iQue official site updated its index page layout after 6 years.

Importantly, this is also the first time iQue officially stated itself as a Nintendo subsidiary.
Before this update iQue was still described as a "joint venture" company of Dr. Wei Yen and Nintendo, even when the former already withdrew from Nintendo in 2008.

On the title screen of Super Mario Advance (iQue version), the font for the first character of the word "Game" （游戏）used the traditional Chinese writing instead of the Simplified Chinese version.
遊戏---Shown on title screen.
遊戲---Chinese T.
游戏---Chinese S.

This issue was fixed in the iQue releases of Super Mario Advance 2 & 3.
iQue has obtained an ISBN for Super Mario Advance 4 (meaning it has passed government approval),
but the game was not released.

I haven't seen one myself, but it would be nice if those unreleased items can be unearthed one day.
Or even better, we hope Nintendo/iQue will release them as virtual console titles.

Fun fact: The quote "Nintendo ruled the f*cking world" (From episode 23 of Angry Video Game Nerd, has become one of the most widely used quote among gamers in China.

 Tue Mar 06 06:00:51 +0000 2018

With the Switch providing unique gaming experience and Nintendo's strong support in the Chinese region, this might be the first time Nintendo gained a generally positive image in the last decade.

 Tue Mar 06 06:03:12 +0000 2018

Also, the Chinese language does not have a past tense, so the quote can also be interpreted as "Nintendo RULES the f*cking world"

Burning "Spirit Money" is a common practice in East Asia, especially with Tomb-sweeping festival coming April 4th this year.
Spirit Money is usually a piece of paper that was made to look like currency and was meant to be the currency of Heaven and Hell.

Considering not many 3DS Mario games are getting Chinese support, I will say the chance for the 3DS version localization is not big, but they do have every reason to localize the Switch version!

As today is #MAR10Day I will post some interesting facts about Mario in China.
All facts will come in the comments, please stay tuned!

 Sun Mar 11 03:51:32 +0000 2018

Speculation #1: The most popular Mario game is probably the original Super Mario Bros. Sadly, Nintendo didn't gain muhc out of this popularity as most people knew the game from Famicom clones and bootleg FC cartridges (Commonly called 黄卡[Yellow Cartridge] in China)

 Sun Mar 11 03:56:13 +0000 2018

Speculation #2: The most widely used translation for Super Mario Bros. in the 1980s~2000s was probably “超级玛丽”, literally Super Mary.
When the bootleggers introduced the game, the somehow forgot the "o" in Mario and hence got the wrong translation.

 Sun Mar 11 03:58:22 +0000 2018

Speculation #3: The most widely used unofficial translation today for Mario is “马里奥”, which is still different from the official translation "马力欧"
This is understandable as “马里奥” is probably the commonly used translation outside of iQue/Nintendo's context.

 Sun Mar 11 04:01:25 +0000 2018

Fact #1: The first Mario game(s) that got localized into Chinese are Super Mario 64, Dr. Mario 64, and Mario Kart 64.
All three titles are launch titles for the iQue Player, released on November 17, 2003.

 Sun Mar 11 04:03:37 +0000 2018

Fact #2: Super Mario Odyssey was one of the first Nintendo Switch title announced for Chinese support.
It was announced as early as June 14, 2017.

 Sun Mar 11 04:09:07 +0000 2018

Fact 3: iQue planned to release more Mario games than they did to the Game Boy Advance, including Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga, Super Mario Advance 4, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit. The games were said to have completed.

 Sun Mar 11 04:16:49 +0000 2018

Fact #4: New Super Mario Bros. Wii (for Nvidia Shield) was the one of the first games Nintendo released on a non-Nintendo gaming console in the 21th century.

 Sun Mar 11 04:20:44 +0000 2018

Fact #5: iQue "released" a Mario comic in 2004 which is very similar to but still different from Super Mario Adventures.
The comic was discovered by extracting the CD-ROM bundled with every iQue GBA SP, and running an included 4MB file as a GBA ROM.

Q: What are you future plans?

A: Currently there are quite a lot of good iQue related articles in Chinese that have yet to be translated into English, most written by @Old_Bag_China. I am planning to start a blog or something similar to host those translations.

Yes. The abbreviation 马车 for 马力欧卡丁车 (Mario Kart)is actually very widely accepted among Chinese gamers.

 Fri Mar 23 22:33:22 +0000 2018

The abbreviation is unofficial though. Neither Nintendo nor iQue has used it in an official context.

AFAIK they are exclusive to China, according to Nvidia Shield's official weibo account.

