Anyone got an Nvidia Shield?

[Tupin]

I've been looking for a portable Android emulation handheld, and this seems to be my best option since I really don't want to have to deal with designed for China tablets. Anyone get one and try it out? I would be able to do the streaming, but that honestly doesn't interest me much as much as the power of the system to run emulators.

It is bar none the best Emulation handheld out there.

I have them all and nothing can touch the Shield.

Get it and you won't be disappointed.

Sounds like I have a plan then.

Could you take some pics of what you are running on it ?

I'd be interested in that as well. With a Tegra 4, it should be able to run quite a lot.

For $300, you can do a lot better. Even if you hate the Chinese handhelds, at that rate you're probably better off just getting a Nexus 7 and bluetooth controller.

While the Shield looks good, it doesn't seem worth the asking price, especially if you plan on using it primarily for emulation (which honestly does not take that much power). That's more than a 3DS, Vita, or even a Wii U.

See, I want an all-in-one. I've gotten those Bluetooth controllers before and it kind of takes away the point for me. I may have to look into those Chinese handhelds, but nothing is as powerful as the Shield.

And thats where you're wrong.

It is totally worth it, and blows all the Chinese handhelds out of the water.

And a phone with a bluetooth controller is not a Shield. Once you have a Shield in your hand you don't pick up any other system for portable emulation. It's that good.

And as a bonus they are trying and getting close to getting Gamecube emulation running decently on the Shield. Will they succeed ?????
