Apparently we have a lot to look forward to. Kim Swift of Portal and Quantum Conundrum has revealed she's working on a brand new exclusive game, stating “We truly feel that this platform will give us the freedom to fully realize the funky, unique game we have in mind." Those that worry that the OUYA will be home to strictly casual games can rest easy, as Kim reveals "Though the title will definitely appeal to core gamers in terms of skill and difficulty, it really has a completely unexpected, imaginative slant that’s totally at home on this console."
