| − | | |
| − | The '''iQue Player''' is a game console released by [[iQue]] in 2003 and partially developed by [[BroadOn]]. It was built from the ground up to circumvent China's ban on home video game consoles by being presented as an educational device and integrating the controller and console into an all-in-one unit. It uses an ASIC which replicates the CPU and RCP of the Nintendo 64 while adding new features such as USB support and a 64MB NAND. | |
