Glass Joe is named "Fragile Chin Joe" in the Chinese version, a possible reference to his nickname "France's Glass Jaw".

Space Junk Galaxy is "Stardust Galaxy" in the Chinese version, and "Fountain" is "Shower Room".
Since the Nvidia Shield does not have a Wii Message Board equivalent, this feature is removed from the Super Mario Galaxy port.
Now I've played Rolling Star Galaxy with traditional controls, here are my feels:
First of all, there's still some challenge. You will not get the same level of agility of Mario on foot. If you give the stick a quick tap when the ball is at rest, it won't stop after a few secs.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
It is still impossible to do a sudden turn when the ball is moving at high speed, but at lower speed the ball is still pretty easy to manuver.
I still lost 4 lives on this level, but all were lost on attemping to grab the large "?" coins, which I didn't even dare in the original.

It's the comet that imposes a time limit on the current Galaxy, not the one that makes foes run faster.

Mariowiki translated that comet as "Death Comet", but the actual Chinese was referring to the personification of death and not the noun of die, so I decided to translate it this way.

In the ShieldTV port of Super Mario Galaxy, the A button is used to jump/talk while the RT button is used to drag Pull Stars/Sling Pods.
My initial theory was that this port mapped the Wii Remote A button to both the A and RT buttons on the Shield controller, but this was false.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
The truth is, you CANNOT use the RT button to jump, nor can you use the A button to interact with Pull Stars. It's true that both actions are tied to the A button on the Wii release, but in the Shield port, they managed to separate the actions. I have no idea how they did this.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
Upon testing, here are my discoveries:
A button only: Jump/talk/respond to the "button A" promt of the speech box.
Also, you can only press A to start the game.
RT button only: Pull Stars/Sling Pods
Both: UI navigation by pointing the Wii remote at the TV in the Wii version.

Super Mario Land & Super Mario Land 2 official Chinese cartridges.
The translations of the two games are "Mario World" and "Mario World Episode 2/Mario Bros. World Episode 2", respectively.

Nope. The games are entirely in English.
Replying to @MyriadOfLeaves
Yes. Many Chinese gamers playing Octopath Travelers complained about "old English" when the actually mean Shakespearean English.
Replying to @yljohn0408
I think the first line of Chinese is S. Chinese and the second line is T. Chinese. The cartridge is probably designated for sale both in Mainland and Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan.

This is indeed weird. Chinese gamers love many Nintendo exclusives, but weirdly, Mario is not on the top part of their list.
It took almost 13 years for Nintendo to figure out that Mario isn't the right way to fight their way into the Chinese market. https://twitter.com/MetalMarioJSKR/status/1042460160688451584

What kind of task is it?
Replying to @GoldLuigi88889
It's true that the Sino-Japanese relationship is not very good mostly because of WWII, but many Japanese brands are doing far better than Nintendo in China. For instance, the PlayStation consoles/games and many Japanese third parties have high popularity among Chinese gamers.

Update: The North American (Western?) version of the game also have Nintendo HK/iQue in special thanks, despite not having any Chinese localization contents.

There are two stickers slapped on the box to differentiate it from the actual Japanese release.

The sticker on the right just says Chinese supported, but the sticker on the left is very interesting.
It says "The game is the Japanese version so the included download code is not usable."
The truth is, it is usable, but only on the Japanese eShop but not the Hong Kong one.

After Nintendo Switch Online membership officially rolled out yesterday, many Chinese gamers have suffered with black screens and connection failures in Splatoon 2 and MK8D.
Tests have shown that it is probably due to the introduction of Google-based servers.

NVIDIA is releasing a "NVIDIA Shield Nintendo Special Edition" in China for a limited time.
This special edition includes a NVIDIA Shield console, and download codes for all 4 Nintendo games.
Item ships worldwide: https://item.jd.com/4488421.html
Offer available from Sept 27 to Oct 10.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
IMPORTANT: The four Nintendo games are included as download codes, which SHOULD eliminate the need for a Chinese credit card.
If you plan to import the Chinese NVIDIA Shield, it's probably the best time to get it now.

There is also a very interesting detail about this promotion:
The price of the "Special Edition" is just the same as the original MSRP without Nintendo games.
However, instead of advertising free Nintendo games, NVIDIA advertised a "272 RMB discount" (Nintendo games are 68 each)
Replying to @chinesenintendo
This change is further emphasized by NVIDIA's revision on their official wechat account.
The top article, titled on playing Nintendo games for free, was deleted and replaced by the bottom article, which now emphasized the discount.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to save the first article on wayback machine, but memory tells me that the contents are mostly, if not 100% identical.
Deleted first article: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/pg1Udhw1iW_VPExWhuG1oQ
Present second article: https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/I9GDB_DjEB-uI5h_kVTkSA

Translations for the two titles:
Original:
"If only you could play Nintendo games for free...What? You really can?!"
Revision:
"Save 272 RMB Now! SHIELD Nintendo Special Edition now avaliable!"

Also, NVIDIA wishes everyone a National Day holiday that is "As Cool as Link, as Powerful As Little Mac, as Cute as Mario, and as Environmentally Friendly as Luigi".
The National Day holiday provides 7 consecutive days off, the longest in the entire year.
Replying to @JasonBall34
It should. Unfortunately I did not see anything about Mario Kart from their latest weibo or wechat article.
Replying to @Dystrophical
I think it's more that they wanted to properly reflect Nintendo's value on software, that they should not be considered "free" or "cheap" easily.
I think I read one of Nintendo's statements on this recently, but I couldn't remember the exact words.

Not really, I think it's just Nintendo. I personally think the "free" keyword is a golden word like it is in the West, but the problem is, most older (Pre-2010) Nintendo games are mostly played in China via piracy.
Replying to @Zachruff
I think it has to do with his iconic color. "Green" can be used to express environmental friendliness in the Chinese language too.
