Mad Catz Confirms Project M.O.J.O. Android Console For E3

Austin-Powers-Mojo

We just told about that latest developments concerning the GamePop console, which will bring Android titles to your television this winter. But it appears there’s another Android-powered console on the way that’s looking to secure a spot in your living room.

It’s called “Project M.O.J.O.,” and it’s being developed by Mad Catz, the gaming accessory giant that produces a whole host of peripherals for just about every console there is.

We don’t know too much about Project M.O.J.O. yet — other than it’s a pain to type — but Mad Catz is promising a reveal all at E3 next week. Mad Catz CEO Darren Richardson confirmed the device during the company’s recent earnings call.

Richardson described Project M.O.J.O. as a “micro console” — a supercharged smartphone that will use your HDTV as its display. It will be all about hardware, he said, and it will be open platform.

Mad Catz recently announced a new partnership with NVIDIA which will see it produce GameSmart peripherals for devices powered by the new Tegra 4 processor. It’s unclear whether this partnership will have anything to do with Project M.O.J.O., but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a Tegra 4 chip inside the device.

We’ll bring you more next week when Mad Catz tells us more about Project M.O.J.O. at E3.
