Is this the strangest or rarest Nintendo console? The iQue Player is a video game console developed by Nintendo in 2003 in conjunction with Taiwanese-American entrepreneur and businessman Wei Yen under the company iQue. It was exclusively released in China and was the first official Nintendo console to be produced and released only for the Chinese market. It could be considered a Nintendo 64.

Wouldn’t be a history video without a summoning salt track….

[@RainBoomFIM]

I didnt know about this one, really nice video!

[@TheBarinade]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sydneyhitchins2329]

Haven’t been able to watch a livestream recently due to time constraints so it’s great to see these videos that I can watch when I can

[@eighty_bity2728]

good job! really enjoyed the small documentary about the ique, cant wait for the next upload! :D

[@honzaboy]

Great video. Very interesting and informative. Never even knew that existed 👍

[@ufokais]

This should have way more views well done barinade!

[@sergehanna2012]

I USED TO HAVE THE FKN FAMICOM KEYBOARD BOOTLEG WHEN I WAS YOUNGER OMG

[@peterhorak3602]

Great video 👍
I have no idea it existed 😅

[@elcofredemcclaw]

The name of the console is literally what Latin American/Spanish mothers said when their kids asked for the new Apple phone/tablet that fateful christmas day

[@RandomAzPosts]

This video is GREAT!

This doesn’t exactly explain just how the console is played. There isn’t a screen on the controller, so you can’t possibly play a game ON it like a DS. Do you hook it up to an N64 and play on the TV?

[@TheBarinade]

Good question, it hooks up directly to the TV!

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

@@TheBarinade So it’s a controller, not a console. You play N64 games *on* a TV *with* it, like you would a regular N64 controller, right?

[@Yellow_Pants]

@@fridaynightfunkinfan5627 It's basically a plug-and-play console with both the console hardware and controller all in one device.

[@fridaynightfunkinfan5627]

@@Yellow_Pants But it’s not like a DS, because it doesn’t have a screen on it for one to see what they’re playing.

[@Yellow_Pants]

@@fridaynightfunkinfan5627 Absolutely, it's still a home console. You just plug it into an outlet and a TV to play, no need to attach a controller since the console and controller are in the same shell. :)
