Nvidia's Project Shield--now known as Nvidia Shield--will launch by the end of June for $350, the company announced today. It will will be available through Nvidia's website, as well as at Newegg, GameStop, Micro Center, and Canada Computers.

Fans who signed up to received Shield update can begin preordering today, while reservations will open to the general public through the company's website on May 20, as well as via the participating partners listed above.

Along with news of price and release date, Nvidia announced a handful of games coming to the Shield. Double Fine is supporting the platform with two titles: its Kickstarter-funded Broken Age and Costume Quest.

Other titles coming to Nvidia Shield include Flyhunter from Pixar veterans, as well as Skiing Fred from Dedalord Games and Chuck's Challenge from Niffler.

The Nvidia Shield gives gamers access to an array of gaming avenues, including Nvidia TegraZone, Google Play, and Steam. The system runs on the Tegra 4 processor and boasts 16GB of memory, GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, a mini-HDMI output, a microSD storage slot, and a headphone jack.

The device also features a five-inch, 720p multi-touch display. For more on the Nvidia Shield, check out GameSpot's preview of the device from the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year.
