The '''iQue Player''' ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|aɪ|_|ˈ|k|j|u:}}, stylised as '''iQue ''PLAYER'''''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ique.com/products/M_Player.htm|title=iQue Ltd.|website=www.ique.com|access-date=2018-06-04}}</ref>) is a [[home video game console]] that was manufactured by [[iQue]], a [[joint venture]] between [[Nintendo]] and [[Taiwanese in America|Taiwanese-American]] scientist [[Wei Yen]] after China had made claims of banning video games. The system's [[Chinese language|Chinese]] name was '''''Shén Yóu Ji''''' (神游机), literally "Divine Gaming Machine". ''Shényóu'' (神游) serves a [[double entendre]] because the term also means "to make a mental journey". Although the console was never released in any English-speaking countries, the name "iQue Player" appears in the console's instruction manual. The console itself takes the form of the controller and plugs directly into the television. A box accessory is available that allows multiplayer gaming.<ref>[http://www.ique.com/machine_bb_gyh.htm iQue Ltd] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070705093324/http://www.ique.com/machine_bb_gyh.htm |date=2007-07-05 }}</ref> It was only released in [[mainland China]], as the console's unusual game distribution method is an attempt to curb game piracy in that region.

==History==
Games for the iQue Player are stored on a 64&nbsp;MB flash card which is contained within a cartridge that plugs directly into the controller/console. Games were purchased at a special "iQue depot", where games could be downloaded onto the cartridge and played later, in a similar manner to the [[Famicom Disk System]], [[Satellaview]], [[Nintendo 64DD]] and [[Nintendo DS Download Play]]. Games could also be downloaded by connecting the iQue to a PC. Time-limited demos that come with the iQue include ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. Full versions of the three titles are available, as are other first party Nintendo titles such as ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Wave Race 64]]'', and ''[[F-Zero X]]''.

China has a large [[black market]] for video games and usually only a few games officially make it to the Chinese market. Many Chinese gamers tend to purchase [[Copyright infringement|pirated]] cartridge or disc copies or download copied game files to play via [[console emulator|emulator]]. Nintendo wanted to curb software piracy in China, and bypass the ban that the Chinese government has implemented on home game consoles since 2000. Nintendo partnered with [[Wei Yen]], who had led past Nintendo product development such as the Nintendo 64 console and later the [[Wii Remote]]. Originally, the system would support games released on Nintendo consoles prior to the [[GameCube]], including the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], and Nintendo 64, but it was decided only to include Nintendo 64 games. Additionally, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' was planned and is shown on the back of the box, but was later cancelled.<ref name="youtube.com">Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/eGT7lRptA3c Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130214105616/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGT7lRptA3c Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGT7lRptA3c| title = Nintendo iQue Player - History and Hardware Overview | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>{{unreliablesource|date=February 2023}}

The iQue Player was announced at [[Tokyo Game Show]] 2003. It was originally planned to play [[Super NES]] in addition to Nintendo 64 games, and had a release date set for mid-October with debut markets including [[Shanghai]], [[Guangzhou]], and [[Chengdu]], expanding into the rest of China by the following spring.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031008164643/https://www.gamespot.com/gba/news/news_6075768.html/|url=https://www.gamespot.com/gba/news/news_6075768.html/|title=New Nintendo console for China|website=[[GameSpot]]|last=Calvert|first=Justin|date=September 25, 2003|access-date=March 15, 2023|archive-date=October 8, 2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2003/11/25/ique|title=iQue|website=[[IGN]]|date=November 25, 2003|access-date=March 15, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/news260903ique|title=Nintendo to launch new console in China|website=[[Eurogamer]]|date=September 26, 2003|access-date=March 15, 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://dengekionline.com/data/news/2003/9/26/bee3b1516c04c038daa23f9f1f7cdfca.html|title=【TGS】任天堂が中国向けに新ハード「神遊」を発売。ソフトはダウンロード方式！|trans-title=【TGS】 Nintendo launches new hardware "iQue" for China.

===Release===
⚫
The iQue Player was released on November 18, 2003<ref name="iquereleasedate"/> with few [[launch game]]s. Nintendo's strategy to market games in China was to show how video games can help improve children's mental and social development. However, the launch was not successful. The total estimated sales was between 8,000 and 12,000 units.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.chuapp.com/article/251110.html|title=《记录》第17期：神游中国（上） - 触乐|website=www.chuapp.com|language=en|access-date=2017-03-01}}</ref> At first, the only way to get games was via the iQue Depot, but in 2004, Nintendo released iQue@Home to download at home.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ique.com/products/Player_upgrade.htm|title=再次升级啦|website=iQue Ltd.|access-date=2022-02-10}}</ref> The last game, ''[[Animal Crossing (video game)|Animal Crossing]]'' (动物森林, ''Animal Forest'') was released in 2006.

