American. European. Japanese. Long ago, the three regions lived in harmony. But nothing changed when Hong Kong appeared because no one really knows about the history of Nintendo's system releases in Hong Kong, so let's rectify that!

ADDENDUM: I want to add in some new/revised info, partly courtesy of Twitter user @MegaManSec. Thank you! -Simon & Toys and Mani are the same company! It was a renaming that happened around September of 1990. -The rarest Hong Kong NES release was Mahjong, due to it not receiving an NES release anywhere else in the world. I knew about this before the video was published, but time constraints led me to leave it out. -Hong Kong Famicom releases were indeed a thing! The cartridges looked a little like this: pbs.twimg.com/media/EWf3s3KWoAI8ffi?format=jpg -The GameCube was officially released in Asia as an import of the Japanese version like the GBA! There are photos of Japanese GameCube boxes with Chinese stickers attached denoting that it uses the Japanese voltage standard and plays Japanese games. Further context for the folks who are watching this video for the first time in the future: This was originally uploaded on April Fools Day 2020, hence the intro bit. I don't know if I'll do any more Chinese stuff in the future though considering that's not my main demographic. :P

Thank you for making this video. I live in Taiwan and ever since the DS era, Taiwan just followed whatever Nintendo of HK decided to do. The only thing I would like to add is how Taiwanese and Hong Kong Wii region is like a mini sub-region of NTSC-J. All Japanese games work on Taiwanese consoles and all the different modification shenanigans like homebrew and letter bomb that worked on Japanese consoles works on the consoles too. However, the Taiwanese consoles have no access to the e-shop. And all games that use the Nintendo wifi connection would recognize the TW-HK-Macau consoles as a distinct region. Back in the good old days when I still used to play Mario Kart Wii competitively, Taiwanese consoles had its unique regional leaderboards. In online multiplayer, every region also had a different color indicator under the player name. For example, red for Japan, Blue for NA, Green for Europe, etc. The color for Taiwan, however, was White. Some people would even hack their Wiis so they would get the white border. I was one of the two only Taiwanese people in the community when I was playing the game, and many people thought I was using an iso to get the White border. (And therefore asking me how I got the iso, when I was in fact just using my Wii regularly.) But man I do miss HK and its game shops and arcades. I am studying in HK and this is supposed to be my last semester here, but I am not able to go back to HK due to "insert term here".The video definitely brings back good memories of exploring Mon Kok and Shum Shui Po's narrow and crowded game shops.

Personally I'd say the Tencent Switch is among the most unique thing in gaming history period. They actually fully acknowledge that many people would just import a foreign console (and in fact, foreign consoles are usually on par or even cheaper) and/or foreign games, and they thought, well, softcore gamers and non-gamers might want a console that has better warranty and online connection to just play those few games. Also, my personal theory is that half of the sales for the Hong Kong region Switch games were purchased by mainland gamers. The player base of Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan combined is probably still getting outnumbered by mainland gamers that would actually buy games.

I always find specifically Chinese/Hong Kong releases to be fascinating to me. I created a PSN account to access the Monster Hunter MMO released in Asia and thiught it was crazy, looking at the Hong Kong Vita PSN store. Seeing the same game twice on the store in different languages, sometimes gettin access to Japan-only titles the West never got in Japanese (a big enough deal seeing as you could only register one PSN with the Vita), just the random-ass selection of super-duper-niche titles you could get, it was like stepping into another place entirely.

Pokémon Sun and Moon and the Pokémon series getting official Chinese name and support was the important moment of Nintendo begin to push Chinese localization for its games, also the moment foreshadowing the later Switch era. And inside the whole story of Nintendo’s Chinese localization history, iQue played major role as well, even till today as they basically involved in every first party game for the localization.

My thoughts on your current intro: So when I first heard the Rhythm Heaven count-in, I was super hyped. But then it also played the usual half-audible start up, which broke the mood. I thought the count-in would replace that first part, instead of the equivalent of a bass drop leading to music at the same level as before.

Hong Kong's console and handheld gaming scene were pretty much all about imports and piracy from the 90's up until the 2010s when the firmware could actually by updated, which stopped a large portion of piracy. Also, online gaming became a thing. 5:20 我估超任PAL版應該係後期由歐洲版主機改過黎?睇番維基,歐版都比美版遲大半年先出,到後來有PAL機再攞佢地進口都唔出奇

In 2010 I bought what I thought was a "region exclusive" color DS Lite from Hong Kong on eBay. It was a matte black body with a glossy pastel pink lid- NOT the metallic pearl pink that everyone else had. The listing also said it would come with like 40 games. I don't remember what I paid but I remember thinking it had to be such a good deal for such a rare, unique variant and so many games. It was a reshell with an R4 card. But dangit, I love my weird looking DS. The touchscreen went bad so I had the internals swapped with that of a real DS so it works fine now. I keep it on display with my Pokémon merch collection, since I put a Pokémon Center sticker on the lid lol.

It came with a SuperVision cartridge of Kung Fu too
