Title: What's a NVIDIA SHIELD?
Post by Stephen De Winter on 03/07/20 at 17:57:17

Hi all,

I was submitting a score 2 Super Mario Galaxy on Cyberscore website video game community and I had a choice of submitting my score 2 Wii, Wii U or NVIDIA SHIELD.

I know what a Wii and Wii U r.

My question is, what is a NVIDIA SHIELD? I have very little idea. I researched it very briefly and don't understand.

It appears 2 b some sort of TV. Is it also a games console too? Is it a Nintendo official product? What does it do?

My technology knowledge is lacking especially for a 31 year old man. So please simplify any explanation in a response.

Thanks 4 your help:)

I researched NVIDIA SHIELD again, it appears 2 b some sort of Android device. Still don't know what it does as I've never used one b4.

Interesting that it might play Wii games although I have ZERO interest in using it like a Wii console if it can b utilised in this way.

I think if you don't know what it is then you should just don't care (^:

It's good 2 learn new things, nothing wrong with learning!

Knowledge is useful.

I don't really know why you'd post this in the MKDD forum but oh well, here's something quick research gave me:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Shield_TV
It's a streaming console basically. Netflix, Youtube, Movies, etc

But there's also games that come with it; Overcooked, crossy road, all kinds of stuff. However also Nintendo games though only in China, because a bunch of Wii games didn't release there originally. Nintendo partnered up and officially released those missing games on the Shield.

Thanks 4 the information:)

I was born and diagnosed with, 'High Functioning Autism'.

I wanted 2 find out what a NVIDIA SHIELD was AND have comprehension difficulties. I have thought processing difficulties and delayed comprehension.

At the time I made this post I thought 2 myself, "Maybe someone can help me understand and teach me what a NVIDIA SHIELD is."

Later on I realised, this topic post might b removed due 2 the fact it's NOT relevant 2 the Mario Kart series or specifically MKDD!! I had a delayed realisation that, it's the wrong place 2 ask/irrelevant here.

My High Functioning Autism, confuses my communication and comprehension.

U r right, my question was irrelevant here. Again, I was slow 2 realise what's relevant and irrelevant.

Thanks 4 your help:)
