Saturn and N64 are 4th consoles and this was NEC's third console. Despite the name, it is a console. It was the successor to the PCEngine/TG16 and SuperGrafx (which was such a disaster it only has 5 games) PCFX launched the same year as Saturn/PS1 at a higher price tag and less powerful. It could not do 3D and the kicker is Saturn was better at 2D than PCFX which prided itself on 2D abilities that cost more. PC Engine was a big success in Japan and was Nintendo's main rival in that region for Famicom and early Super Famicom. NEC a big electronics company at the time (they still exist but not what they were then). This thing was such a disaster it never left Japan. Saturn at least was a success in Japan. This is NEC's last console with only 60 games and 300k systems sold.
