Nintendo Wii and Gamecube classics are coming to the Nvidia Shield in China
Nvidia and Nintendo have been working together for quite some time, with Nintendo using Nvidia-made Tegra SOCs in their new Switch Console.

Below is a message from Nvidia’s PR team, which confirms that these game are coming to the Sheild with resolutions of 1080p, though sadly these releases will be exclusive to China’s version of the Nvidia Shield.
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.