=== Discontinuation===

On October 31, 2016, iQue reported that iQue@Home service would be discontinued by the end of December 2016.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ique.com/|script-title=zh:神游机服务终止通知|date=2016-10-31|website=iQue|language=zh|trans-title=Notice of Discontinuation|access-date=2016-11-01|quote=The company has decided to formally terminate the service in the end of December 2016 and hereby informing that iQue Depot stations providing the service will be terminated.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224034443/http://ique.com/|archive-date=2018-02-24|url-status=dead}}</ref> The service was gradually phased out until the content distribution servers went offline in 2018.

The iQue Player's library has 14 games, light conversions from past releases for the Nintendo 64 in Europe, North America, and Japan. One game was canceled, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]''<ref name="NS cites iQue Player's Majora's Mask">{{cite web | url=https://nintendosoup.com/chinas-ique-player-was-originally-supposed-to-get-zelda-majoras-mask/ | title=China's iQue Player Was Originally Supposed To Get Zelda: Majora's Mask | work=NintendoSoup | first=Gabriel | last=Lim | date=October 16, 2018| access-date=February 2, 2019}}</ref> and another, a Traditional Chinese version of ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', was completed but never announced.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.iquebrew.org/index.php?title=The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ocarina_of_Time_(Traditional_Chinese)|title=The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Traditional Chinese) - iQueBrew|website=www.iquebrew.org|access-date=2019-06-02}}</ref>
Once the player has turned on the system, the iQue logo will appear. Then, an image of a character from a game will appear alongside some options, selectable using the stick, such as "游戏" (games), "管理" (management), and in some cases "俱乐部" (club, referencing iQue Club), and it will say to press the A button to continue. Once the player has entered the games menu, the system lists the games and demos that the player owns and some info on each, such as size, name and status.

⚫
iQue Player games differ slightly from their Nintendo 64 counterparts, with the text and voices having been translated to Mandarin. The only exceptions are the ''Mario'' games and the previously Japan-only ''[[Sin and Punishment]]'', where the text has been translated but the voices remain in English. Many [[Video game glitch|glitches]] and errors from the original games have been fixed. Some features were removed due to the system's lack of support for Nintendo 64 controller accessories like the [[Rumble Pak]]. Some features were added, and many games that allow the player to enter their name now have the option to use their iQue Player's username.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} [[Speedruns]] of several games, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', are sometimes carried out on the iQue Player due to quicker loading times and faster scrolling text than the Nintendo 64 versions.<ref name="Gamerant Ocarina">{{cite web|url=https://gamerant.com/world-record-ocarina-of-time-speedrun-skater82297/|publisher=Gamerant|title=Gamer Sets New World Record for 'Ocarina of Time' Speedrun|last=Gates|first=Christopher|date=2015-05-09}}</ref>
Once the player has selected a game with the stick, they can press the A button to start it. A warning will appear, the "healthy gaming advice" screen required to be shown by Chinese law, followed by a screen with some more information about the game, such as its ISBN (if it has one). The first time a game is played after having been transferred to the console, a loading bar will also appear as the console 'recrypts' (i.e. applies a second layer of encryption using a randomly-generated key) the game.
⚫
Nintendo had plans to support network multiplayer in games that originally only support local multiplayer, which would work in a similar manner to that of an [[console emulator|emulator]].<ref name="IQue Fun Facts">{{cite web|author=IGN IGN|url=http://www.ign.com/wikis/nintendo-ique-player/IQue_Fun_Facts |title=IQue Fun Facts |website=[[IGN]] |date=2014-08-01}}</ref>{{unreliable source?|date=December 2017}}

If the player instead presses the Z button on the highlighted game, a menu will appear allowing the player to allocate memory pak files for the game, if this feature is required.
[[File:IQue Player settings menu.png|thumb|iQue Player settings menu]]
The console allows parents to set a limit on the usage of the console, similar to parental controls in modern consoles, in the management menu. The first item in the menu, "设置密码" (set password), can be used to enable a 4-digit code that must be entered correctly to access the menu. The second item, "设置时钟" (set time), is used to set the console's [[Real-time clock|RTC]] (this option only has an effect if the console's internal battery is not depleted). The third item, "设置游戏时间" (set gaming time), allows a parent to set a limit on the amount of time that can be spent playing games, selectable from values starting at 00:00 and increasing in 30-minute increments until 08:00, with one more option for 24:00 (essentially removing the limit). The final item, "密码过期时间" (password expiration date), allows a date to be set for the password and other settings to expire, allowing the console to be used normally.

