While this makes for an OK selection of games, it's absolutely tiny when compared to the big boys like Steam and PSN. The likes of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!, and Resident Evil 5 are also due for release soon. Pricing isn't bad either, with Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number going for £11, and Half-Life 2 for £6 (the latter worked flawlessly during testing). For the most part, these are good games, with the likes of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, Trine 2, and Half-Life 2 available to download. If you're after something more advanced than on the Play Store, Nvidia has its own selection of games that work solely on Shield devices. There are cheaper devices you can use for emulation, but they just don't have the CPU and graphics chops for more modern consoles like the N64 to be emulated well.
Everything from the NES through to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation worked-with a few exceptions-flawlessly, with high frame rates across the board.
Thanks to the Tegra X1, the Shield is one of the best emulators around. The other interesting thing that's on the Play Store is emulators. There are casual classics like Crossy Road, Rayman: Fiesta Run, and Pac-Man CE, plus deeper games like The World Among Us, Titan Souls, and Final Fantasy VI. The Play Store doesn't have a huge number of games on it, but you can find gems amongst the dross. Essentially you have four different options for playing games on the Shield: the Play Store, the Shield Games store, GeForce Now, and GameStream. Games are where the Shield really starts earning its £149 price tag.
