Nvidia Shield Review!

My review / gameplay of the Nvidia Shield! Is it for you?

The Nvidia Shield is an interesting handheld gaming device. It runs Android 4.2 with the super fast Tegra 4 SoC inside along with physical controls and a built-in 5 inch screen. It plays PC games via streaming if you have an Nvidia GTX 650 or better graphics card, Android games like Riptide GP 2 and emulators for the PlayStation, N64, Super Nintendo and many more.

Wtf why does Austin seem like he was forced to make this, he didn't have his happy attitude

[KlingonCaptain]

I imagine that this is what a handheld Xbox would look like...

[austinevans]

Love it! I'd appreciate a bit more vertical resolution for video editing but for most everything else especially gaming it's awesome!

[elmfer]

i think the nvidia sheild is more powerful than my old laptop

[JambopaulGamerInPJs]

So it can take abuse eh? Good to know that if I hurl verbal insults at it that it'll still work.

My review of the Nvidia Shield is live! Between streaming PC games, emulators and more this is my new favorite gaming handheld!

I think a detachable screen like the ultrabook with all of the hardware in the screen portion of the device would be a better allocation of the hardware and weight

hahahahahaha he looks so different now

"The Shield is well built, and feels like it could take some abuse"
That's probably the best unintentional pun ever.

sadly I got two GTX 680's and no Upgrade plan.. I got the Shield and they have greatly improved the streaming capabilities and the Tegra Library. the shield is pretty much worth it on my end.

seeing this again seems the most idea on 2012-2014 is ahead of the time.

[MCRedzonetrooper]

In my opinion Nvidia should have made the screen detachable so it's isn't such a pain to use in terms of portability.

[rafifthesecond]

Hmmmm
Might consider one...
but too damn expensive

[demonslayerXP]

I would definitely go for this over the PS Vita or 3DS any day! I mean, you can have ROMs on this thing! That's fucking awesome! What would make it even greater would be if the screen detatched so you could then use it as a phone!

[SteamPunkGamer]

That monitor behind him, though... damn...

[NRGninjaC]

this is why i always go to your channel to see all these new tech, thanks Austin :)

[OrigamiYodaClub]

I am SO glad Austin isn't like other reviewers. Once they find a small problem, they call the console crap! Nice video, Austin, keep up the good work!

[memuskhan]

A console that mostly fits in my pocket?!? Shut up and take my money!

[Silverdew]

its about 200$ now seems like a great deal to me!

[PerfectBlade]

This is an amazing device, the controller is heavily supported by a lot of core android games and it is very comfortable and very powerful. It is worth the price if you plan on using it all the time
