In terms of games:

The Bank of China can play the Bank of China cassette and the downloaded game, and can also play the foreign service cassette game. The foreign service cassette can also be updated when the Bank of China is running, such as the fitness ring adventure and the animal friends' meeting.

At present, most games with Chinese versions are pure stand-alone games. Personally, the only online games worth playing are Mario Kart 8 (the existing version of the Bank of China), Jet Warrior 2 (without Chinese), Mario Made 2 (which requires a certain level of technology and creation) and Nintendo All-Star Battle (which is very rich in stand-alone content).

As well as the kohlrabi business of the Friends of the Animal Forest Association and some friends who visit the island (the Bank of China and the foreign service machine can be connected face to face), so the machines of the Bank of China can basically reach 80% of the game experience of the foreign service machine.

Extended content:

The foreign service cassette on the machine of the Bank of China can be updated, but DLC (the content of the game information piece to be purchased) cannot be downloaded, and the impact is not so great. There are not many games with DLC, most of which are just clothing accessories. (At this stage, I personally think that only Jet Warrior 2DLC, Zelda DLC and Blade 2DLC are worth buying.

Blade 2DLC can still be purchased separately, and Jet Warrior 2 itself will not be considered in China. The only loss is the game content of Zelda DLC for about 8 hours, but the game content of Zelda itself is very complete, and playing 200h+ may not be experienced, let alone the extra DLC).

In terms of online stores:

Bank of China can only log in to the online store of national service, and can only buy several games launched by national service, which can be paid by WeChat. Foreign service machines can log in to online stores in other countries and regions (called eshop, different regions use the language of the corresponding region, except for Hong Kong service, which has no Chinese).

To use Nintendo's online store, you need to register a Nintendo account, and prepare a visa credit card or buy a local card (credit card rules are different in different regions). The main function of the online store is to buy digital games (most excellent digital games have cassette versions) and DLC.

Because the prices on different servers are different, there are some preferential policies similar to "arbitrary loss coupons". Generally speaking, you can save a little money on some specific games, but you must know the rules of online stores and languages in each partition in detail. In addition, online stores, like the online battle section below, need accelerators in many cases.

Online combat:

Bank of China has listed No.8 car, which can be directly and stably connected. Some time ago, the official also organized a large-scale online activity in Car 8. It is expected that the games that have been listed in the Bank of China in the future can be played online stably without tossing the accelerator. Networked servers need to buy Nintendo members (about 0/50 yuan per year/kloc). If many people buy "family", about 270 yuan can bring 8 people.

However, we must pay attention to the fact that these people must be familiar with each other. Once one of them cheats or buys a game from an unknown source, they will even sit in someone else's seat, and everyone's machines will be banned from networking. If you need a stable connection to the Internet, you need to buy an accelerator (about 100 yuan to connect the router, and then you need to set certain parameters on the computer, and the annual membership fee will be more than 100 yuan.

The cost of the first year is probably around 300 yuan). By the way, there is no need to buy members for the networking of China Bank now, and it is totally free.

Price:?

At present, the number of foreign servers is still around 3000, and some parallel importers have begun to take risks to make refurbished machines, which need to be carefully screened. If you need to buy, it is strongly recommended to buy a new endurance plane at this stage, and search the reputation of the merchants before buying.

In contrast, the price of the Bank of China was stable in the early 2000s (June 2020). At this stage, it is recommended to identify the official flagship store, and there may be refurbished machines in unofficial channels. The Bank of China has an official event on 6 18, so it is more cost-effective to match various preferential packages visually. There is no need for unofficial greed, and it is easy to suffer.

Warranty:

China Bank has an official warranty, so it is impossible to send the foreign service machine to the official service (unless you can send it back to the local area). Unofficially, it may be replaced (personally, the service life of the switch is about 1 year, and my machine has been repaired three times in four years, with a high incidence). So if it's a minor problem in the foreign edition, someone with strong hands-on ability can fix it himself.
