iQue appears in the credits of Super Mario Galaxy on Nvidia Shield.
It seemed that the game was fully translated for the iQue Wii release before the console was cancelled.

Sun Apr 01 05:37:13 +0000 2018The Super Mario Bros. footage used in the iQue Player game lineup video seemed to be from the Classic NES versionof Super Mario Bros., rather than the NES original, as the footage is in 3:2 and the HUD is right at the top of the screen.

Interestingly, iQue did have plans to release Famicom Mini version of Super Mario Bros. before the plan was cancelled due to overwhelming GBA piracy.
I saw the information somewhere but I cannot find the source for it now.

Sun Apr 01 22:39:25 +0000 2018This article, titled "Shigeru Miyamoto's wife escaped from home due to intolerable domestic violence", was published approximately in late 2012 on UCG, a videogame magazine that is somewhat influential in China.
Importantly, this article was NOT intended as a April Fool joke.

It was unknown how much negative influence it had on Miyamoto himself or Nintendo in general, but judging from the influence of the magazine the effect might not be negligible.

If you search that in English you will find nothing close. Also I highly doubt if Mrs. Miyamoto ever said something like that. It might very possible be the "creative writing" of certain magazine editors.

Nvidia has advertised the Shield in China capable of playing classic games "from Wii and Nintendo GameCube". Mario Sunshine isn't officially out yet, but its trademark has been registered in China, along with the 4 released Wii/GC games.
Sun Apr 15 18:45:29 +0000 2018Many iQue Player game manuals are very similar to their American counterparts.
However, the device shown on the back cover is not the main console, but rather the "Multiplayer Box" (often mistranslated as Swim Box)
Sun Apr 15 18:48:59 +0000 2018When iQue was selling the iQue Player, the company was more ambitious than being just a Nintendo distributor, it wants to establish its own brand. So even though iQue Player games were just N64 titles, changes were made to promote iQue brand and remove Nintendo 64 reference.
Sun Apr 15 19:10:53 +0000 2018Replying to @chinesenintendo
Most notably, "Special Cup" was renamed "iQue Cup"; iQue can be seen on the track-side ads, and the "64" logo was removed in Luigi's circuit.
Not to mention games with "64" in their N64 version were all ripped of the number.
However, not all Nintendo 64 references were removed.

I personally have no clues about this. but there are people saying the Switch has a very similar structure to the Shield. I don't think Nintendo will give up the opportunity to release GCN/Wii classics on the Switch, but I think they might not arrive very quickly.

Keep in mind those games are not "re-releases" in China, but are initial releases. China never got the original Nintendo Wii.

None are confirmed for release yet, but I will say the former is more likely. The official Chinese name for Mario Sunshine was registered as a trademark roughly the same time as those of the currently released Wii games on Shield.

Tue Apr 24 18:46:34 +0000 2018Today (April 25, 2018), the first iQue Player ROM dump, Starfox 64, came out and is playable on an emulator.
14 years, 5 months, 9 days after the original release.
1 year, 3 months, 26 days after the game was no longer available for purchase.
Wed Apr 25 05:19:44 +0000 2018In 2006, iQue made a Chinese Traditional translation for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the iQue Player. Releasing this translation is very weird considering that the iQue Player was only officially released in China.
