The Super A'Can is a Taiwan-exclusive SNES ripoff released in 1995 by Funtech. Inside the console is a Motorola 68000 CPU, which was also used in the Sega Genesis and Neo Geo.
It's the only game console ever developed in Taiwan.
Why It Flopped
- At an initial price of NT$2,900 (about US$110), it was too expensive for regular consumers.
- It was released in the 3D era, where the PlayStation 1 and Sega Saturn were already out, making the console a commercial failure due to its outdated 2D graphics. Even the Super Nintendo and the Sega Genesis were doing fine.
- To add insult to injury, Funtech originally had plans to make an add-on, called the Super Color, that would have enhanced the console with 3D graphics, but it was never released.
- The console and its games were also really hard to find in stores, which greatly affected their sales.
- Only twelve games were ever released for the system, and almost all of them were poorly made clones.
- If programming games for a new console in general wasn't time-consuming enough, the Super A'Can's development tools were rudimentary, leading the game development process to be even more protracted.
The Only Redeeming Quality
- The startup is decent.