On older firmware versions, the player can also start the iQue Club application from the main menu, which allows them to set a username, phone number, date of birth, gender and address.

==Online services==
The iQue Player has online services for buying games, cloud storage, game updates, etc. Currently, there is only one online service for the iQue Player, which is broadband based. In the past, some gas stations had a kiosk based service for accessing games.

===iQue Depot===
The iQue depot is a network of kiosks that allows users to download games, update games, and more. Each game comes with a game code that can be used so the user can download the game. Players can also store their games on the iQue Depot network for free. Users must be a member of the iQue Club and have a special iQue Ticket to download games.

===iQue@Home===
iQue@Home (神游在线, ''iQue Online'') was an online service that allowed users to get free access to trial software, update their system, purchase games and more, at home. To connect to the iQue@Home service, players connected the iQue Player to their computer via [[USB]]. Games were downloaded onto the computer, in a similar manner to an [[MP3 player]]. The user needed an "iQue Ticket", which was similar to a gift card and was used to purchase games. iQue@Home was only compatible with iQue Players that had been upgraded to one of the two most recent firmware versions. The drivers for the iQue Player only support [[32-bit]] versions of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], specifically Windows XP or older, and thus cannot run on [[64-bit computing|64-bit]] or non-Windows operating systems.<ref name="test"/>

==Accessories==
===iQue Card===
The iQue Card (神游卡) is bundled with the system. It is required to start the system and to load the games. The games, the console's operating system and the game saves, as well as various other system files, are stored on the iQue Card.

===Multiplayer Box===
The iQue Player Multiplayer Box (共游盒, "Swim Box") is a [[multitap]], and is required to play local multiplayer. The Multiplayer Box has four ports; one for the main iQue Player system, and three for Multiplayer Controllers. Due to this design, only one iQue Player system can be used, and the other players must use Multiplayer Controllers. When using the Multiplayer Box, the iQue Player system is Player 1.

===Multiplayer Controller===
The Multiplayer Controller (共游机, "Swim Controller") is used for local multiplayer. The Multiplayer Controller connects to the Multiplayer Box, and can't load games alone. Games have to be loaded on the iQue Player system. The controller was named such in Chinese, as it refers to swimming alongside fishes, and playing together.

China has a large [[black market]] for video games and usually only a few games officially make it to the Chinese market. Many Chinese gamers tend to purchase [[Copyright infringement|pirated]] cartridge or disc copies or download [[ROM image|ROMs]] and [[ISO image|ISOs]] to play via [[console emulator|emulator]]. Nintendo wanted to curb the software piracy in China, and bypass the ban that the Chinese government has implemented on home game consoles since 2000. Nintendo partnered with [[Wei Yen]], who helped Nintendo in other projects, and together they created a game system to get around China's black market, as well as [[loophole]] through the government's ban. {{Citation needed|date=July 2018}} Originally, the system would support games released on Nintendo consoles prior to the [[GameCube]], which include the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]] and Nintendo 64, but later in the system's development, it was decided only to include Nintendo 64 games. Additionally, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' was going to be included in the software library but it was later cancelled; however, the game's promotional picture is still on the back of the box.<ref name="youtube.com">Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211205/eGT7lRptA3c Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20130214105616/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGT7lRptA3c Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{cite web| url = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGT7lRptA3c| title = Nintendo iQue Player - History and Hardware Overview | website=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

