  • Bulky gamepad
  • Its unique approach may put off many consumers who want something more
  • Expensive for what it is
  • Small number of games
  • Awkward touchscreen controls
  • Although the Nvidia Shield is comfortable to hold and a pleasure to use
  • It's massive and very
  • Very heavy. Fitting all those gaming controls into the casing has resulted in a console which makes the PS Vita look positively tiny in comparison - this isn't a handheld that you'll effortlessly be slipping into your pocket before leaving the house.Another issue relates to the console's reliance on An
  • Controller isn't included
  • Battery life is poor
  • Not many games push the hardware
  • The Shield Tablet's technological power isn't in doubt
  • But aside from Trine 2
  • There's not much out there that really pushes it to its limits at the moment. Most Android games are rather basic visually
  • Although the preinstalled Nvidia Hub does make the
  • Its plastic chassis feels a little cheap
