Nintendo IQue Player. Released in China in 2003. Basically a suped up N64 as a controller.

While we're at it, how about the Panasonic Q? It's a Gamecube, but with a full-size DVD player instead of just MiniDVD-sized NOD (Nintendo Optical Discs. Yes, Nintendo made their own standard to not have to pay royalties to the DVD and later Blu-Ray consortiums) and also comes with a remote, but was too expensive to last (49990 Yen launch price)

I really wish they would have released this one worldwide and not just in Japan, as it looks really cool and is much more versatile.

Edit: Here's a western review of the console modded to be region free (DVDs) and Japan/NTSC (GameCube games)
