A $200 Google/Youtube machine with a janky remote, a super weird user experience, and games that don't work with Nvidia peripherals

You can play games from such great gaming companies like: TellTale Games.

It’s games are limited to RPG, first person shooters, and kiddie games

Well kinda, it has some really good games like Metal Gear Rising, Tomb Raider (reboot), and plenty more that you can see if you search on Youtube for the best game on theNvidia Shield TV offline

I have played games streaming from my computer and it works wonderfully fast responsive and the games you can download onto the system work flawless and play

I tried a game off the Google Play store and it worked great

Problem 2 the games looks substantially worse on a 70" 1080p TV than they look on my dedicated monitors.

For the gamers you can Gamestream your favorite PC games (PC must have an nvidia video card) onto the Shield and play them through the console over your local network

The remote arrived with dead batteries and the mic does not work well but the game controller mic works great

No real sports games available - Madden, NBA 2K, MLB, NASCAR, FIFA

The games that you can play feels so arbitrary at times, but it fails to capture the real magic

I don't think I could justify using Gamestream for extremely time-sensitive gaming, like competitive CS:GO, but living room-friendly games, and even games like Fallout 4 play very nicely.

I found one of my favorite games from my childhood on the Sega's Genesis that someone had remastered to today's graphics on the Google play store, castle of illusion, and it works great on this thing.

I also use the game controller, not only for playing the hundreds of free games, but for maneuvering, using the mouse on the controller, inside web pages while using google chrome.

However, it hasn't been a big issue for me as several of my favorite apps and games are available

You can play on the shield, basically all your games (No man sky, Battlefield one, Mass Effect Andromeda, GTA5 and so on...almost all games tried does work flawlessly; as long as you have a good

I bought this to actually replace my ps4 cause I like Android games better and the fact that I can live stream them with ease is amazing

Does this device has good games

It is a very fast console, easy to use and install new games, I would ask to improve the controllers compatibility, And with time more free games.

and this thing would be the tits in annoying my wife with my playing awesome computer games.

I signed up for Nvidia Now for 7.99/mo and played the games available to stream for free

Not the best game controller but it will do

It's fast, great picture, free games, and small.

But of course, unlike Xbox, I can play Android games as well (though touch-screen only games like Angry Birds might be a problem)

TV.While not every game on my PC was available, a good many were and played remarkably well

Also more games on GeForce Now would be welcome, but wow what promise that

The free games mostly suck

Reliable and the kids love playing games on it

A $200 Google/Youtube machine with a janky remote, a super weird user experience, and games that don't work with Nvidia peripherals

The games are amazing

As far as a set top box or game console goes, it seems pretty good

I love It, is very fast and the games are very good!

There are NO sports games worth mentioning

What I got was a great streaming device that makes for an excellent Plex server (you'll need to use a USB drive if you get the 16gb model ) and a capable gaming console with a small selection of free games from Nvidia as well as the ability to stream games off my gaming PC onto my big

As for games, the newest iteration of game consoles also support 4K (in varying degrees) and will probably satisfy the serious gamer far more than the Shield TV.There is also the home automation aspects that have been introduced in this round of the Shield TV

The free games mostly suck

While I love the size and feel of the remote, I often switch to using the awkward game controller to control the ShieldTV instead

But of course, unlike Xbox, I can play Android games as well (though touch-screen only games like Angry Birds might be a problem)

no problem ...it is true like another person review said, It is like night and day from the firetv stick i still love my firetv stick but when you get the free games like the ones you will see on the shield waste no more time you will love it too...

I can get even better games from the NVidia Store that the Play Sore doesn't have

The only Shield TV game I have tried, a port from a well known mobile game, constantly crashes

For $8/mo (30 days free), I've got access to a bunch of sweet PC games, and I can play them right in my living room with the included game controller

It's not for everybody, but speaking as a home theater enthusiast who likes games, it's an absolute slam dunk for me

The only bad thing is that games like Need for Speed No Limits, FIFA and others are not supported.

You can also download emulators but its not that big of a deal unless you are super nostalgc about a game and some game dont run all that good

Now, which takes advantage of NVidia's own servers to stream games like Hitman Absolution or Tomb Raider 2013 down to your Shield, or you install high end PC games like Gears of War 4 on a Gaming PC with an NVidia Graphics Card and then use the Gamestream feature to "stream" that game locally from your PC to your NVidia Shield

This runs games very well, though I am running through ethernet on a fairly

Streaming games works as expected, just as good as steam streaming, maybe slightly better

Android games are great, fast, clear, and the controller is comfortable

Android games are great, fast, clear, and the controller is comfortable

Gamestream works really well, just need to make sure that the refresh rate of the pc hosting the games and the refresh rate of the tv that this is connected to is the same, or you

It's also a great gaming console and games are lighting fast and look as good as the ps4 and xbox, the beauty is, just for buying the shield there are many free games

You got to have a 5G wireless router for good game streaming

Fast enough as an android set-top box as well as a game station

The slim remote seems to be finicky but the game controllers and my Harmony work perfectly

The free games seem to always try to make you buy something to use them, so I have not had much luck with them.

