10 Failed Consoles You’ve Probably Never Heard Of!
Epoch Cassette Vision
Epoch’s Cassette Vision console is particularly interesting in that it was one of the very first home consoles to be designed and manufactured in Japan, well before the success of Sega and Nintendo.
It was released in 1981 to compete with the popular Atari 2600 VCS, which had just been launched there, but lacked big name titles of it’s American rival with most of its 11 game library being made up of clones of popular arcade games. The Cassette Vision was also interesting in that it featured no external controllers, all the buttons were on the actual console itself making it very awkward to play anything, especially with a second player!
Despite the failure of the Cassette Vision to capture the market, Epoch were not put off and released the Super Casette Vision 3 years later in 1984. This had moderate success in Japan and was also sold in some parts of Europe. The SCV upped the ante in the games stakes with over 30 cartridges being released including hugely popular titles such as Boulder Dash, Miner 2049’er, Doraemon, Mappy and Pole Position II.
