As someone in China - the Nintendo Switches here are basically region-locked. The eshop only has titles that have official releases in China, and the majority of switch games do not get released here so they simply are not available. So most Chinese gamers opt to import Switches from Japan and Hong Kong. My best guess is that Tencent has realized that this way of selling consoles is not being embraced by the market, at least to their expectations, so they're cutting their losses
As far as I'm aware this is mostly due to the restrictions Chinese switches have so that most people in China find it easier to ship regular switches up from Hong Kong then to buy the region locked Chinese ones with a limited game selection.
This is just a theory now..... but hear me out...... China is well known for their bootleg games especially when it comes to Nintendo games and moreover they sell emulator rom sets all around the world that include Nintendo consoles/games and even more to the point these emulator boxes with ROMS also have Switch games on their menus. I have a feeling China isn't bowing down to Nintendo's demands to stop using such things. Now out here in America where I'm at Nintendo is suing the daylights out of users of emulators and ROMS, however China is it's own entity and prior history can repeatedly show us they don't bow down to ANYONE's demands economically or otherwise especially when it comes to foreign entities. Nintendo can't sue people out there. It's just a hunch but I believe it's a good one.
@@Voiceoffolk I'll be honest with you..... I don't agree with China's motivations.... at all..... however I DO admire they have the stones not to sit back and try to kiss everyone's buttocks in the world trying to be pals with the knowledge that everyone is always trying to rule over everyone else. It's a sad twisted reality but none the less America used to have standards and one of those standards was not to have affiliations with communism in any way shape or form, but lets be fair here because really it doesn't matter what form of economy or government a society has, does it? What really matters is the people in charge of a said society, civilization, nation, country, or region. I don't know why but the masses ALWAYS seem to be comfortable with evil and wicked and corrupt selfish people being in charge and their selfish and wicked motivations that cause economic decline, wars, destruction, civil unrest, all in the name of their self proclaimed godhoodism. These leaders have placed themselves above other people like they're some kind of god, although they bleed like us, they get sick like us, and they die like the rest of us. All throughout history no matter what region or nation we see this. You'd think by now after thousands of years of human history we'd have learned this lesson but alas history always repeats itself forevermore. People are dumb, stupid, gullible, and retarded.
here in the greatest country on earth UNITED STATES OF AMERICA we can play any type of game we want and watch anything we want…..I’m proud to be AMERICAN 😃🇺🇸
@@minecrafter3448 Their legal team The fact they rarely if ever listen to their community DMCA'ing fan games instead of embracing them Just the entirety of Switch Online's existence Never lowering the prices of their games even when those games near or surpass a decade in age. If you shill for Nintendo or say they are overhated, then you're part of the problem.
@ 1. You elaborate on this in further parts, this isn’t a separate reason 2. Listening to fans is everything tears of the kingdom was. And Nintendo music. And backwards compatibility on switch 2. They listen to their fans very regularly, why do you think I shill for Nintendo? I get everything I want from them. 3. First of all, they have every legal right to do this. Secondly, it loses them a ton of money to not do this, so they have no motivation to resist yet motivation to do it. 4. It’s some darn good value, you can subscribe to the thing for 20 years and it’s still better value than buying all of those games on virtual console, and you don’t have to subscribe to it at times you aren’t an active Nintendo fan. The base version is even better value, you can subscribe to it for your whole life without paying more for those games than virtual console. It also includes Nintendo music now, which is priceless. (By definition) 5. They don’t lower the prices on their games because they’re good games. Why should the price of the product go down when the product doesn’t get worse? There is no inherent rule telling them to lower the prices. Remember not to be shortsighted, lower prices don’t always benefit the consumer long term. If the corporation side spends the money in ways that benefit the consumer, (which Nintendo does, big surprise) it is actually worse for the consumer to pay less You’re better than the average Nintendo hater that just whines about how piracy is a good thing actually, but you’re still not good. Nintendo has few reasons to hate them more than other companies, I’m willing to bet you hate them because penguinz0 told you to
How brainwashed are you?😭 China is no were NEAR the best country on earth. How is this a good thing? THEY ARE TAKING AWAY A HUGE PART OF THE GAMING ON THE SWITCH. The online services ARE LITERALLY PAID

Next thing you know, Nintendo will get kicked out of China completely
Your here too?
I'm chinese and I want Nintendo 😢
I hope it is true 😂

From what I heard, the Chinese Nintendo Switch didn't have many games on the eShop, so this isn't a huge loss.
One of my favourite Nintendo channel now
Meanwhile customs and import companies: S T O N K S 📈💵

Y'know normally I want question as to why this is happening but right now all I really want to do is point and laugh at Nintendo.
All anyone ever seems to want to do, Nintendo is severely overhated
