I think people like the idea of having Nintendo's entire catalog on the go

It's not, there is a character in the shape, and camera exposure and blur is making it look like it.
You can see either in some other shots better.

This bulletpoint from this website says this version has online.
"Online multiplayer, with a maximum of 12 Chinese players in each game (the original Wii version game no longer supports online multiplayer features)."
Also you can unlock Rosalina right away if you play mario galaxy.
So, China has Galaxy, Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario Kart on the Shield. The rest of the world gets some NES games in a month on the Switch.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
I'm afraid I'm not getting the correlation in your statement.
The Nvidia Shield is assuredly a spiritual successor to Nintendo's iQue hardware but featuring Wii software. What does that have to do with NES games on the Switch?
I'm continually fascinated by the Chinese gaming market. I would love a documentary about how that all works. So interesting.
The Shield is getting better back catalog support than the Switch... I think you get the correlation just fine.
complete runs have been gaining traction nowadays and this version would be beneficial.
the meat of Mario Kart games is the track selection and there's only 3 tracks in the Wii game that also appear in MK8. you'd get vastly different games. also, these are priced at the equivalent of $20 iirc. that price point would swing a lot of people even if the game had no online play (Switch is very good for local multi)
this isn't like Splatoon 1 and 2 where 2 has made 1 irrelevant due to almost all of the multiplayer maps from 1 returning in 2.

Should have been first post.
Are you kidding me? Mario Kart Wii is an amazing game.
This right here. MK8 was released in 2014 and those tracks don't last forever. It's great to have options. (Make that, it would be great to have options)
Because the Switch is built on standardised architecture, which means future consoles will almost certainly be able to play the games.
Get everything on Switch, and you'll get it on the Super Switch, the Switch 128 and the Switchcube.
Hey don't trash on Balloon Fight, it's one of my favorite NES games. It's like Joust but better.
Balloon Fight was cool the first 5 times it was included in everything. Nintendos go to games are getting extremely stale now.
Maybe one day Nintendo will bring Wii/Gamecube over to the Switch. I am so thirsty for Thousand Year Door.
How many Shields have sold in China? Any figures/estimates/etc...? I assume this is a way for Nintendo to introduce their IP in China with low risk while they continue to look for a way to fully enter the market officially?
