try out an Ouya at GDC. Expect our impressions later today.

Only 99 dollars? I may have to give it a try if it has good games on it.

It's all stuff you can find on an App Store on like Android. Literally. This is worthless.

Really? Man that's lame. Why build a console for this when they were built for mobile devices anyway?

theoretically people will make more gamepad-friendly android games for this

To me it seems like it's just going to be used to say Angry Birds and stuff like that is a real game. Which it's not. It's also going to trick people into buying it because it seems like a cheap console, but it doesn't have the good games on it.

There's hardly any games that even require the use of controllers. A few days ago they announced that this would've been bundle with emulators, the only apps that are really controller friendly on the android.