 Sat Mar 24 04:18:04 +0000 2018

I am also looking forward to such videos! Apparently I haven't seen any on Chinese video sites yet, so maybe I will have to save up for a console & capture card and do it myself :/

Super Mario Galaxy (Nvidia Shield) screenshots.

 Sat Mar 24 04:53:41 +0000 2018

Interesting aspects:
1. The copyright year shows 2007-2008. Was it the year when the game was originally planned for release?
2. The game does not support Miis at all. Not even default "Player" Miis.
3. Controller button sprites have been edited to match the Shield controller.

For those asking how motion control is achieved on Nvidia Shield's Mario Galaxy:
Press X to spin

China had a console ban from 2000-2013 that prohibited import of video game consoles. Some consoles & handhelds were able to escape that though various measures, but the Wii wasn't that lucky. (It was more complex than that, but I'm trying to keep it simple.)

 Sat Mar 24 05:11:37 +0000 2018

Most people in China haven't experienced *Nintendo* game consoles for a while. Most game consoles can be easily imported in China, and the popularity of PlayStation/Xbox consoles had always been greater than Nintendo consoles (except the Game Boy Advance and the Switch).

The original Super Mario Galaxy was never released in Chinese, so this is a first.

Wow! A Mario Galaxy knockoff made in 2009... never heard of it before TBH.

In ones. Just 1K~5K copies downloaded.

 Sat Mar 24 08:59:54 +0000 2018

For instance, 4,168 =
Four thousand, one hundred and sixty eight copies downloaded.
Hope that clarifies.

 Sat Mar 24 09:00:41 +0000 2018

Yes, it is.

 Sat Mar 24 19:04:32 +0000 2018

No. They are DL only, just like the iQue Player.

 Sat Mar 24 20:42:43 +0000 2018

Yes. All Nvidia Shield Wii/GCN games are upscaled to 1080P resolution.

 Sat Mar 24 22:50:20 +0000 2018

The Nvidia Shield version does not support Wii Remote/Nunchuck, but rather uses the Shield's own controller.

 Sun Mar 25 03:28:14 +0000 2018

For some reasons, the A button when choosing a Galaxy has been bind to RT instead of A.
(The second image is the same text from the original English release)

 Sun Mar 25 03:50:54 +0000 2018

The cursor is moved with the right analog stick and spin jump is performed by pressing X on the controller. We've yet to know how tilting works.

 Sun Mar 25 04:28:25 +0000 2018

The trailer was originally posted on Weibo, which compresses videos into a lower quality. I guess the original rendered trailer should be in 1080P but the host compressed it down to 720P.

What I heard from @brian02031 , the guy who provided me the screenshots, pointer is controlled with the right control stick. However there are no in-game instructions on how to do that and he figured out the controls himself.

 Sun Mar 25 19:59:26 +0000 2018

I haven't confirmed yet, but the games seem to be in Chinese Simplified only.

 Sun Mar 25 21:32:28 +0000 2018

The Wii Shop Channel Service closure will not affect Chinese-Speaking regions as there's no official Wii in China and the Wii consoles released in HK&TW do not have the Wii Shop Channel. https://twitter.com/Pimpeaux/status/978131462204649473

 Mon Mar 26 05:39:04 +0000 2018

This is the button on the Shield controller, which has the same ABXY layout as an Xbox controller.
The X in this case is equivalent to the Y button on a SNES/DS/Wii Classic Controller.

 Mon Mar 26 16:56:59 +0000 2018

The Shield uses an Xbox-like controller, so A and X are in the place of B and Y buttons on a Nintendo controller.

 Mon Mar 26 17:04:03 +0000 2018

This is the Shield controller, and you press X to spin. Hope this image clarifies.

 Mon Mar 26 17:07:07 +0000 2018

I must have forgotten about that. Also the guy who provided me the images was also playing Mario Galaxy for the first time, so he might not have known.

 Mon Mar 26 18:14:51 +0000 2018

It's rendered in 1080P, unlike the Wii U's Wii mode which basically outputs the 480P render into 1080P thru an HDMI cable.

 Mon Mar 26 18:32:24 +0000 2018

Judging from this image I think the game needs to be fully downloaded.

Based on the known info I made an estimation on how the official emulator possibly mapped the controls.
(I used XBOX ONE controller buttons for the Shield controller because they are similar and I could't find vectors for the latter)

Well, the Nvidia Shield release is officially endorsed by Nintendo, hence the emulator works better than Dolphin.
