Tencent has been granted permission to distribute Nintendo Switch by the Guangdong province of China.
Before now, Nintendo's popular hybrid console was not officially available in China, but thanks to a decision by the provincial authority of Guangdong, that is about to change.
According to Reurters, a statement on the government website of Guangdong indicates that the Nintendo Switch with a "test version" of New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe can be distributed by Tencent Holdings.
A representative from Nintendo confirmed that Tencent had applied for permission in Guangdong to start selling the hardware. However, it is not clear whether further approval from the central Chinese government will also be necessary.
