You know theres another way to play "Retro Nintendo Games" other than the "Wii's Virtual Console", you can use the iQue Player made by Nintendo.

I thort some people on VC-Formus might be interested in this unpopular/under-rated console.

This is where you can read up some info about the iQue Player:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQue_Player (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IQue_Player)


This is where you can buy the iQue Player:

You couldn't buy one at play-asia for years...
I had the opportunity to pick one up in China this spring for €50 but I rather saved my cash for Japan. ^^

Hehheh, remember I came up with a IQue Player theory back last year when our N64 games were all ones that were on the Player. Here we are now, and we still done have some of the games. Doubt we ll ever see Animal Forest or Custom Robo unless Ninty translate them properly.

I think you can buy more for it, not sure.

No you can't, I looked it up.
Still any games that you can get for the iQue Player that are any good, you can get on the Virtual Console.

True, but we re still missing a few

Excitebike 64
Super Smash Bros (Probably due to Brawl, but I d like to think we d get it someday...)
Animal Forest (Very unlikely, unless Ninty do a translation job. Even then, ACWii would be out by then)
Dr Mario 64 (Wiiware game has probably made this unlikely)
Custom Robo (Japan has the sequel. Also would require a translation job, but unlikely)
