MAD CATZ AND OUYA ANNOUNCE CONTENT AGREEMENT TO BRING OUYA TO THE M.O.J.O. MICRO-CONSOLE FOR ANDROID
Mad Catz Interactive Inc. and Ouya
have entered a content agreement to bring Ouya to the Mad
Catz MOJO microconsole for Android. In addition, the price of MOJO will
be reduced to an MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price) of $199.99 in the United States, with similar price
adjustments taking place in all major territories.
Announced earlier this week, the Ouya Everywhere initiative aims to
bring Ouya to a wide variety of devices, with the MOJO microconsole being the first. Ouya on MOJO is expected to debut
later this spring, with all existing and coming Ouya content available
on the Mad Catz microconsole.
"Up until now, the game console experience has been locked inside a
box," said Julie Uhrman, chief executive officer and founder of Ouya. "Together with the
hardware veterans at Mad Catz, we end that. Today's announcement
signifies the inception of a truly open platform where independent
developers can bring their creations to the platforms where gamers
actually play: everywhere."
"With more than 680 games and 33,000 developers signed up, Ouya features
an impressive catalogue of content from AAA developers and independent
publishers, all of which are designed to replicate the core gaming
experience, taking advantage of the TV and controller," said Darren
Richardson, the president and chief executive officer of Mad Catz
Interactive. "This agreement with Ouya encapsulates our vision of
an open software platform powered by MOJO's
high-performance hardware and supported by the entire ecosystem of GameSmart
gaming accessories. We believe today's announcements will widen the
appeal of MOJO, introducing it to a greater number of
passionate gamers."
