Template:Sources Template:System The iQue Player was a Chinese-exclusive system similar to the Nintendo 64 that was 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 was built into a controller that resembled a Dreamcast controller. Players could purchase a central hub that allows them to play multiplayer, however. Games were 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 was Template:OOT.

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