Mon Apr 01 06:07:30 +0000 2019On April 1st, 2017, mocked images of the "iQue Switch" official website were published. Some were upset over this April Fool's joke as they thought their earnest desire was teased.
Nonetheless, 2 years later, with the exception of an actual Chinese release, everything is reality.

A Fire Emblem Heroes clone claims itself to be the "Official Chinese version", popping up when you search for "Fire Emblem Heroes" on Baidu.
The official game has never been officially released in Mainland China, nor does it play in Simplified Chinese.

The clone actually has an ISBN license issued by the government, meaning it was actually approved for business.

It would largely depend on which service carrier runs your internet. Some are better with connections to Nintendo Switch Online than others. As for the Wii U, most feed back I see did not complain about connection failures: Most problems seems to be with online multiplayer.

The iQue is not "closed" as the company no longer functions. The company was deprived of its distributor duty and works solely as a localization center since then.

From the document, it seems the Nintendo name is used.
Also in Nintendo's fiscal reports, iQue no longer has a distributor duty, so it's highly unlikely there will be any new Nintendo products released under the iQue brand.

Mon Apr 22 07:22:03 +0000 2019Nintendo HK's official online store is now LIVE!
Link: https://store.nintendo.com.hk/
Unlike WhatsMall, this store is completely run by Nintendo, but the link to the old WhatsMall distributor is still present on Nintendo HK's website.

Prices are also cheaper on the new official eShop page.
Most $60 games are HK $429. BOTW is HK $499 and XC2 is HK$569
(US $55, $64 and $73)
They were HK $480, HK $560, and HK $640 on WhatsMall
(US $61, $71, and $82)
Tue Apr 23 02:58:59 +0000 2019Interestingly, Nintendo HK's new eShop website lists American/British English, Canadian French/French, and Latin America Spanish/Spanish as separate language.
This particular example is Super Mario Party's webpage:

They still have no flags, which is weird. They had a flag back in Mario Kart 7.

Nor was Chinese support mentioned on the shop page.
I'm mainly interested in the mention of English support in the last post, because other regions seldom specify US/UK English support, but rather list "English" as a whole.
Tue Apr 23 03:38:10 +0000 2019Replying to @StevenZeng96
You're right. This is not yet final. An ideal state would be the same as the current Japanese/American/European eShop where games can be bought directly on the console.

Hopefully I will be able to update this much regularly than the Nvidia Shield sales counter, as I can do it on a computer and don't have to boot up the TV & Shield console.
Tue Apr 23 04:43:19 +0000 2019Replying to @cerusplats
It is indeed interesting. FFX/XII and Super Robot Wars only have Chinese support in the Hong Kong version so that could explain their popularity.
I guess some people thought buying the HK version of AA Trilogy would ensure them getting the translations?
Tue Apr 23 04:48:20 +0000 2019Replying to @cerusplats
Those who purchase AA on the HK shop are not missing anything. Yet, this is not their only choice: The versions sold in other regions could very well come with Chinese support too, simultaneously with the version sold on the HK eShop.

The logo was in Chinese since update 1.5.0 but the game title text remained in English until V1.6.0.
I am not sure about T. Chinese although I would not assume it to be in a different situation than S. Chinese.
