Ouya, the miniature Android gaming console that began as a Kickstarter sensation but largely fizzled with consumers, is getting a boost from Alibaba. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Ouya box we're familiar with will be making the trip to China.

The Journal says both companies have discussed integrating Ouya's existing software and game lineup — which hit the 1, milestone in November — to Alibaba's own set-top boxes. A deal to make that happen has yet to be finalized, according to the report, but Alibaba only made its big investment sometime last month. The idea makes sense for both companies.

Amazon's Fire TV offers decent enough Android gaming, and it also happens to be a pretty great set-top box for watching movies, too. But the company still sees big opportunity overseas — and has no problem letting other companies handle the hardware side. Tapping it also lets you defend attacks, go all Super Saiyan on enemies, or moonwalk your way to victory.

The free version lets you play quite a few battles and enables you to save your progress. One of the most accessible entries is Heroes of Loot. This action-heavy game features combat that will feel right at home to fans of the overhead The Legend of Zelda games as the gameplay consists of you going around the levels and attacking enemies. There are four classes available, with the warrior offering up more of Zelda-like experience with a sword, but the wizard is really the best overall character and has a ton of long-range attack options thanks to power-ups.

The free game gives you access to three full stages, which is enough to beat dozens of enemies, go to at least one shop, and tell if the you like how the game plays. The controls are smooth, the graphics use pixel art nicely, and the soundtrack is fun to listen to as well.

These are just three examples of excellent games that can only be found on the Ouya and are conducive to sinking a lot of time into during a single play session.
