Nvidia's Shield Gets Its Own Little Slice Of Cloud Gaming

Nvidia's GRID game streaming service goes live across Shield portables and tablets today, with 20 games available for free remote play. When conditions are perfect, it's one of the best remote gaming services I've tried.

Free for Shield owners through June 30, 2015, the GRID gaming service launches today alongside the Shield Tablet rollout of Android 5.0 Lollipop, making it the first non-Google device to score the latest version of the operating system. This means that one of the most powerful Android tablets available now has access to OpenGL ES 3.1 and the Android Extension Pack. Should developers harness such a combination, they could easily create console-rivaling experiences on the Shield.

When the not-exactly-small five-inch PlayStation Vita just isn't enough handheld for your... hands, it's time for the DekaVita 7 -- literally "huge Vita 7". Gametech has managed to make the Vita TV portable, by attaching HDMI and AC connectors, buttons and a seven-inch IPS screen to the miniconsole. (Why?) The result is something approaching a slightly smaller Wii U GamePad, although there's no touchscreen -- because there isn't any compatibility with the Vita TV. (Seriously, why?) It'll cost 23,000 yen when it launches sometime in Spring 2015, although early preorders will get a 4,000 yen discount. Japan residents can do that here. Just, why?
