Offer Code: Austin8. 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. Twitter.
