NVIDIA SHIELD Portable Update Rolling Out, Features SHIELD Controller Support and SHIELD Hub App

A major update is rolling out to owners of the SHIELD aka SHIELD Portable from NVIDIA. In the update, which is available now as OTA 5 Release 82, users can instantly hook up a SHIELD Controller through newly-implemented compatibility, as well as manage Controller settings through the official SHIELD Controller application.
