Amazon Fire TV announced, can play games, uses a game controller

[Dok5555555]

Amazon just announced a streaming set top box that can play games (and stream tv content.) It uses a controller similar to the 360s in design. Several big name game companies are already supporting it. Hopefully Pinball Arcade can be released on it. Its only $99 (plus $40 for a controller.) What do you guys think?

Edit: Just saw Zen Pinball is a compatible game. Heres the full list (for now, more to come)

I'm thinking the same thing. Does TPA need software mods to work on the Fire TV?

interesting. is it just like a Ouya with more tv features? when VitaTV hits the US and EU that would be my best bet, there are some crazy games for it already and some really good ones comming. this might not be bad for a tv watcher/casual gamer. but for me, i need hardcore playstation exclusives, games with good graphics and less TV bc i dont watch tv really.

Well apparently support was added for Kindle Fire TV if anyone cares. There's a Kindle Fire TV Forum now too.
