A Brief History of Chinese Game Consoles
中国游戏主机简史
China and video games have a long and ridiculous history, but in the age of the internet, it's a story that's yet to be completely put together. And so, here at Kotaku, we will try to make sense of the history of consoles in China. Stay awhile, and read?
中国，还有电子游戏有着漫长而荒诞的历史，但在如今这个网络时代，这两者的故事还没有被完全的结合起来。所以现在在小宅网，我们试着来理清一下中国游戏主机的历史。大家能不能花一些时间来看看？
One of the earliest game consoles to make it into the middle kingdom was the Nintendo Entertainment System or the Famicom. Of course at this time, in the eighties, legitimate systems were incredibly expensive. This isn't to say that other consoles weren't available in China early on, but in terms of mainstream systems, the first one came from Nintendo.
最早进入天朝的游戏主机是任天堂娱乐系统，也可简称为FC。毫无疑问，在80年代时，一台正版的游戏机价格贵的惊人。这并不是说在当时其他游戏主机不能进入中国市场，但是作为一台主流游戏机，第一个进入中国市场的是任天堂。
Launched in 1987 during the era of the Famicom, the Subar Little Tyrant was one of the most famous and and well-known Famicom knock-offs of its time.
1987年正值FC流行的年代，中国推出了小霸王学习机，这是一台在当时非常著名的山寨任天堂FC的游戏机。
Famicom clones, Super Famicom clones, and Sega Genesis clones were the consoles of choice in China, and to some extent, Taiwan and Hong Kong, because of the relative cheapness of the systems. Cartridges were cloned or bootlegged for these cloned systems and even the original official systems. Oftentimes, the games would be mega packs, like a greatest hits compilation of, say, 16 best sellers on one cartridge.
山寨的FC，山寨的SFC，山寨的世嘉MD，都是当时在中国大陆购买主机时的选择，在某种程度上说，也是香港和台湾购买主机的选择，因为这些山寨机有相对便宜的价格。游戏卡是复制出来的，或者是为这些山寨游戏机甚至是正版游戏机非法生产出来的。一般来说，游戏会被集中打包出售，就像一个精选集那样，比如，16个畅销游戏合一的游戏卡带。
It wasn't until 2000 and 2001 that the console ban started rolling in and the sphere of Chinese console gaming changed. Chinese companies still wanted to make video game consoles, and the bootleggers continued making clones—the only difference was in the marketing.
情况一直持续到2000年，2001年中国颁布了游戏主机禁令，从此中国游戏主机的规则就被改变了。中国的公司企业依然渴望制造游戏主机，而那些非法生产商还在继续着山寨之路，唯一不同的是，市场改变了。
In 2003, Nintendo and its Chinese partners created iQue and launched the first iQue plug and play systems, which were based off the then new Nintendo 64. While the rest of the world was already on the GameCube, China had the iQue. Yes, yes, the iQue is basically a Nintendo console, but it was made and produced by a Chinese company. These iQue systems would virtually all plug and play machines until the iQue DS came out. Being that the iQue DS being a regular DS with Chinese region settings, it doesn't make this list.
2003年，任天堂公司和其中国合作方创立了神游公司，并且推出了第一款即插即用的神游游戏机，这款游戏机基于当时已经过时的N64主机。当其他国家早已玩上了NGC的时候，中国只有神游。。没错，神游游戏机是基于任天堂主机开发的，但是它是一家中国公司制造生产出来的。这台神游主机几乎完全是一台即插即用设备，直到神游DS的面世。由于神游DS只是一台设定在中国区域发售的普通DS，所以它并不在此名单里。
At the same time, AtGames came out with their Sega Mega Drive (Genesis to us US folks) clone. AtGames is still around today, making consoles and portable devices, much like how Subor is still in business.
When the seventh generation of consoles came about, the Wii was all the rage. The most famous of Wii clones at this time was the Vii. Keep in mind that consoles were banned in China at this time.
在同一时期，爱胜游戏公司推出了他们的世嘉MD山寨机。爱胜游戏现在依然在运营着，制造游戏主机和掌上设备，和现在的小霸王非常类似。
在第七代游戏主机推出后，Wii游戏机成为了主流。当时最知名的山寨Wii是中国的Vii游戏机。请记住，当时Wii是不能在中国销售的。
The Vii, also known by its official name, the Sport Vii, was released in 2007 as a cheaper (read: knock-off) and well... not as good version of the Nintendo Wii. The console, also a plug and play machine, was sold at half the price of the Wii. Since video game consoles were technically banned at this time, the Vii was marketed as an exercise machine. The trend of "labelling" consoles as other things would continue all the way to the eedoo CT-510.
Vii威力棒游戏机还有一个官方英文名，那就是"运动Vii"，这款游戏机在2007年发布，比正版更加的便宜和好玩。。。外观可没有任天堂的Wii那么好。这款游戏机也是一款即插即用设备，售价也只有Wii的一半。因为在当时，游戏主机在技术上来讲是被禁售的，所以这款威力棒被定位成一款健身器械。这种重新"包装"游戏机的趋势也继续传承在绿动ct-510游戏机上。
It wasn't until 2011 that a legitimate Chinese game console would come to light. In 2011, concrete details about the Lenovo-backed eedoo console, known then as the iSec, appeared in China. It would take another year before the eedoo CT-510 would see the light of day. Marketed as a multimedia device, the CT-510 would release to a ridiculous price of about $600.
直到2011年，对于中国游戏主机的禁锢终于减轻了一点，2011年，联想子公司绿动将在中国推出游戏主机的具体细节被曝光，后来这台主机被命名为isec。大家又等待了一年，绿动的ct-510才终于面世。它被市场定位为一台多媒体设备，然后这台主机公布了一个荒唐的价格，600美元，人民币售价3799元。
Now this is where things start getting heated. After 10 plus years of restricting consoles in China, the console ban has been lifted. With the ban lifted, domestic companies have been quite verbal about launching their own hardware for the Chinese market. Some have been so vocal that they've even gone and debuted a product.
现在在中国关于游戏主机的事情让人激动起来了。中国经过十多年对游戏主机的禁锢，游戏主机的禁令终于被取消了。随着禁令的逝去，中国的国内企业很快就表明了会推出针对国内市场的游戏主机。有些公司高调宣传他们已经开始开发甚至是展示了产品。
As of January, there are now two new Chinese consoles looking to hit the market, one from Chinese mobile phone and communications giant Huawei, and another from TV maker TCL. It's unknown when exactly these puppies will be released.
比如在今年1月份，两台中国的游戏主机正在谋求进入市场，一台是中国的手机和通讯业巨头华为公司的，另一台则是电视制造商TCL推出的。现在还不知道这些可爱产品的发布时间。

