Nintendo is officially launching the Switch in China, courtesy of Tencent. This is going to be quite a big deal when it kicks off, and Nintendo stands to make a lot of money in the region. Of course, that all depends on whether Nintendo and Tencent can make some noise outside the PC and mobile space.

In an interview with GamesBeat, Square-Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda shared his interest in seeing what happens with the Switch in China.

Also, it’s now been decided that Tencent will be handling the Nintendo Switch in China. This is the first time that Nintendo will be officially selling in China in a major way. They might have gone in through parallel imports in the past, but I’m very much interested to see whether Nintendo is going to have to make any changes around the Switch.
