iQue Ltd. was founded with a registered capital of $30m in December 2002 and established its headquarter in {{wp|Suzhou|Suzhou, China}} in May 2003.

On | On November 17, 2003, the highly-localized {{wp|iQue Player}} ({{hover|神游机|shén yóu jī}}), based on [[Nintendo 64]] but with anti-piracy mechanisms, was released. The iQue Player was unique that all the components were inside the controller and that it loaded games from a single, 64MB flash memory card with digital signatures instead of tradeable cartridges. Games for the console must be digitally purchased and written to the flash memory cards, at first through "iQue Depots" ({{hover|神游加油站|shén yóu jiā yóu zhàn, “iQue fuel station”}}) – interactive kiosks in big cities where the player could bring their flash memory cards and iQue Tickets ({{hover|神游票|shén yóu piào}}) to download, buy, store, retrieve games – and since October 2004 through an online service called iQue@Home ({{hover|神游在线|shén yóu zài xiàn, “iQue Online”}}), which provided the same services to players at home via client software and the Internet. There were also multiplayer accessories ({{hover|共游盒|gòng yóu hé, “together-gaming box”}} and {{hover|共游机|gòng yóu jī, “together-gaming console”}}) for family gaming. According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the design has to do with the low income, undeveloped logistics, and rampant piracy in mainland China.<ref>“为何在中国大陆推出这样一台特殊的主机、采用如此特殊的游戏销售方式?任天堂社长岩田聪给出了三个理由:收入水平低,物流不发达,盗版泛滥。” 大狗 (June 22, 2016).

The iQue Player did not become a commercial success as expected, having only sold 8,000 to 12,000 units instead of the 1,000,000-unit goal Wei Yen claimed internally. Nor had the promise that "hundreds of games will be launched soon", printed on the back side of the packaging box, been fulfilled due to low speed of government approval (although the released titles had been praised for good localization).<ref>First section of 大狗 (June 23, 2016).

On June 8, 2004, the iQue Game Boy Advance ({{hover|小神游|xiǎo shén yóu, literally “Mini iQue”}}<ref>Chinese nickname seen on the packing box: [http://games.sina.com.cn/newgames/2004/05/052622385.shtml 行货GBA“小神游”上市] (May 26, 2004). ''Sina Games''. Retrieved March 4, 2017.</ref>) was released. Unlike the iQue Player, it had no regional lockout or anti-piracy mechanism, featuring interoperability with Nintendo's version of the Game Boy Advance. Four months later, the similar iQue GBA SP was released, followed by several new designs and official contests.<ref>Aaron Kaluszka (January 14, 2007). [http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/12713/new-gba-sp-designs-released-in-china New GBA SP Designs Released in China]. ''Nintendo World Report''. Retrieved March 9, 2017.</ref> The iQue GBA series sold well, reaching 200,000 units in 2005. At the same time, there were efforts to develop edutainment software, but failed. A total of 8 games were released during the console's lifespan.<ref name=iQueGames/> | |||
On July 23, 2005, the iQue DS was released. It can load iQue DS, Nintendo DS as well as GBA games, but iQue DS games could not be played on the Nintendo DS, which was otherwise region free. The deluxe version sold via large markets had ''{{wp|Polarium}}'' and ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]''. The iQue DS Lite released in the June of 2006 followed by supporting flashcarts, and the DS series sold well, reaching 300,000+ units. Only 6 games were ever released.<ref name=iQueGames/> | |||
In 2007, iQue's version of [[Wii]] was approved and planned for sale in 2008, but later canceled. The iQue DSi was released in 2009. | |||
After the Nintendo takeover, iQue released the iQue 3DS XL in 2012, with two titles (''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') pre-installed. No other titles have been released by iQue since. However, titles from Nintendo Hong Kong and Nintendo Taiwan that featured a Simplified Chinese interface could be played on iQue 3DS XL, including ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'', and ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. | |||
iQue discontinued all services in mainland China in 2016, but remained doing Simplified Chinese localization for Nintendo Hong Kong. | |||