For as fearsome and formidable as the Chinese tech economy is supposed to be, I still haven't seen them invent anything significant in my lifetime. They have abundant cheap labor and essentially no copyright or patent protections...but there doesn't seem to be much if any creativity.
中国应该有着可怕和强大的科技和经济实力，但是在我的有生之年里，还没有看到一样中国人的重大发明。
中国有着大量的廉价劳工，并且在本质上来说，也没有版权意识或者是专利保护……但是他们似乎也没什么创造力。

Why be creative when you can steal/copy everyone else?
当你可以去窃取和山寨别人的时候，为什么还需要去创新呢？

Except the Wii is completely blocked legally from entering China. Anything that is sold is unofficially on the black market; whether the local authorities choose to ignore it not, they aren't legal.
iQue was brought into the land through a Chinese joined venture with Nintendo. It's not quite the same as Nintendo America, which is a Whole Foreigned Own Enterprise.
除了wii不能合法进入中国市场以外，中国的游戏市场交易都是非官方的，在黑市交易的。不管中国当局是不是有意忽视了游戏市场交易，反正这就是非法的。
神游可以进入中国，是因为任天堂和中国人合资创办了企业。这和任天堂美国分公司不太一样，美国分公司可是外资独资的。
Eric JouUkoto29921L
iQue is a separate company. Though it is often called the Nintendo of China since it's a Nintendo JV. It deals mostly almost solely in Nintendo hardware and products.
You are correct that Nintendo is the only legit console maker in China, via iQue.
神游是一家独立公司。尽管它经常被人叫做任天堂中国公司，因为它是任天堂的合资企业。这家公司的绝大部分业务是关于任天堂的硬件和产品的。
你说的对，任天堂是中国唯一合法的主机制造商，但是是通过神游公司的。

