    for me the best thing about the nvidia shield is of course that i can use moonlight to stream pc games from my pc to my vita. that's such a cool feature and only possible because of shield functions in the geforce software. in others words it made having a hacked vita even more awesome than it already is. played steam games portable long before the steamdeck. like valfaris, which was promised to come out on vita, but then didn't. so i purchased it on sale and played it through moonlight. in your face, big sugar! cool metal outro, comrade. yeah! 🤟

    Great video. I bought the Shield portable and Shield tablet with controller on launch. I purchased Half- life 2 and Portal back then on the playstore and they run perfectly on both. Recently I bought a few more shield portables and a K1 shield tablet strictly for emulation. Keep up the great content. Happy to see some NVIDIA Shield love.

    I own a shield tablet, I made the mistake of updating the Android version so when the battery is full the performance is poor, but when the battery hits 85% it works perfectly, use it for retro games such as GB, PS1, MD etc but lately I read there and watch youtube it's the perfect size for ebook reading

    Some pre-installed apps on Android update in the background. Google Play started working because of that probably. Especially when device hasn't been used in a long time, it would have to update a lot of stuff at once. Trying to launch it again and again will only delay the update. And you need the latest version (available for your system) to actually use it. So if it suddenly started working on its own after some time, that's probably why.

    I had one and loved it. I loved the controller, felt like real controller. I played it non stop for years. I wished they had made a successor. Then I got a steam deck and that feels like the successor to the Nvidia shield. So I ended up selling the Nvidia shield. There will be no shield 2 ever produced. Nvidia stated they only made the handheld to show off what its tegra chip could do. The goal for Nvidia was to sell the chip to a gaming company. When Nintendo used the chip Nvidia agreed not to produce a competing gaming device.
