The only exception to the rule is Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (iQue 3DSXL/Nintendo Switch), where the original script was mostly preserved with minor adjustments.

*Metroid Prime's Shield port was unreleased, but its translations could be speculated through names in SSB Ultimate

Examples:

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (iQue Player/iQue 3DSXL)
Star Fox 64 (iQue Player/iQue 3DSXL)
Donkey Kong Country Returns (Nvidia Shield/Nintendo Switch)
Metroid Prime (Nvidia Shield*/Nintendo Switch)
Super Mario Galaxy (Nvidia Shield/Nintendo Switch)

The Chinese script for Super Mario Galaxy on the Switch is re-translated from the original (Japanese), and not ported from the Shield Version. It appears that Nintendo almost always have different Chinese scripts for the original and remake.

Kamek no longer tells Mario to "go to hell" in the Simplified Chinese script of the Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy 1+2.

The Switch translation is more literal to the Japanese script, where Kamek tells Mario to roll on the ground instead.
