Something interesting to note about the iQue Player: they replaced the 4/8 MB of internal RDRAM, which the N64 used, with more standard, modern RAM by a different vendor. The N64's RAM was notoriously slow which is why the N64 had such laggy games that easily slowed down whenever any amount of visual effects happened. But due to this change in RAM type, the iQue runs WAY faster and with much better frame rate persistence. It runs so fast that in the Ocarina of Time tower collapse the sound actually desyncs!

I own 4 out of 5 of these! I think my fav is easily the IQue player. Such a neat piece of history. I also think this means that by a technicality, you could argue it is the highest quality plug-and play system. I think it's funny that the one I don't own is also the one you said was relatively easy to get (the shonen famicom mini). In fact I'd never even heard of it until this video. Hope to pick one up some day but it's not a high priority for me right now.

I've said this a million times before and I'll say it again here. The Panasonic Q is my favorite video game console of all time. It's a gamecube, with the most janky way to play DVDs they could possibly sell. It's sleek and futuristic, but also bold and show-y. It's also a gamecube, which is one of my favorite systems ever. I hate that it's so rare because while I'd love to own one, I wouldn't trust myself with it either. Such a cool console though.

@rorz999 Жыл бұрын

N64 controller is weirder than the GameCube one. Most unergonomic piece of shit ever

@Chaos89P Жыл бұрын

The GameCube controller just won't die out, either, currently due to a quirk/bug in how the Switch accepts USB controllers. Unfortunately, only a couple of games I know of are fully compatible with the GameCube controller; every other game that doesn't rely on the buttons under the sticks are better off using something that turns the L and R buttons into ZL and ZR respectively.

Our first Conversion Van or whatever those awesome yet giant vans were of the 90s, had an NES in it. BUT the car having terrible shocks in it made NES not super playable. Since it was also the original front loader one. THOUGH it was fun to play Mario 3 on that tiny TV in the back row and if you wanted entertainment, you had a tv in the middle row for VHS. That car was great.

Heh the only thing I have on this list is a Panasonic Q. My friend gave it to me when he got a complete in box one with the Gameboy Player. It is a royal pain to repair. We had to wait 2 years for someone to make replacement rails. And then when I put it back together the tray rubberband broke 😭. It's just a display piece nowadays but I do think it would be worth it to put a GC Loader or Pico boot in it to lessen wear on the tray.

Hi Drew, point out a few points related to the iQue here. Mr. Wei Yan, also known as Weiqun Yan (Chinese: 顏維群), helped Nintendo to develop N64 and Gamecube when he was in Scillion Graphics and ATi. Eventually, he created iQue to help Nintendo to expand the market in Mainland China. Most of the handheld console from Nintendo that was sold in China had the prefix "iQue" with them, with the first model being the Gameboy Advance, and the last production model being the new 3DS. iQue once planned to introduce the GameCube and the Wii in Mainland China as iQue box and iQue Wii but eventually scrapped, and there was no prototype that can be found anywhere. The iQue box (Chinese: 神游盒子) was meant to be an improved and diskless model of the Gamecube, where the players can purchase and download the game online or through the iQue Kiosk. And the iQue Wii was meant to be introduced as a "multimedia playback device" as how the Chinese PS2 edition was introduced to work around the ban on the sale and manufacture of game consoles announced around 2000 in Mainland China.

ive got three of these and can note from experience a few things, the visteon you can replace the controller with a sky gamepad, a satellite game streaming service from the uk, they are cheap and readily available, the only catch is that it has some modified behavior with the buttons and anything needing you to hold b in combination with another button wont work, but otherwise is a perfect replacement, the ique, not a handheld, it still needs an external screen and power supply and the panasonic, time isnt the factor that breaks the drive, its made of very brittle plastic and any small impact can shatter it

Almost everything for the gamecube works with the Panasonic Q, except the Gamecube Player, but only because of the different bottom pattern. But the Lan adapter, SD2SP2, the (special) Gameboy Player and, of course, GC loader work with the Panasonic Q, though I do believe you would lose the functionality of the DVD player if I'm not mistaken
