The iQue Player (pronounced "IQ", the system's name is also Nintendo iQue) is a video game console that is being manufactured by iQue, a joint venture between Nintendo and Chinese-American scientist Dr Wei Yen. The system also goes under the Chinese name of Shén Yóu Ji (神游机), literally "Divine Gaming Machine". Shényóu (神游) also serves a double entendre because the term also means "realistic experience". The console itself takes the form of the controller and plugs directly into the television. At the moment, it is only planned to be sold in parts of China (excluding Taiwan), mainly because of the rampant piracy issues there.^{[citation needed]} A desktop set accessory is available that allows multiplayer gaming.[1] iQue. ...
