Ouya has announced that its Android-powered home console will be shipping to backers beginning 28 March 2013.

If you were not part of the original pledgers, you’ll have to wait until June, when the console hits Amazon and other US retailers.

“That’s right. Parts are in the factory and assembly lines are buzzing. We’ll gradually ramp up production as we make sure things are working. (Our full launch is still set for June, which is when OUYA will be available in stores),” confirmed the Kickstarter page.

The Ouya campaign was one of the success stories of Kickstarter in 2012, as Ouya originally asked for $950,000, but managed to accumulate over $8.5 million thanks to the help of backers.
