The unused Simplified Chinese text for the Wii's Mii Channel mentions the "iQue DS" for the "Connect to DS" option.
*The Mii Channel was never officially available in Chinese. The screenshots come from an unofficial Chinese Mii Channel, using official text and custom font.
The iQue 3DSXL 's Mii Maker is unable to connect to any Wii console.
This feature was cancelled probably because the iQue Wii was never released.

Turns out the game does not support the accessory, so this is a mislabel.
(Test results given by @zhaochen0507 )
Unlike the other Nintendo releases, DKCR is considered a "Western (欧美, Europe-American)game" because it was developed by Retro Studios.
Somehow, the game's genre is "Role Playing(角色扮演)" instead of "Action Adventure(动作冒险)" like Super Mario Galaxy. I wonder why. https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1147174762650562560

Even with only a single trailer released, the Mainland China version of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has shown some striking differences against its international S. Chinese counterpart.
Thanks to iQue enthusiast 老骗 (Lao Pian), we have gathered some differences shown in the trailer.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
1. The Mainland China edition will feature a more thorough translation:
The English Text for "New Record!" and "You Win!" in the current S. Chinese option have been changed to their Chinese counterparts, "新的记录!" and "你方获胜!" respectively.
Replying to @chinesenintendo
