Nvidia Shield Now Supports GameStreaming 100 PC Games
The list of supported PC games is quickly growing.
The Nvidia Shield is one awesome little machine. Not only does it play Android hits like NOVA 3 and Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour with fluid frame rates, but it's capable of streaming PC games from a GeForce GTX Kepler- or Maxwell-based gaming PC. Plug in a mini-HDMI cable, and it becomes a highly portable console that supports other Bluetooth peripherals.
"When we created Nvidia Shield, we knew we were developing an evolving platform," reads the latest blog on GeForce.com. "The promise of Shield is to provide an open platform for gamers to enjoy the best PC and Android games on any network without compromising the quality of experience. When you combine this with the open nature of Android, you start to see our vision take shape."
According to the company, community contribution is a key piece of the Shield ecosystem, and that really becomes noticeable with features such as the Gamepad Mapper, with which the community has helped create the "largest library of controller-supported Android titles on the planet." Nvidia actually encourages users to experiment, hack and create with the console.
"Boasting 300 fully supported SHIELD games, 1000+ Gamepad Mapper profiles, 100 officially supported GameStream titles, and amazing new features in Update 4, SHIELD has evolved into the ultimate portable gaming platform."
Part of that 100 GameStream library are thirteen new additions to the library. They include:
- Titanfall
- South Park: The Stick of Truth
- Thief
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
- Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon
- Need for Speed: Rivals
- Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 Full Burst
- Orcs Must Die! 2
- LEGO The Lord of the Rings
- LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars
- LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes
- LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7
- LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
Now may be a good time to pick up a Nvidia Shield, as the price is currently set at $199 until the end of April; the regular retail price is $249. Retailers carrying this console include Best Buy, EVGA, GameStop, Micro Center, Newegg, Think Geek and several others listed here.
- This thing is useful only when you're at home.
- It streams games on a small screen(whats the point at home?) and have an option to connect to TV
- It costs $250
And the most dramatic:
- It DOESN'T support ALL games.
You can buy HDMI cable/wireless connect it to PC + some PS4/PS3/X360 gamepad and PLAY ALL games. So whats the point of this Nvidia's [removed] over here?

Seeing at most people reaction and Nvidia sales Nvidia has proven that people don't care for a special device just to stream video games only when they have proper solution to completely use everything that is on their PC through other means. Hence i have access to all my file on PC through inernet, though i won't actually use them for work without atleast notebook by my hand. And streaming games throughout the net from your own PC is a stupid idea, ever heard of flaming? Wanna try some? Sure it may not happen but leaving your PC working just to play games while you outside is stupid to begin with, whats the point of going outside then? I have a good place for my file server(not main workstation that consumes much more power) that even if something goes wrong it won't do anything bad to my living place, how many people in the world made precoutions?
Also your example is strange. Noone is going to play games while going to bathroom, if you someone like this help him because this is addiction and must be cured.
If Nvidia would
its worth noting, however, that i got mine for $120, i might be less happy if i had paid twice that...
This site should not in anyway use memes when reviewing important topics. This is a technical site, with a high degree of dignity/integrity/wisdom for helping & reviewing tech related stuff. This is not Reddit or 4chan. When making an article of relative importance such as an NVIDIA driver review, and considering this is Tom'sHardware, don't make meme references in the title. Be a bit more professional like what we expect from this site.
Honestly I thought I was having a stroke or something when I was trying to read the title until I realized it was the doge meme. Someone who doesn't know the meme wouldn't understand the title (which is the most important part). Especially considering the doge meme has been and still is a relatively obscure one.
Bah, I posted on the wrong article and can't delete it. Was intended for a nvidia driver review. Ignore the post I made. Downvoting it myself haha.
