I do not have any information from iQue, but my guess is that the DSi only and mediocre sales and it wasn't seen as profitable to bring in the DSi XL.

Well. I wouldn't say it is a flop like the iQue 3DSXL or the iQue Player, but sales of iQue DSiWare were most likely poor. Sequels to a freeware was cancelled because of low download counts; most people use flashcarts which may be made useless after system updates.

I haven't played the Arts & Letters edition, but it would be logical that the training activities are dedicated to their respective language and would require heavy changes to adapt to another language, whereas the activities for math are universal.

Brain Age: Concentration Training's Chinese language release changed the reading material to Chinese classics, which is a lot of work to do.
Thu Jun 03 21:52:52 +0000 2021On May 28th, 2020, a user named "8964!!!" uploaded a Super Mario Maker 2 with level names and descriptors mocking Chinese president Xi Jinping, causing SMM2 to be removed from stores.
Unlike the Hong Kong protests in Animal crossing, this act was barely reported before the ban.
Thu Jun 03 22:43:07 +0000 2021Replying to @chinesenintendo
Many Chinese gamers were aware of a potential restriction coming to ACNH as there were coverage of protestor arts in-game before online store removals. Xi-mocking text and images, however, are near impossible to circulate in China and the SMM2 ban appeared out of the blue.

Devotion, a Taiwanese indie game was removed from Steam and denied re-released on GOG because their early build had one texture saying "Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh". The game can only be purchased on the developer Red Candle's official website because of one texture.

Texts mocking typos in Xi's speech (which were often censored on Chinese social media), as well as nicknames mocking him as the last emperor, etc. They are hard to translate due to language gags.

A lot of these come from typos he made during speeches and nicknames to make fun of him:

For better or worse, neither Smash Ultimate nor ARMS are popular with non-gamers in China, which made them more or less free from the xenophobic fire suffered by Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I understand. 5 years ago, the Chinese-speaking Nintendo fans were in a similar situation as you are, being neglected by Nintendo. Chinese language support is now very robust and I think Portuguese is going in that direction.
