Dec 5, 2017 11:30 PM • by Adam Conway | The Nvidia Shield will receive select Nintendo GameCube and Wii Games in China The Nvidia Shield is an Android-powered gaming device made by Nvidia using an in-house processor, the Tegra. With enhanced processing capabilities, the device runs Half-Life 2 and Portal, along with the ability to stream games using Nvidia GameStream from your Nvidia powered PC. The Nvidia Shield has so much untapped power that simplistic Android games which may push an Adreno GPU will generally run very well on the Nvidia Kepler GPU that is in the Tegra SoC. Now we'll be those limits pushed even further with new games from Nintendo, at least in China anyway. Thanks to a partnership between Nvidia, iQiyi, and Nintendo, you'll soon see HD Nintendo games from the now eleven years old Wii on the Nvidia Shield, but with a catch. These games will be a China-only exclusive, with it being extremely unlikely that we'll see this in the west. The games we will see for sure are New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, PUNCH-OUT!! and, at a later date, Metroid Prime. New Super Mario Bros., Twilight Princess, and PUNCH-OUT!! are all available currently. The remastered games cost about 68 RMB, or $10 each. It is currently unknown if we will see any other Nintendo games on the device. This is not the first crossover between Nvidia and Nintendo, where Nvidia's Tegra actually powers the somewhat recently launched Nintendo Switch, one of their more successful consoles in recent years. The Nvidia Shield in China is a slightly different beast than in the west, powered by the voice control AI Baidu and more localized content on the device. The press release from Nvidia can be read below: Extending the business relationship that brought NVIDIA technology to Nintendo Switch, some of Nintendo's most beloved Wii and Nintendo GameCube titles are officially headed to China for the first time. New Super Mario Bros. Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and PUNCH-OUT!! are remastered in 1080p and available on the China version of NVIDIA SHIELD, released today. SHIELD owners in China will be able to download and play select Wii and Nintendo GameCube titles, with others coming soon – among them,Super Mario Galaxy. These amazing games have been provided to NVIDIA under license. Customized for the China market, SHIELD is a completely localized device, with local content, store, search and more. SHIELD will bring Chinese customers a brand-new experience in gaming, AI and home entertainment with Baidu's DuerOS conversational AI system and abundant entertainment options from iQIYI. What do you think? Are you interested in playing Nintendo GameCube or Wii games on the NVIDIA Shield?
