Tencent has been granted permission by the Chinese authorities to distribute the Nintendo Switch in China, with Nintendo's Shuntaro Furukawa confirming that "a collaboration with Tencent to
launch Nintendo Switch in China is in progress".
Speaking to investors, he said that Nintendo wants to maximise its business in China, but "since the launch timing is undetermined, we have not factored this business into our financial forecasts for this new fiscal year."
After that, during the Q&A Session, Furukawa was asked about Nintendo mobile games and the Chinese market. According to the analyst David Gibson, Nintendo's President refused to answer and added that it will say more after discussions with Tencent. Dr Mario and Mario Kart Tour are coming to Android and iOS in the summer, along with already released games such as Fire Emblem Heroes, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, Super Mario Run and Dragalia Lost.
