Wed Jan 01 05:22:01 +0000 20202020 is the year of the Rat in Chinese zodiac.
The previous year of the Rat, 2008, was an unfortunate year in iQue's history: It was the first year since 2003 where not a single Nintendo game was released in China.
The ill-fated iQue Wii also failed under the console ban then.
Wed Jan 01 07:28:55 +0000 2020Replying to @chinesenintendo
Many iQue Wii projects, including Wii Play, Wii Sports, and Super Mario Galaxy, did not see daylight until they were repurposed into Traditional Chinese HK/TW Wii software in the years to come, or into Nvidia Shield ports nearly a decade later.

The HK cartridge situation is a bit complicated: Some releases have CHT cartridges but many others uses cartridges from other regions even for official HK/TW regions (like EUR, JPN, ASI).
This out-of-region situation even happens for Nintendo's releases (like MK8D and SMO).

Fri Jan 31 00:01:24 +0000 2020In July 2012, images of an OG iQue 3DS were leaked onto the internet.
