The microconsole lives as OnLive and Mad Catz team up on Mojo

OnLive and Mad Catz are teaming up to launch cloud-streamed games on the TV via the Mojo microconsole. Their goal is to bring triple-A games to bigger screens using OnLive’s Android app and cloud-streaming technology.

With OnLive, gamers can play a big PC or console game even if the device, in this case the Mojo microconsole, doesn’t have enough horsepower to run it natively. The microconsole connects to OnLive’s web-connected cloud servers, where the game code runs. The server then streams video back to the device, which displays the images on screens such as monitors or TVs.
