Love my Nvidia Shield. Worth every penny.

I just bought me a Shield here in sunny England. It is, without doubt, the finest handheld games powerhouse in existence.

I think that porting PC games would be essential in this platform. For me it has a lot of potential. I think that some PC games don't have to be streamed onto device to play them (PS Vita is getting Borderlands 2 with way worse specification). Of course I don't expect you to read that but by porting PC games and making them exclusive to Shield that'd make a huge difference. Also promoting Shield for indie developers so they can make games for it. Just Borderlands 2 or PC Minecraft version (i know there's Pocket Edition but it's not the same) would be a system sellers. There are many great games that can be played on Shield with ease but thing is just to talk to their publishers and port them. I know it's easy for me to just say about it because I have no idea about programming so far. Anyway I wish the whole Nvidia crew the best of luck. I thought I could share my thoughts with you and make Shield 2 a thing that will be wanted and make it true device made for gaming community.

Have been holding off to see what Nvidia had up it's sleeve for Shield. I do think I can hold off anymore, streaming from anywhere just sold me.

Мои выводы: 1. Или если у вас есть мощный ПК дома, то вы просто берете покупаете мобильный интернет за косарь и получиться где-то 7-10 мегабит. (идеально) и играете там где-то на улице ну 4.5 часа. Только вот интересно, что в нем заключен мощный процессор-видеокарта Тегра, который как бы в это время отдыхает, но все равно жрет не мало энергии... И мы платим за это 200 долларов. Нет ну по сути 200 долларов не что, хотя если учесть что для стриминга из ПК нам нужна хорошая видюха где-то за опять же за 200-300 долларов, то можно задуматься.... И платить еще ежемесячно за интернет косарь.... Это был первый способ игры, который вообще мог бы пойти на любом устройстве, даже ноутбуке за 200 долларов.. (А вы представте, что если оптимизировать и запихнуть в маленькую консоль то можно там цену сделать 100 долларов и 8 часовую работу).
2. Второй способ игры - используя мощь консоли, и тегра. Что по идеи и должно было в основе идеи.. Но андроид делает свое. Нахрена они выбрали андроид а? Нельзя было выбрать какой-то легкий линукс, да пусть даже один их видов убунты и написать под него свою граф. оболочку. Да, заняло бы больше времени, но представьте, что было бы. Шли бы 300 игр в стиме. Из которых ну 50 вполне себе качественные. (Одни только от валв игры). 
В общем какая-то странная ситуация... Не знаю о чем они думали, когда создавали эти консоль.

Lol, genius but it requires a lot of electricity

If the shield actually RAN the games rather than stream them I would buy it as a no brainer! If it ran steam OS too that would be even better! It would bump up the price because of the need of better hardware, but it would definitely be worth it!

[mashlegend]

this makes playstation now look like a joke.... lol

[quacktac]

Fair play Nvidia, NOW you've made me want a Shield. But I'm buying an FFB wheel first ok?

[SDCookiemann]

so uhm.. When does the EU version come?

[knuckledraggers]

can i use any game(that has controller support) with this device or only steam and geforce experience picked up games? Im only buying if i can choose the games

[theorysf]

Sweet! With this I don't have to buy a PS4 or Xbox one!

[MelonHead]

They need to do what onlive does let's u play games like saints row 4 on your phone via cloud if nvida does that I will defiantly get a sheild

[PilotInsanity]

I still don't know how to get game stream working while away from home and shield used to work fine on my TV before when I first received it now it doesn't work on my older TV at all, . Not necessarily "better experience than ever before" IMO. Hopefully I can't figure it out or you guys can patch the oversight, but haven't found the time to troubleshoot yet and I haven't video on how to setup the GameStreaming of games from my personal pc while away from home yet.

[EaterOfWorlds]

I have a pretty low home upload speed 2-5 mbps on speedtest.net. Will I be able to do remote streaming, and in home streaming?

[tecnockicken]

how can you stream games when you're not on you're own wifi?

[SuperFranzs]

does the streaming funktion work on linux?
