OUYA partners with Square Enix, names Final Fantasy III as launch title

[![OUYA partners with Square Enix, names Final Fantasy III as launch title][1] ][2]

We've been saying for a while now that a large deal of the success of Kickstarter blockbuster [OUYA][3] will hinge on the console's game selection. News just got a fair bit brighter on that front -- particularly for RPG fans. The company announced via its Kickstarter page (as per usual) that it has partnered with [Square Enix][4]. The first fruits of that burgeoning relationship will be _Final Fantasy III_, making the game a launch title for the console. The company is promising that the title will be "updated to exploit OUYA's high-definition resolution in glorious graphic detail" -- and, as is OUYA's M.O., players will be getting a free demo of the game. Oh, and for those keeping track, the product's Kickstarter page is currently at a mind-boggling $5,820,345 with eight days to go.
