Its form factor is like that of a tower PC, intended to be similarly upgradeable. Unlike its predecessor, the PC-FX was only released in Japan.
Based on the NEC V810 CPU and CD-ROM, it was intended as the successor to the PC Engine (known overseas as the TurboGrafx-16). It was released in 1994 and discontinued in February 1998, as NEC's final home video game console.
The PC-FX is a 32-bit home video game console developed by NEC and Hudson Soft.
