Wow, that's pretty cool. I wonder what the Chinese gaming scene is like.

So this basically means Nintendo is going to make HD ports of the best Wii games... I approve of that.

Nintendo probably did a quick emulator.... its not really HD ports, its probably just old Wii games that run at higher resolutions, like what a PC emulator does.

If it can run on a shield, it can probably also run on the Switch too.

Its time for nintendo to put these titles in its nintendo virtual console.

There are plenty of quick ports, but emulators are anything but "quick".

I think you are overcomplicating things here: why would they, even if the effort required wasn't much more extensive? Port it to the Tegra and you automatically have a game adapted to run on both the Shield and the Switch. No point on doing it twice.

They both use the Tegra X1, I assume this new Chinese SKU uses the same.

The Switch chip is underclocked like you mention.

An assumption isn't good enough in my opinion.

Shield's have stayed with the X1, I think mainly due to the Switch, although someone here said it was due to overstock.

It would be strange for NVidia to change the chip of the device just for the Chinese market. It is not out of the ordinary, since companies like Samsung do sell higher spec phones in Asia.

Update 3: Wii / GameCube games for NVIDIA Shield in China are running natively after all

An NVIDIA rep has stepped forward, saying that this “has been talked about internally.” The Nintendo titles “are running natively, are remastered, and look great.”