They sell this here in America too!
Anyway, video game consoles might do well enough in China, even if a majority of the young population is entrenched in PC and cell phone gaming. It might be harder to get the same numbers relative to the size of the population, but consoles should do fine as a "niche" market.
他们也在美国卖这些玩意！
总之，游戏主机市场应该在中国做的更好，即使大部分中国年轻人都根深蒂固的喜欢玩pc游戏和手机游戏。主机市场可能很难达到和中国人口相应的规模，但是主机在中国至少应该要做成一个小众市场。

I dont think, that officialy released consoles will be succesfull in china. Nowdays you can get any consoles you want in china without leaving the house through the internet (Taobao). There are also tons of electronic stores, where you can buy gaming consoles and games. One of the biggest issue with officialy will be the censoreship. I guess more than 80 percent of the current games(COD,BF,GTA...) wont be released in china due to violence and sexual content(and forget all the social features ). There is no need to buy a gaming console that can do less and will probably cost more.
我不认为官方推出的游戏主机会在中国成功。现如今在中国足不出户就可以在淘宝上买到任何主机。中国还有巨量的电玩商店，你可以在那里买到游戏主机和游戏光盘。主机制造商们最大的问题就是应对中国的审查制度。我估计现在80%的游戏都不能在中国发布，比如使命召唤，战地和侠盗猎车等，因为这些游戏里都有暴力和色情内容。没必要买一台被和谐过的主机，而且这台主机可能价格会更高。

The N64 seems to be the only console in history that had a better controller in China than it did anywhere else. With the exception of having the D-Pad and the Stick in each other's places, this controller looks far, far more manageable than the triad of confusion that was the original controller.
中国版的N64手柄似乎比其他国家的都要好啊，这是历史上唯一的一次。方向键和摇杆的位置合理，这个手柄看起来比原来那个三位一体的手柄设计的合理多了。

As a side note, although china "banned" consoles for nearly 10 years, people can still buy them without any problem at all, and the price was roughly the same, so those who wanted a proper console can get one just like anywhere else. Those plastic knockoffs are for people who knows nothing about gamings.
I remember wanting a PS2 so bad, but I did get a couple of gameboys.
提示一下，尽管中国"禁售"了游戏主机十几年，中国人依然可以方便的买到游戏主机，价格和国外也大致一样，所以那些想买一台正版游戏机的中国人可以像其他国家的人一样买到一台。而那些山寨的塑料盒是卖给那些对游戏一无所知的中国人的。

China: good at stealing other people's innovation: software, nuclear technology, industrial plant designs. . . not so good at actually innovating themselves.
I guess in a place where doing something as simple as reading The New York Times is illegal, it is hard to be on the bleeding edge.
中国善于窃取别人的发明，例如软件，核技术，工业设计。。。而不善于自己实实在在的创新发明点什么。
我猜在某个地方连看看《纽约时报》都是违法的，那里很难领先世界科技。

These chinese consoles flooded the African market when I was a kid. When I finally came into contact with a proper Megadrive I managed to deduce we were playing mostly knockoff consoles in Kenya.
Now they are not as prevalent as they once were. I didn't even know they were still making knockoffs up to the 7th gen consoles. If you look hard enough you might get the 90s console knockoffs but nothing else.
在我小的时候，文中那些中国主机充斥着非洲市场。当我玩过一台正版的MD游戏机后，我才知道我以前在肯尼亚玩的都是山寨游戏机。
现在在商场上看不到那么多山寨游戏机了。我不知道中国竟然还山寨了第七代游戏主机。如果你仔细找找，可能还能找到90年代的山寨主机，但是没有别的主机。

Badly written article. Seems more like a very small slice on console history in china.
This is a high school level paper whereas college level is appropriate.
Sometimes writing a great article also works.
文章写得不好。似乎只是描述了中国游戏主机历史的一个小小侧面。
这顶多是高中生水平的文章，说是大学生写的都抬举你了。
有时候写一篇好文章也是需要工夫的。

Jackie Chan? Now thats an endorsement.
是成龙吗？只是一个代言吧。

Those are toy products, not gaming consoles.
这些只是玩具，不是游戏主机……
