The iQue Player is a Chinese exclusive system released in 2003. It was created as a joint venture between Nintendo and Dr. Wei Yin as a means to curb piracy in China. The console is built into a controller that resembles a Dreamcast controller. Players can purchase a central hub that allows them to play multiplayer, however. Games are purchased at a kiosk or from an online software called iQue@home (which requires a firmware update for the console that can only be found in the kiosks) and downloaded to a 64 MB cartridge that plugs into the controller. The system only had fourteen games available, one of which is Template:OOT.

Majora's Mask was also slated for release on the iQue. However, the game's dark undertones and imagery were deemed to violated Chinese laws. The Chinese government stopped the game's distribution.
