Nintendo's iQue Detailed, Pictured

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday November 12, 2003 @04:05AM from the controller-looks-a-little-fugly? dept.

Rocco writes "Over at LikSang.com, they have new pictures and details on Nintendo's iQue, the Chinese-specific controller-style console that plugs directly into the TV, plays N64 games, and comes with a 64 megabyte Flash Memory Card to store them. Included in the hardware bundle are 5 games, while only Doctor Mario is a full version. Zelda 64: Ocarina of Time (10 hours), Mario 64 (7 hours), Wave Race (1 hour) and Starfox (1 hour) are time limited demo versions. Allegedly, the OS of the iQue can also be updated when you 'refill' your flash cartridge, currently only at 'Nintendo partners throughout Shanghai', but rumored to be possible online in the future." We previously featured the unveiling of the iQue a couple of months ago.

Has anyone thought at all about the pronounciation of iQue? To my mind, it seems to compute to about `ick'. Some marketing guy was sleeping on that one...

(que != cue && que != queue)

Whatever.

  I'd say pronounce it like Manuel would have done: I... Que?
