I may pick one up later this week if I can find one just to check out the sports lineup. I don't own a smartphone, so all these Android games are new to me.

I heard it has emulators, so that would be worth the 99 bucks right there. Relive some childhood memories with an actual controller!

Yes, I was disappointed to see only three sports games in the initial launch lineup. And of those three, I don't think I'd want to buy any of them. I'm hoping the open nature of the platform encourages more sports titles to show up in the future.
Looking at the OUYA's game list, there are currently emulators for NEO GEO, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Color, NES, SNES, Genesis and N64.
