Finally, NVIDIA's Project SHIELD is ready for pre-order for users who previously signed up to receive SHIELD updates via email. We have to wait until May 20th to secure their own. The actual units should be shipping around June, and the launch will be limited to North America.
SHIELD is hitting the market with decent price at $350 – that is really reasonable price for decent spec:
- Tegra 4 – The world’s fastest mobile processor delivers rich graphics and unbeatable performance thanks to 72 GPU cores, four CPU cores and 2GB of RAM
- Console-grade controller – Precise control thanks to dual analog joysticks, a full-sized D-Pad, left and right analog triggers, full-sized bumpers and A/B/X/Y buttons
- Multi-touch display – 5-inch, 720p retinal multi-touch display for high-fidelity visuals
- Integrated speakers – Custom, bass reflex, tuned port audio system – we think this is SHIELD’s sleeper feature
- Wi-Fi – 802.11n 2X2 MIMO game-speed Wi-Fi for game streaming
- Pure Android – Latest Android Jelly Bean operating system from Google, for access to Android games and apps
- There’s more – We put into SHIELD everything we would want in a premium mobile gaming device: 16 GB memory, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, a mini-HDMI output, micro-USB 2.0, a microSD storage slot, a 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack. See the full spec sheet, here.
NVIDIA claims that Shield will have optimization for the GTX streaming and some Steam games at launch, any game that supports controllers in Steam will be compatible with the feature.
NVIDIA also announced five new Tegra 4-optimized titles that already support for SHIELD:
- Broken Age
- Costume Quest
- Flyhunter: Origins
- Skiing Fred
- Chuck's Challenge
