iQue Competition Held in China
« on: January 07, 2004, 06:47:40 PM »
A Chinese supermarket hosted a two-day event to help promote Nintendo's oddball game device.

Link: http://www.ique.com/game_home_news031123.htm (Chinese)


On November 22nd and 23rd, Nintendo held a launch event for its China-only gaming system, the iQue.  It was a competition featuring Mario Kart 64 and Wave Race 64, with the winners of each receiving some iQue gear, with the grand prize winner getting something special, a framed Shigeru Miyamoto autographed picture of Mario.

You can take a look at photos of the event over at Nintendo's iQue page.  All the text is in Chinese, you don't need to read a foreign language to look at pictures.

Yeah, but once you leave, how're you going to get games to play?

You will only have one $6 game inside your controller.  You can't buy extra Flash cards, so you will always have to delete the previous game on your card.( But you don't have to pay for games you already payed before)

in similar news ... China: PlayStation 2 Rolls Out in Two Cities
Quote
After a two-week delay and a diminished launch plan, the PlayStation 2 goes on sale.  Shanghai and Guangzhou are the lucky recipients of the first release of the PlayStation 2 console in China.

this could definitely hamper sales of the ique.  while the initial price of the ps2 is much greater than the ique, games will most likely be much cheaper due to piracy/counterfeiting.  i'd like to see some sales data in the future.

Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

Can't the flashcard hold multiple games AND store which ones you already own and allow you to redownload those?

Oh, I never relised I would have to re download a game every time. Mabye I wont get one then. No wait! your all just JEALOUS!
But if the Piracy grabs the PS2 and the price of games goes right down, then sony will pull out, they wont stick around to make a loss on console sales.

The Lik Sang version comes with five games on the flash card, dammit! That thing can store many games on the card until you have to free up space.
