The games were licensed to NVIDIA by [[Nintendo]], presumed to be part of the deal for bringing the Shield TV's Tegra X1 SoC to [[Nintendo Switch emulators|Nintendo Switch]]. While there were plans to release the Wii in China through iQue (Nintendo's representative in the country), ultimately those fell through, so the Shield TV releases are the first time the region saw these games officially. The games were distributed by iQiyi, a Netflix-like Chinese service that replaced Google's services in the Chinese version of the Shield TV's Android firmware. | ||
