Powerful Tegra 4-based Nuvola Enables Access to
Hundreds of Controller-Optimized Games for TV Play
NanoTech Entertainment (OTCPINK:NTEK), announced today it has
signed a worldwide software agreement with OUYA, Inc. that enables
NanoTech’s award-winning Nuvola NP-1™ 4K Ultra HD streaming media
player to have OUYA embedded and featured in the Nuvola User
Experience. As part of the new OUYA Everywhere initiative, which
aims to bring OUYA content to new platforms, the agreement allows
NP-1 users to access hundreds of games, with more added each
month.
Powered by NVIDIA® Tegra® 4 and compatible with the OUYA
Wireless Controller, the Nuvola NP-1 delivers OUYA’s roster of
titles into the living room, giving users a gaming experience
optimized for large-screen TVs, and further expanding exposure to
independent developers via the open platform. With the Tegra’s 72
powerful GPU cores and advanced rendering capabilities, games come
to life just as the creators intended.
“During our first year, we’ve worked with emerging and
established game developers to bring OUYA users a huge offering of
original content,” said Julie Uhrman, CEO and founder of OUYA. “Our
OUYA Everywhere initiative is about expanding beyond our hardware
to bring these titles into as many living rooms as possible.
NanoTech is exactly the kind of partner we like working with, and
we can’t wait to introduce our games to NP-1 users.”
In addition to being able to play OUYA-exclusive games, the
Nuvola NP-1 can decode 4K Ultra HD content as well as HD, SD and 3D
movies. It can also stream content from a variety of sources,
including the bundled UltraFlix™ UHD channel, featuring over 100
hours of UHD content.
“OUYA is well-known as an innovator in the TV gaming space,”
said NanoTech’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing,
Aaron Taylor. “We’re excited about the NP-1 opening up a whole new
world of gaming for our customers. One of the key features we know
our NP-1 users will enjoy is that they can try out hundreds of
titles for free before deciding if they want to buy them.”
Both the OUYA platform and the Nuvola NP-1 are based on Google’s
Android operating system, the most advanced device OS available.
Both companies are focused on content designed for television
playback. NP-1 users who have an OUYA Game Controller will be able
to connect up to four controllers to enjoy multiplayer games.
Availability & Pricing
OUYA will be embedded in the Nuvola NP-1 beginning this quarter.
NanoTech’s multifunction Nuvola NP-1 4K Ultra HD streaming
media player, the world’s first streaming media player that
supports 4K Ultra HD content, is currently in production and will
be available for new customers this quarter at $299. Measuring just
