115 M.O.J.O. Unboxing

[matt]

I hear unboxing videos are all the rage these days! I try my hand at making an unboxing video for the Mad Catz M.O.J.O. that will support Ouya Everywhere. If you are curious about the size of it or want to watch me forget where I put the console, now's your chance!

(As a side note, it is pretty embarrassing when you watch the video because it's obvious where I placed the console, but I am completely oblivious. hahaha)

Haha, thanks for sharing!

I strongly suspect that in most of those videos they cheat and open everything up ahead of time just to deal with all the fiddly junk like hidden tape and twist ties, then shove it all back in. As far as unboxing videos themselves, there must just be something about the collective anticipation of opening up a brand new shiny thing? I think you nailed the general idea, that's pretty much what they are, someone opens up something while talking about it

That is small and nicely flat, but I wonder what exactly it can actually do in terms of performance, especially in comparisons.

I wrote a bit about it in our last kickstarter update. We will run at 1080p instead of 720p. I don't think we can get 1080p60, which is unfortunate, but I haven't figured out if I want to try and lock to 30.

I guess the summary is that it is a nice leap forward, but it wasn't quite as big as I was hoping. Based on some benchmarks, it was supposed to be 4 times as powerful, but perhaps that isn't the case for games that are pretty much fill bound like us. I've heard that the Shield even though it has similar hardware has better performance.

Nvidia gave out Shield Development Kits to those who signed up for their tutorial session, so I have one of those. Maybe I'll do another unboxing. haha I hope Ouya Everywhere supports the shield. That would be cool just because it's a handheld. Playing Neverending Nightmares on the go would be neat.
