NVIDIA announces Project Shield

"I wanna fly high!"

Normally I don't cover Android devices but this one is a creditable entry I to the portable gaming market. NVIDIA tonight announced Project Shield, an Android device that is housed inside a Game Controler shell with buttons (like a TV game console) with an attached laptop like flip screen 5" Retina multitouch display. The device runs the brand new Tegra 4 processor with 72 core GPU and 4 Core CPU for console level gaming, as well as stock Android Jelly Bean with Google Play and TegraZone. The device also has HDMI output that can drive a 4KTV, SD card slot and Micro USB. The device can also wireless communicate with compatible TVs and also be able to play games on a PC running a recent GTX graphics card, with Steam Intergration too.

We can confirm tonight that Sonic 4 Episode 2 will run with full compatibility on NVIDIA Shield.

Who is Pooka?

Well, since this is an Android device, it means it could be used as a phone as well, right? Well, it looks too bulky and large to fit into my pocket if that's the case.

But I'm not interested in the whole PC gaming part, as I'm not going to play PC games on a handheld for any reason. I'm interested in the Android side, and I have a feeling that this weird device can play the devious Episode II flawlessly.

The problem is, I can't buy it :(

I'm told no cellular functions at this time, they may consider that down the road later on.

I expected it somehow. The bulky shape and size will make it feel a little unpleasant to use as a cellphone, although they may make an accessory for it to enable cellular functions and maybe ease it.

But an Android that is not phone-based? Woot.

I'm also beginning to wonder if it has touch screen compatibility. Don't tell me that Fruit Ninja or Angry Birds isn't a thing now.

Pony up, Tails fans!

I think those two games can innovate to any platform, seeing as they even have board games, toy sets, iPhone, Android, Blackberry and Mac store versions. I'm sure this new Android device will be compatible with the current App Store (android's one) but with several launch titles that have been updated fully.
A Tails fan, brony and gamer all in one!

Babs Seed is my favourite pony - she has an inactive blog here: Ask Babs Seed
My presence here isn't that common, but I still consider Tails to be one of my favourite video game characters. Somewhere between the Undertale cast and TF2's cast.
PM me and I'll get back to you with up-to-date contact details if you're into playing some TF2, Splatoon 2, Civ 5, Terraria, Minecraft, Puyo Puyo Tetris, or many other PC / Wii U / Switch games.

My lil reward for being nice or something.

It does have a touch screen display, so any non controller compatible apps will work.
