Lately, my 5-year-old son has been taking an interest in playing some video
games, and started to enjoy some games. He's more interested in platformer
games. He seems to like the classics like Sonic and Mario.

We have an Amazon FireTV stick, and there are a few games we can play with the
Amazon remote, but the one that be my son and I are interested in playing
require an Amazon game controller, and it doesn't look like they'll be making
more anytime soon. :(

I thought about getting an Ouya, but it seems like they are no longer in
production. It looks like I can buy one from Amazon for about US$100 or US$150,
but I'm not sure if they will have Sonic or Mario.

I have heard of a TV stick with Android on them, and I hope it will have Google
Play on it. I suppose I would need to get a wireless controller for it, though.

What are your thoughts and recomnendations? Something that I can easily to
download (or purchase a license at most) games to it, but works with actual
hardware controller (the virtual controls on a touch screen are driving me up
the wall!) I would like to prefer an Android with Google Play access so that I
can get Magic DOSBox on it to play some DOS games, and to play some of the more
retro games that had been ported to Android.
