Only for cars (which this conference also had a big focus on), and there was no reference to the Drive PX being even tangentially related to this Shield or any new/updated X1 or P1 (the latter does not currently exist under any designation). It really looks like its the same thing, for the same price, with a new controller.

Now I secretly want it to be exactly that.
Please.

Twitch streaming on the go has the possibility to be hilarious, awesome, scary and amazing D:
do it Nintendo, put streaming in the system
the average consumer : Idontknowher.gif
don't think I've seen a nVidia shield in store at target or gamestop, think I saw it at best buy once but it was placed in the PC section
Nintendo shouldn't be shook at that.

Dumbest thing I've read it in a while, surprised it was from you.
It might be "dry" but games will be shown and that will be exciting regardless of the format.
Well, there's more to a gaming console than just processing power.
Nintendo won't promote the event if it will just look like an earnings briefing lol.
That's not what it is at all. lol.

the predictions for like 10+ Gamecube VC games on launch are crazy lol
It will most likely be 1-4 max and that includes third parties.
Nintendo will space out VC like wii and wii u
luigis mansion VC day 1 will be hype though B^)

The Shield doesn't render games per say.
It can use GeForce Now to play Steam AAA games on your TV, or stream your desktop PC games using the Shield or play Android Games.
The 4K HRD is purely for video streaming.

According to this article it supports both 4K HDR video streaming and gaming.
Man Nintendo has traumatized some of you people lol. Relax. You'll get the full blowout on the 12th. Specs, prices, launch date, launch games, bundles and upcoming software.

Well I'm sure it can play Tetris in 4K....
You did it.
It can definitely render games. It's Android TV, which has plenty of native games available for it. Some of those will definitely be rendering in 4K. But uh, they're obviously not going to be rendering games equivalent to The Last Guardian.

They'll probably have a English Nintendo Direct at the same time I hope.
Or else they do something like confirm Splatoon 2 at launch but it actually comes out in May in the west ruining dreams. D:
Nintendo Switch |OT| I have a Vita, I have a Wii U...ugh! Nintendo Switch!

Also, this comparison is bad, the Shield doesn't have a touchscreen, battery, motion controls, NFC, etc, there's a lot of extra stuff the Switch needs that isn't free. They're two completely different products.
You're right, but there will be a LOT of this, as if only a couple of numerical values matter and everything else can be tossed aside for the sake of comparison.
This will be the cross to bear for a hybrid console, actually. Strap in.
I honestly think I'm the only fool left who believes that Nintendo will do the VC right this time as far as most of the library being available early, pricing, and game transfers are concerned. They could make sooooooo much money off of me on just the VC.
Wii (Mini) was $150 dollars when 3DS was first launched and more powerful than 3DS. Switch and Shield are completely different products, Switch has much more packed in a single box.
I'm making like Jordan Schlansky and preparing my body in various ways for this.
The hybrid concept suits me right down to the ground given that I don't have a TV at the moment and may/may not get one on the future.
And being currently based in neither Europe, NA, nor Japan, whispers of region-free would be absolutely perfect.
Switch is already perfect for me - I'm just excited to see whether there'll be a nice slew of games that will push me to get one at launch.

B..But they can both play Netflix so the Switch and Shield are automatically comparable.
Everyday these posts get scarier and scarier. By next week someone is going to be comparing the Switch to an easy bake oven.

Like the Wii U, I will mostly game on the small screen with the Switch.
I just like playing games while laying in bed.
.
On another note, looking to apps that aren't game related, what do you expect besides Netflix and a web browser? A return to Google Earth or those touristy videos like the Wii U got? Is it even too much to hope that Netflix will bring offline download to the Switch like they have with Android and iOS?
Switch was already compared to a toaster.
Hahah 
Don't hate me, guys! My pessimistic side trolling in myself more than usual today! I guess what I said was indeed exaggerated and dumb because Nintendo wouldn't be promoting the hell out of this presentation if it was going to be just a boring/monotone conference. Even Reggie mention it with Jimmy Fallon and Nintendo Japan is announcing the event on train stations, plus the game previews for the press like NateDrake mentioned, totally forgot about those, so yeah, it seems dis is gun' be big!

Does the general public care that much about 4k?
Get real now, you're forcing this narrative to a comedy level.
I don't think the general public even knows about the shield tv.
how many of those have their own screens

It's ok, dude.Hahah
Personally, I enjoyed your MuchoMalo impersonation.
Microsoft and Sony seem to think so.
That's a fair point. You think there won't be comparisons in the media?

4K is for blu ray on Xbox One S. Also pretty sure the MSRP for the thing is $300 unless I missed a price drop.
No one cares about the Android TV and it lacking portability makes it different products
Has the PS4 Pro not have a less than stellar roll-out though?
I lol'd. His post in the Ubisoft thread yesterday...only one person took the bait

Will people set up a discord chat for the presentation?
They won't mention resolutions at all except to say things like "With it's True HD output.."

I just found out about the Shield now and I play lots of games. I doubt the casual audience know what the fuck it is or its existence.
Also most people rarely care for 4K.
