iQue Player
Template:Sources Template:System The iQue Player is a Chinese-exclusive plug-and-play video game system, technically based on the Nintendo 64 console, that was released in 2003.
It was created as a joint venture between Nintendo and Dr. Wei Yin, founder of iQue Ltd., as a means to curb piracy in China. The console has a built-in controller that resembles a cross between the N64 and GameCube controllers. A central controller hub was available for purchase to facilitate multiplayer.
Games were purchased at a kiosk or from an online software store called iQue@home (which required a firmware update for the console that could 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, but was canceled. Exact reasons for the cancellation are unknown.
