NanoTech Recently Added 100s of Games to 4K Streaming Media Player. The company announced last month  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.

“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.”

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.

“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.

The availability and pricing for 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 3½ in by 4 in, the Nuvola NP-1 features built-in Ethernet, state-of–the-art 2x2 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth communications to enable reliable connectivity with remotes, game controllers and many other devices --wirelessly or by connecting to the USB port.
