Super Cassette Vision
The Super Cassette Vision was released in Japan in 1984. Epoch's original Cassette Vision had steady sales and took over 70% of the Japanese home console market at the time, with around 400,000 units sold. However, the introduction of next-generation systems from Nintendo, Casio and Sega quickly pushed back the original Cassette Vision, leading Epoch to quickly develop a successor.
The Super Cassette Vision was released in 1984 at a cost of ¥14,800 yen and featured an 8-bit processor for better performance, and a new graphics chip for much better graphics. The machine was also released in France by ITMC under the Yeno brand. At least 16 games were brought over from Japan for a European release.
The system did not take off, and was unable to match the massive popularity of the Nintendo Famicom, leading Epoch to drop out of the console market by 1987.
