Anyone heard of something that Nintendo might be releasing that plays n64 games? Does it work by fixing onto the GameCube? Does it even exist?

In china it would be...

Consoles just simply aren't released their due to piracy but there is the potential to make SO much money... such a large market. Sony constantly pull out of releasing their system there so Nintendo made the Ique... a system that plays pretty recent titles from the N64 era... unpiratable and cheap too.

I've never come across pirated N64 games to be honest.

But there's propably loads around asia. I do have some pirate GBC games, basically just compilations of retro stuff, nothing commercial.

I don't see the point in making the iQue at all. I would rather just go buy an N64. But even though it has been made to stop illegal game making, I wasn't aware that there were games like that on any nintendo console. I know of the 'chipped' games on the playstation and playstation2 but nintendo games?? Does anyone know if nintendo games not the pc games but the proper nintendo colnsoles have actually been mass produced by fake games of the normal versions???

You're right - Flash cards that you download games onto via stations, likely to be in game stores etc.

Would be pretty useless to import one then, unless the downloads would be made available online - but then that's piracy and you'd need a special card reader to accept the iQue cards.

They already have, but it was a quiet launch.

Sounds good but I think you need to download the games from special ports in China.

I already own one n64 but when I heard about the IQue device I thought I might as well get one incase my n64 breaks down in the future. I'm not keen on second-hand stuff so the IQue would be like a brand-new n64.
