The Super A'can is a home video game console that was released exclusively in Taiwan in 1995 by Funtech. Inside is a Motorola 68000, also used in the Sega Genesis and Neo Geo. Twelve games have been confirmed to exist for the system.
Commercial performance
Despite the Super A'Can being powerful for its time, it was a commercial failure. There are reasons why the Super A'Can flopped: its initial price cost was too expensive for consumers, and the A'Can was released as the 3D era had already started, which left no chance for it to compete with consoles like the PlayStation, the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Saturn, all of which were more powerful and offered 3D graphics. The A'Can had performed so poorly that Funtech lost USD$6 million before being defunct.
