The Math "game", Nobita's Number Adventure, was previously released on the 3DS in Traditional Chinese with Taiwanese mandarin dubs, but both the Tencent and Global Switch releases have only the Japanese dubs available.

Even counting demos(体験版) as separate titles, the Tencent Nintendo Switch only has 36 software (before these two "games".

There two other Doraemon titles were Kanji (Chinese characters) and Puzzle.
The Kanji game was probably rejected because courses were engineered for the Japanese instead of the S. Chinese script, and the Puzzle one is probably too similar to a game to release under "education".

Demos and full games are displayed as separate titles.
Wed Jan 19 02:47:48 +0000 2022The release of these two "Education Application" is noteworthy especially considering the recent freeze (yes, again) in game approval.
Releasing qualifying software as "Applications" bypasses the need for approval, just like what Tencent did for Jump Rope Challenge. https://twitter.com/chinesenintendo/status/1483625934653689856

Very good question, one which I personally don't have a good answer for. It will probably be up to Tencent and the censors in China to decide whether they could pass it off as one.

Are you using Wechat with a Chinese phone number or a foreign one? I hear that Wechat/Weixin flags its user region (and the respective privacy policy) based on the region of phone numbers.
