The team behind the Ouya console announces that it is launching a new version of the device, with 16 GB of RAM and with a new black matte finish, available to all interested gamers via the official site and Amazon for the price of 129.99 dollars or Euro.

The new hardware is offered after a similar device sold out very quickly during the holiday and the new Ouya will also offer better connectivity for the included Wi-Fi, a new version of the controller and the latest firmware, which improves overall performance.

The 8 GB Ouya is still available for 99.99 dollars or Euro.

The device is built around an operating system based on Android and aims to offer strong competition for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4, with a focus on independent games and innovative experiences.
