RUMOR: Switch might see an official release in China, courtesy of Tencent

This is potentially HUGE news

For years now, investors and analysts have been asking Nintendo when they were going to make a move into China. If the latest round of details is to be believed, that move could happen this year.

A recent series of government documents has revealed that the Switch has been approved for release in China by the Department of Culture of Guangdong Province. Even more interesting, the documents show that Tencent will be the company handling the Switch's distribution.

This would be an absolutely huge move for Nintendo, and quite the unprecedented partnership. It's unlikely Nintendo or Tencent will comment on the matter until there's an official announcement, so we'll just have to hang tight and keep a watch for more documents.
