Ouya Gets More Partnerships, Four Controller Support

By Cartera

With less than 12 hours left in the Ouya's miraculous round of Kickstarter funding, Ouya has still not been resting on its laurels. Just yesterday they had barely crossed the 7 million dollar range, but with a combination of new announcements and the familiar end-of-funding push, the Ouya has made another million dollars, catapulting it to almost $8 million.

Today's announcement sweetens the pot even more for backers. Namco Bandai is in talks to bring Pac-Man, Galaga, Ridge Racer, and Tekken to the Ouya. While it's unclear if these games will be ports of their mobile and tablet counterparts or something specifically built for the Ouya, we're excited to see just what the Ouya is capable of.

 

That's not the only news brought about by Ouya's update. The Ouya will also support Plex, another media solution in the vein of XBMC. More choices is always better right?

 

Finally, and most importantly, the Ouya will now be getting four controller support. Of course, you'll have to buy those controllers separately - the Ouya's $225 option only offers two controllers and other packages only come with one (though you can add an additional controller for $30). Fortunately, Ouya has made it possible to upgrade your pledge for four controllers - an additional $90 will net you three more controllers.
