While you can already get your Donkey Kong Country Returns fix by playing it on the Nintendo Wii or 3DS, those in China get to experience the game in a way that no other region can: on the NVIDIA Shield. Running at 1080p and 60fps, this is the best performing and looking version of the game you can play, officially. Much like the 3DS port, there are no motion controls, and DKCR can be played entirely with a standard controller. If you want to know how the game plays on the Shield, you can check out some footage, which was uploaded to YouTube. This is the fourth Nintendo Wii title to come to the Shield, following Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Why the heck arent any of the chinese Nintendo games dumped yet? Twilight Princess, Mario Galaxy and now this!

Theyve already been dumped. You can install the apks but i think theres a problem with they cant be verified by nvidea servers to let you actually load them

 

[MushGuy]

That im not sure. The one i use was for usa launch version

OK, I tried it now with a little modification in the button mapping (Y now for run, R for rolling), and I can confirm that it works.

You can flash a Chinese image and go from there. I've never done it, but it's not like it's hard to access the shields bootloader.

Yeah, screw China. I would rather not support shitty hardware made by child slave labor that breaks every two years, but I guess because someone is now standing up to them and console prices might increase that it's cool to support child slavery and general horrible working conditions and shiity hardware.

So I should move to China?

Oh, I couldnt find them anywhere last time I checked. Guess I didn’t look close enough!
So they won’t run at all? Even when sideloaded?

Nope. They have a license verification check with either some server at Nvidia or some Chinese service and nobody has managed to bypass it. You can install them, but can't run them at all.

Dunno why they're so hard to get around, seems the only way to play them is to flash the Chinese firmware, use a VPN to access the store, and buy them.

Yeah i had to mod the buttons also so its more like snes dkc

You did happen to read the text "I rather not". Did you get that confused with "I don't" or "I refuse to"? Also, the high hardware failure rate of the Nintendo Switch is another good example of why we shouldn't be investing in products "Made in China"

I'm interested in seeing what comes of this from reverse-engineering and datamining the .apk file.

It'll pretty much be the same thing as all the other ones: it's emulated, uses upscaled textures, and probably has a custom controller layout to work without motion controls and on the Shield controller. Not much more to tell that we don't already know.

I know, but if it's Emulation, we could possibly inject different games

Shame that they do this for China only market...

 

[Disco]

I have Shield TV(BTW it' AWESOME for emulation), and would love to play this...but I don't want chinese fw

 

[WiiJeys2DS]

Itll be intresting to see what other wii games they release to the shield. They probably wont do mario kart wii would they?
