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