#nvidia shield kitkat update

Earlier today, NVidia announced that they will be rolling out a firmware update for their popular Android-based gaming console which brings all the good stuff that Android KitKat has to offer, as well as a new feature called Remote GameStream. Although the GameStream is already supported prior to the update, Shield users are only restricted to their local network when streaming games. Speaking of additional features, the firmware update will also enable the NVidia Shield to support wireless mice/keyboards which will certainly come in handy when the Shield is on Console Mode. Along with the announcement of the upcoming Android KitKat update, which is expected to be seeded on the 2nd of April, NVidia is also giving the Shield a temporary $50 price cut until the end of next month. This means that you can get the NVidia Shield for only USD199.99, a hundred dollars less than its SRP when it first made its debut last year.

To further demonstrate the power of its recently announced Tegra 4 processor, NVIDIA has just unveiled a new handheld gaming console called Project Shield. In addition, NVIDIA also equipped Project Shield with an advanced sound processing technology that claims to rival Beats Audio, a 33Wh battery that can provide up to 10 hours of playtime, a microUSB port, and a micro-SD card slot for more storage.
