The iQue was a refined Nintendo 64 released in China during the early 2000s. This system was a much smaller N64 packing the entire system into a controller the sized of an original Xbox controller. The system itself was fairly impressive even coming out a bit faster than the original N64 console showing that Nintendo has created what is essentially a Nintendo 64 Mini in the past.

Honestly, while I'm not a crazy "got get everything" sort of game collector, this is one of those oddball things I've always wanted. It's also amazing to me that they got the N64 to be a system on a chip in 2003!

@erhanq.3070 3 года назад

Yes, that "SoC" means system-on-chip in that line. Also, this was released before the console-ban in China (there was official PlayStation 2 in China as well). iQue (the company) was able to release DS and 3DS in China during the console ban for some reason though, but they are just modified DS/3DS systems, not like iQue. There were multiple accessories released for iQue as well, one of being the "controller-only" version of this controller-console hybrid designed for local multiplayer, and a box for four -player multiplayer capability.

@HKgaming86 3 года назад

I thought the iQue existed because of the console ban, and that the fact that the whole system existed within the controller circumvented said ban, as it would be classified as a portable rather than a home console

@HKgaming86 3 года назад

and also the iQue was released after the ban in 2003 (the ban started in 2000). Sony on the other hand tried to position the ps2 as a "computer entertainment system" and planned to release the ps2 in 2003, China quickly responded by banning sales and advertising. Eventually in 2004 the ps2 did see a release in china however only 10 games ever got released during it's lifespan. The history of video games in China is indeed very interesting. South Korea also has a pretty interesting ban on Japanese game consoles where Samsung & Hyundai would release versions of Sega & Nintendo consoles.

Hey spawn, just wanted to note: you talked about "hoping someone hacked it" and I just wanted to say, it was hacked back in 2018 :) You can load normal n64 games on it, with some caveats (either games need patches or you need to use my OS hack which makes most games run just fine). Some games have other issues (OoT doesn't boot because it has issues with how it checks memory, for example)

When he said majora's mask was cancelled I thought I was having a Mandela effect moment and had to look the game up to make sure

I have this in the original packaging as well

I have one. Was hard to use getting games, so never got into it. Used an old laptop adapter for mine. And mine got warm... could’ve been the adapter I guess, but others had the same thing happen.

Video starts: Oooh a mini N64. What late edition release could this be? **SpawnWave holds up the iQue.** Oh well. I'll watch anyway just because I like the dude.

Was there only online multiplayer and no local? Or would you use the small usb port to link controllers?

that was Pretty Rare Smallest N64 I've never seen that before

With all the N64 hardware documentation being found in the iQue leak, proving that Nintendo still has all schematics and whatnot to make another, modern N64 SoC, the chances are pretty high that they'd do it for an N64 Mini. It certainly would help for power usage since the SoC alone should only draw a couple of watts, if not less than a Watt. =P

I wish a way to upload roms to this thing would be found. It'd be great :)

Nice and compact, easy to hide behind the TV when Red Guards come knocking on your door.

I am surprised it wasn't hacked yet, but I guess that is only because not many people have one or know about it. I certainly haven't heard of it until now. I am sure it is definitely hackable to run all the games, or most.
