The Cassette Vision is a video game console made by Japanese toy manufacturer Epoch. It is notable as being the very first Japanese developed console, but outside of that it was a total flop. Though comparable to the Atari 2600, it received zero support and was somewhat pricey, which contributed to it's failure. Epoch still tried to push it by releasing the Cassette Vision Jr., which was a smaller and cheaper version of the console, but it didn't work. Only 11 games were released for it. It was later succeeded by the Super Cassette Vision, which fared a little better.
