First Nintendo IQue Reviews

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-a-crazy-toy dept.

Major Payne writes "I have found two reviews for the exclusively in china released Nintendo IQue Player which is capable of emulating Nintendo64 as well as SNES Games hardwarewise. English one is located over at Dextrose.com and is a bit more technically advanced than the German one. Both reviews are very detailed though and interesting to read. I also think those two are the world first reviews for this new hardware and there is also some interesting leads on how to hack the device to make it even more interesting to the rest of the world."

    Is it just me, or does that controller look bigger then an XBOX controller? I mean, I'd enjoy the portability, but I'd like to be able to, you know, move my HANDS after playing some Zelda for a few hours.

    The name is pronounced roughly like "Y que?", that's "So what?" in Spanish.

    Selling a product that doesn't look like a cheap piece of shit might entail some economic benfit to the seller.

    You're not supposed to look at it, you're supposed to hold it... So long as it's comfortable to hold in your hands, why do looks matter?

    That's not the first time I've heard THAT this weekend!

    I shouldn't worry... so far as I can tell Nintendo is only dying in the BSD sense so far. ;)

    From page 4 of the article:

    The Player, as stated before, is based on N64 Hardware and assembled on very small place using nano technology on a single chip.

    does this mean it can make new games out of materials it consumes?

    It probably looks nice to the Chinese. Nintendo has a good habit of developing different case designs for specific markets.

    How 'bout a red star?
