Mad Catz has announced M.O.J.O. which is its Android-based micro-console, coming in at a price of $249.99. It is powered by NVIDIA's more-than-capable Tegra 4, which is the same SoC found in NVIDIA's Shield handheld console. Priced at $249, the M.O.J.O. is a micro-console with NVIDIA's Tegra 4 SoC, 2GB RAM, 16GB flash storage, and a microSD memory card slot. Included with the device is C.T.R.L.R., Mad Catz' own game controller.

M.O.J.O.'s specs aren't too bad at all, with the NVIDIA Tegra 4 being the heart and soul, but we also find 2GB of RAM, 16GB of on-board flash storage with a microSD card for expandable storage, all the way up to 128GB I might a dd. We will hear more information on M.O.J.O. closer to its December 10 release date. More information about the device will be revealed in the coming weeks. It's assumed that this device will support the streaming of PC games to your TV, like NVIDIA's Shield console.

From what I have heard, you have to pay for the controller seperately. I really hope it was some stupid rumour.

I am trying to figure out why it would be better to buy this over a WiiU which is not much different in price from this unit and is designed from the ground up with gaming in mind. I know Android games have come a long way over the years but based on where the app based ecosystem is right now these kinds of products just don't catch my eye. I know for some people the low price of the apps is a motivation but I also think in many cases the lack of depth shows that you are getting what you pay for. On the other side of the spectrum I do think $60 U.S. and up is way too much for a videogame. I would have no issue paying $30, maybe $40 if it's a real awesome title

Many new Smartphones can already do the same thing.

Man with Nintendo cutting the Wii-U's price by 50 bucks and with the PS4 and Xbox-one coming out it is not worth buying. Unless there are hardcore android based gamers out there who own a ton of games. I mean look at the Ouya that thing from what I have read and watched videos on people used this for console emulation.
