Great news for all three people who still own and actually play an Ouya.

Ouya was the best scam ever kickstarted.

I figured any people here would just be trolling the Ouya.

I don't need Crunchyroll on it, but Ouya is amazing for Towerfall alone.

Really? Ouya before a Wii U version? This is madness.

Kickstarter isn't a store.

They brought the product to market, which is what Kickstarter is really about, and is something you certainly can't say about some Kickstarter projects.

The Ouya version is just a tweaked version of their Android app. Since they only have to worry about a single hardware configuration with it, and it has a small user base, it makes a great test bed for a new version of the Android app (which is coming, and is slated to support HD, as the OUYA app does).

A Wii U app couldn't be done by their Android app programmer, and would require the blessing of Nintendo, which I've seen no evidence of thus far.

Are there any streaming apps on the Nintendo that aren't from the "big 3" (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus)?

I remember reading a while back that IGN tried to get an app developed for the Wii or Wii U, but ran into some kind of roadblock. They were pretty vague about why it didn't go through, but I'd guess you have to be big news like Netflix for Nintendo to care.
