This is also why Pokémon Unite was a thing: Releasing a game as domestically made allows for MUCH faster approval. https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1289055601884979201

He left the company in 2008 after translating Super Mario Galaxy and other titles for the iQue Wii, because the console got cancelled and he and many others do not have more hope for the future of the company in China.
Fri Aug 14 02:42:25 +0000 2020Replying to @checkerfired1
Because the government had a ban on import consoles. iQue was previously able to slide the iQue Player in as a "domestic" console and iQue GBA/DS as "media players". That somehow did not work for the Wii.

There will probably be an unavoidable swarm of listings of like new RFA China editions because they don't work on the Global Switch.
Worst of all, the included game is said to be digital only, so they might have scratched the code as well (albeit unused still)
