Other iQue systems based on the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS also released, though support for all systems were very limited due to the brand failing to catch on in its target market, and the systems never released outside of China. ''Super Smash Bros.'' released for the iQue Player in 2005, as it had already been translated into simplified Chinese. | ||
The controller itself is reminiscent of the [[GameCube controller]], as both were being created about the same time. The prongs were removed and more surface area was added, with the control stick being moved to the left side and the D-pad directly underneath. The Z button is also moved to underneath the L button and a unique power button is placed above the start button. The controller has an AV and USB port to plug into both a television set and computer, as well as an AC adapter port. The bottom of the controller contains a slot meant to hold memory cards that can hold data obtained from special kiosks that download games. A multitap device was also made so up to three additional controllers can be plugged in for multiplayer modes. | The controller itself is reminiscent of the [[GameCube controller]], as both were being created about the same time.
