Tell Ouya you want Melee

[MattDotZeb]

Ouya is looking to be an open console running on the android platform. The've already received close to $3million in Kickstarter funds (3x more than they were looking for!) and the future looks bright for them. It's great for indie devs, but also great for regular gamers.

They're now asking that you let them "know what games you'd like to see on OUYA! Popular titles, specific genres - you name it. This is your console - let's beef up the catalog together!"

I've already put my vote in for Melee (and various other titles, but who cares about those right?). Your turn!

Not to be a party pooper, but I don't see this happening.

Nintendo is pretty lenient with fair-use of their intellectual property, but they have never agreed to allow one of their flagship titles on a non-nintendo system and melee is definitely a flagship title.

We can still try. There's no advantage in not voting, unless you think 10 seconds is too long of a time to waste.

^this. It's not just about being a flagship title, I don't think they've allowed any titles at all with Nintendo characters on a non-Nintendo game console.

But I'll vote anyways just so people'll know there's interest.

Hey, if you never try it'll never happen! Thank you for voting. If we make this happen it'd be amazing.

 

[Divinokage]

They are already going at x4 times more.. OMG, why are people so hype? lol. Though I voted. =)

 

[DerfMidWest]

it probably won't happen, but it would be pree slick if it did.
I voted ^^

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I voted they put Melee on there, but I doubt it'll happen.

I also voted for Project M, but I doubt that'll happen either.

NiGHTS is the only game I voted for that has a realistic chance of appearing on Ouya.

 

[Divinokage]

Just do it first, then say whatever the **** you want after. lol. Simple!

 

[Bones0]

We've already partnered with top video game developers who believe we can revolutionize console gaming.

Sounds like Nintendo to me. lol

CDI? We don't want to remember the CDI though. I still think it's useless though, the same as people asking to put Mario and pokemon games on the iPhone.

Edit: I'm watching the video and the lady said "It's open to hackers who want to open the box and make it their own."
Wait for the retraction when they find a way to get bootleg games

Massive is right. This will absolutely never happen. You say "we can try anyway" but there's honestly no point. Not only are you asking Nintendo to bring a top-sales game of theirs to a competing console (imagine starting a petition to bring Melee to PS3), but you're asking Nintendo to rewrite the entire game from the ground up, something that takes a whole development team many months of effort.

Hoping some hackers will port Melee to OUYA? Don't count on it. Emulating Gamecube requires a very powerful system and complex, low-level code. OUYA provides neither of these (it's slow and it runs on Java). We will definitely see NES, SNES, and MAYBE N64 at best.

Can you be ANY more of a liar, why even make a post if you have absolutly no clue what you are talking about.

Did you expect everyone on smashboards to be a ******. Here is the quad-core processor ouya is going with.

Do those games look like the ones we played on super nintendo?

Anyway, ouya isn't actually going to do software development at the moment. So anyone can actually put gamecube games onto android, it's very possible because both are open source. It just requires people who know what they are doing, and it isn't rocket science like the above poster said.

The whole idea is that they want to sell a console that doesn't cost $499 in stores and $50 per game. They want people to buy it for $99 and shipping $20, then go home and have everyone freely create and upload games.

How many more years were people going to keep buying disgustingly inflated electronics from nintendo, sony and microsoft? I know I stopped at the gamecube...

I'm not sure you understand how emulators work. An emulator requires many times the CPU power of the original system to run at full speed. Furthermore, the games demonstrated in that demo are designed specifically for Tegra 3, taking full advantage of the features of the CPU. The tools used to draw those graphics on the screen are designed to talk directly to the Tegra. When emulating a system such as the Gamecube, you have no such "shortcuts" and you're forced to perform all the processing however the Gamecube wants to do it. That means you need a "middleman" to painfully translate all the instructions, which is the emulator. If you wanted to build a Tegra-optimized Melee, you would have to rewrite the entire game in Java and compile it using the tools provided by OUYA and nVidia. If, theoretically, one were to do this, the game would run flawlessly.

There's already an N64 emulator on Android that runs smoothly on mediocre-decent cell phones so it's already there. I'd put imperfect PS2 emulation as the cap of the OUYA, if Java doesn't turn out to be a limitation once it's open to more serious developers.

 

[S l o X]

Wasn't SSBM the most sold game on the GC?

I mean that's pretty good. ^^

 

[Zodiac]

Or we could just assemble a team of developers who love melee and develop a ssbm clone for the ouya with balance's and whatnot

Tell me when this happens and I'll help in every way possible.

I think the world needs a Smash game with its own unique characters and themes.

 

[KrIsP!]

or...now listen to me guys...we can play it on the gamecube.

Also I'd rather use a GCN controller compared to the OUYA one.

why even make a post if you have absolutly no clue what you are talking about.

I would think (hope) IE knows what he's talking about considering he's been working on emulating melee for us all.

Soon ...

And yes your help may be usefull

More on that later, but I as a Game Producer to be, is getting Hyped by the OUYA, and the obvious need to Clone Smash.
And it's for real

(Almost a year i did'nt post on SmashBoards >___<)

 

[SpiderMad]

THIS, that controller on their kickstarter page looks bad. You can play Melee on Dolphin Emulator with a PS2 Controller to see for yourself, it's a nuisance.
