[QUOTE="Pete, post: 88040, member: 862"] i got one on retail launch june 25th it's really cool for certain things, it's also a let down for certain things. My biggest request for pinball arcade on ouya is please please please add a vertical rotate option. It's really easy for allot of us to rotate our tv's or projectors and I like the vertical views so much more, also the vertical view makes it easy to see the stuff on the table. pinball arcade isn't the best on ouya but i think vertical display would fix the muddy textures a little, on my android tablet with tegra 2 it always looks better vertical.
