In the early 2000s, Chinese Nintendo subsidiary iQue released iQue Player, a modified Nintendo 64 console only available in China.

Unlike traditional Nintendo consoles, players had to purchase iQue Player games through iQue Depot machines which were sparsely located in China. Unfortunately, the console was a flop, since core gamers would rather buy a GameCube or PS2 instead of an iQue Player which only supported Nintendo 64 games.