===Differences===
⚫
iQue Player games differ slightly from their Nintendo 64 counterparts, with the text and voices having been translated to Chinese. The only exceptions are the ''Mario'' games and the previously Japan-only title ''[[Sin and Punishment]]'', where the text has been translated while the voices remain in English. Additionally, many [[Video game glitch|glitches]] and errors from the original games have been fixed. Some features were removed due to the system's lack of support for Nintendo 64 controller accessories like the [[Rumble Pak]]. Due to this, many games that originally supported the rumble feature no longer support it. Some features were added. Many games that allow the player to enter their name now have the option to use their iQue Player's username, which can be set at the iQue Player's main menu.{{citation needed|date=October 2015}} [[Speedruns]] of several games, such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[Star Fox 64]]'', are sometimes carried out on the iQue Player due to quicker loading times and faster scrolling text than the Nintendo 64 versions.<ref name="Gamerant Ocarina">{{cite web|url=http://gamerant.com/world-record-ocarina-of-time-speedrun-skater82297/|publisher=Gamerant|title=Gamer Sets New World Record for 'Ocarina of Time' Speedrun|last=Gates|first=Christopher|date=2015-05-09}}</ref>

The iQue Player (/ˌaɪ ˈkjuː/, stylised as iQue PLAYER[3]) is a handheld TV game version of the Nintendo 64 console that was manufactured by iQue, a joint venture between Nintendo and Taiwanese-American scientist Wei Yen after China had banned the sale of home video games. Its Chinese name is Shén Yóu Ji (神游机), literally "God Gaming Machine". Shényóu (神游) is a double entendre as "to make a mental journey". It was never released in any English-speaking countries, but the name "iQue Player" appears in the instruction manual. The console and its controller are one unit, plugging directly into the television. A box accessory allows multiplayer gaming.[4]

History

[edit]

Development

[edit]

China has a large black market for video games and usually only a few games officially make it to the Chinese market. Many Chinese gamers tend to purchase pirated cartridge or disc copies or download copied game files to play via emulator. Nintendo wanted to curb software piracy in China, and bypass the ban that the Chinese government has implemented on home game consoles since 2000. Nintendo partnered with Wei Yen, who had led past Nintendo product development such as the Nintendo 64 console and later the Wii Remote. Originally, the system would support games released on Nintendo consoles prior to the GameCube, including the NES, Super NES, and Nintendo 64, but it was decided only to include Nintendo 64 games. Additionally, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask was planned and is shown on the back of the box, but was later cancelled.[5][unreliable source?]

The iQue Player was announced at Tokyo Game Show 2003. It was originally planned to play Super NES in addition to Nintendo 64 games, and had a release date set for mid-October with debut markets including Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu, expanding into the rest of China by the following spring.[6][7][8][9] The system missed its mid-October launch.[10] By November 21, it was available for purchase at Lik Sang.[11]

Release

[edit]

The iQue Player was released on November 18, 2003[1] with few launch games. Nintendo's strategy to market games in China was to show how video games can help improve children's mental and social development. However, the launch was not successful. The total estimated sales was between 8,000 and 12,000 units.[12] At first, the only way to get games was via the iQue Depot, but in 2004, Nintendo released iQue@Home to download at home.[13] The last game, Animal Crossing (动物森林, Animal Forest) was released in 2006.

Discontinuation

[edit]

On October 31, 2016, iQue reported that iQue@Home service would be discontinued by the end of December 2016.[14] The service was gradually phased out until the content distribution servers went offline in 2018.

Technical details

[edit]

The iQue Player is a size-reduced Nintendo 64 console, using system-on-a-chip technology. It plays Nintendo 64 games specifically ported to the system.

  • Processor: MIPS R-4300i 64-bit CPU, 140.625 MHz
  • Memory: 16 MB DDR (8 MB available)
  • Graphics: 100,000 polygons/second, 2.09 million colors
  • Sound: ADPCM 64

Games

[edit]

The iQue Player's library has 14 games, light conversions from past releases for the Nintendo 64 in Europe, North America, and Japan. One game was canceled, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask[15] and another, a Traditional Chinese version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, was completed but never announced.[16]

iQue Player games differ slightly from their Nintendo 64 counterparts, with the text and voices having been translated to Mandarin. The only exceptions are the Mario games and the previously Japan-only Sin and Punishment, where the text has been translated but the voices remain in English. Many glitches and errors from the original games have been fixed. Some features were removed due to the system's lack of support for Nintendo 64 controller accessories like the Rumble Pak. Some features were added, and many games that allow the player to enter their name now have the option to use their iQue Player's username.[citation needed] Speedruns of several games, such as Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64, are sometimes carried out on the iQue Player due to quicker loading times and faster scrolling text than the Nintendo 64 versions.[17] Nintendo had plans to support network multiplayer in games that originally only support local multiplayer, which would work in a similar manner to that of an emulator.[18][unreliable source?]
