You can use an Xperia Play, which has slide out game controls, although ICS + Bluetooth controller would be a better route. Almost no games will ever be written

You can use an Xperia Play, which has slide out game controls, although ICS + Bluetooth controller would be a better route. Almost no games will ever be written for Ouya alone anyway, they'll just be written for Android in general and if Ouya is lucky have a few small tweaks for them like hiding the on screen controls. I've seen games ported from gaming handhelds to Android and the porting company didn't even add support for the D-Pad buttons on some Android devices. Just tossed in on screen touch controls and that is it. Game developers just won't, in general, put much time at all in customizing the game for a specific Android device.
- eropple 14y agoWithout further information about their controller (and the rest of their environment, really), I'm hesitant to just jump right in. And, sure, most developers won't put time in to customize a game for a specific platform, but I'd personally be ashamed if I didn't make it good on every platform I say I support. If it isn't done well, I'd rather not do it, know what I mean? I'm not even sold about supporting the Nexus 7 I've got, because I don't know yet whether I can make it awesome enough. Trash-flood games ruined XBLIG and make finding worthwhile games on the iOS App Store and Google Play way harder than it should be. I won't contribute to the pile of crap.
