Super NES: Nintendo 16-Bit Answer To the Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphx-16
The console that defines all categories
I know that in this new generation with the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii now on store shelves everywhere and the X-Box 360 still fighting to gain market leader, there were at least a few features that these new generation consoles had which originated before their successful console launch. In the early years of the 1990s, Sega had entered the videogame market with there Sega Master game console to challenge Nintendo's successful NES game console, but by that time Nintendo had already claimed a big financial part of the videogame market which urged Sega to retreat back to square one.
A few years later, Sega along with NEC then shift ahead of Nintendo by introducing their new 16-Bit consoles, the 16-Bit Sega Genesis and the Turbo Graphx-16 videogame consoles. Their system had persuaded third party publishers to flipped away from Nintendo's 8-Bit juggernaut, the NES, and began releasing exclusive titles for their systems. This change of history had began starting to hurt Nintendo's NES sales until Nintendo later backfired by releasing their ultimate Super NES 16-Bit console in 1991 to countered the Sega Genesis and Turbo Graphx-16.
The Super NES brought Nintendo's popular franchises into the 16-Bit world with Mario, Zelda, and Metroid looking stunning and better than what Sega and NEC had offered until Sega later created a mascot game franchise called "Sonic the Hedgehog" to counter Nintrendo's Mario and their other franchises to stay on top, but NEC didn't do the same and later dropped down to the third position of the videogame market due to a lack of successful sale of its Turbo Graphx-16 console, it later returned with its more powerful Turbo Duo CD console, but did not do anything successful and NEC later file for bankruptcy and the Turbo Graphx-16 and Turbo Duo as we know are dead.
