This time on Did You Know Gaming extra, we take a look at the China video game ban and how it's politics affected big companies like Nintendo and Sega. The bane forced Nintendo to release a new device called the iQue, which played Nintendo 64 (N64) games such as Super Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of time. Nintendo also later brought Wii titles to the Nvidia Shield in China, and Sega brought Sonic's PC games ports to China as well. Then we finish off with a look at 2017’s Friday the 13th game.
