The iQue Player (Chinese: 神游机, romanized: Shén Yóu Jī, lit. 'God Gaming Machine') is a handheld TV game version of the Nintendo 64 console manufactured by iQue and released exclusively in China. It was developed as a joint venture between Nintendo and Wei Yen following China's ban on the sale of home video game consoles. The console and controller are a single unit that plugs directly into a television, with a multiplayer accessory sold separately.
The first part of its Chinese name, Shén Yóu, is a double entendre meaning "to make a mental journey."