The kids loved the android games and even the GeForce NOW feature, although pings are bit horrible at 160 here in South Africa

Some games simply do not like the nvidia controller, and sadly the only alternative i found was using other controllers.

No good games or updated games included for the subscription fee

Downloaded some free games to play from Nvidia games and, most of the time, the connection between the box and the game controller was responsive.

As a owner of the last version of the Nvidia shield and avid gamer

However when they say limited game store they mean a few old games nobody would want,even

Unless you connect via a hardwired internet connection the games are hindered by the WI-FI connection

Nvidias games suck period

or if you are a gamer that likes a Netflix like gaming gaming experience.

and I highly recommend shelling out the $7.00-$8.00 a month for it great value with all the free games you get not only games that would cost $60+ for a

the auto optimize feature makes my games look horrible leaving me an extra step to crank my graphics back up to

Best purchase for a media box and playing powerful games.

So now I have a mediocre game console (my PS3 works better with a gamepad) that can play great PC games poorly or poor Android games greatly

Practically every game I threw at it was unsupported

If you have an Nvidia card in your PC that supports game stream this box is a no brainer if you want to take your PC games into your living room

Could use a better selection of free games, but its all good for now

Android compatible game emulators such as EPSXE and Mupen64 run very well, although keep in mind that retro game emulation always has minor bugs that have nothing to do with how powerful your hardware is

However, there are fun and cheap android games and nvidia even has exclusive android games that aren't on other devices and are generally high quality.

I can play all my games again because this console doesn't stutter and freeze up

it was recommending a game and the background when hovering over it was kinda creepy

I am not a gamer but love my two Nvidia Shields!

Expandable storage via USB flash drives or external SSDs- Google Assistant for quick access and info- Best Kodi streaming box you can buy besides a media center PC-Great game controller with built in 3.5 mm jack for private listening- if you have a GTX 1060 or above you can stream your games to the

game is full of great games

I can see that NVIDIA primarily targets the solitary intense gamer market and ignores more mundane family-based entertainment

Plus emulators help me re-live my very fun childhood games

Fast, smooth, streams everything I throw at it without a hitch AND plays incredible video games too????

Whether it just be simple/cheap/free fun mobile "Android" games like NBA Jam, Super Mega Baseball, or Hungry Shark Evolution, more advanced Play Store games that NVidia optimized specifically for Shield (won't work on other lesser AndroidTV boxes) like Metal Gear Solid Revengeance, higher-end gaming via NVidia's Netflix-like monthly subscription gaming service

It is the most powerful steamer, by far, and allows you to watch your movie and TV apps (some in 4k) and play your favorite games in a variety of ways

* Game and Remote controllers included* Controls very intuitive* Game controller very

Available learning game selections for adolescents are almost nil on the Shield platform

I don't play too many games on it, but the fact that most of the good games you have to pay for, I stick to my PS4 for that entertainment

Very fast, especially in YouTube and GeForce Now games

For example the game Modern Combat 4 doesnt even build right

The addition of gaming and being able to play some classic games like NBA Jam (thats got recent teams/players) and GTA: Vice City, thats just the tip of the ice burg, there is a LOT of other, newer and better games out there

I am able to enjoy my PC games on my living room with my family

With the app installed, you scan your machine for any compatible games that are installed locally

So now I have a mediocre game console (my PS3 works better with a gamepad) that can play great PC games poorly or poor Android games greatly

My Grandkids love the games and controller

Powerful android game system

Fairly nice game selection

the on screen layout is perfect- expandable storage simply works- emulation is great and controller does not need configuredWhat I don't like-library of POPULAR games is limited

but first i want to let anyone considering buying this console to know that it is worth it if you are a big YouTube /netflix/Amazon prime/etc watcher, like the idea of downloading decent quality games for cheap or like hacking things easily to play emulators and watch streaming media of many kinds for free (many YouTube tutorials on how to do these things) then this should be well worth it for you to buy and i would encourage you to do

o SDCZ43-128G-GAM46- SanDisk Ultra Flair USB 3.0 Flash Drive

It consistantly lags after pressing the buttons and will only work as it should if you are no more than three feet away from the Shield TV, and that is even "iffy".

and now she never misses a

I would hook up a PS4 controller or my headphones but doesn't seem to be working as of April

Amazon Prime streams well, but the interface stinks (not NVidia's fault, though, and their interface stinks on every platform as

So if you're going to game with one controller, would recommend using Moonlight app on the shield tv, as it's much smoother than nvidia app
