[OUYA](http://www.engadget.com/tag/OUYA/) CEO Julie Uhrman took to the stage at DICE 2013 today to reveal two new partnerships, one with _Monkey Island_ creator Tim Schafer's studio Double Fine Productions, and the other with _Words with Friends_ creator Paul Bettner. So far, that means both Double Fine's _Reds_ and _The Cave_ are headed to OUYA, while Bettner's Verse studio only announced it was working on two unannounced titles. "I believe we're about to see another disruption even bigger than this last," Bettner said, referring to his previous work in the mobile game space. "Gamers want the App Store in their living room. OUYA will be the first to deliver it," he said.

The OUYA arrives in March for [Kickstarter backers](http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/09/ouyas-kickstarter-funding-is-complete-over-8-5-million-raised/), and in April for the rest of the world (even later [for retail](http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/05/ouya-retail-best-buy-amazon-gamestop-june-99/)). It's unclear exactly when Schafer and Bettner's games will arrive on the Android-powered console, but we'd expect _The Cave_ to be there sooner than later (it's already available on other platforms).
