The console is similar to the European SNES. Even as the original NES/Famicom was at the height of its popularity, several companies were launching their own consoles. In 1988, both Sega and NEC launched their contenders, the Mega Drive and the PC Engine, the first 16-bit gaming systems to be made available to the public. Although the NES would continue to dominate the video game industry for years to come, Nintendo's hardware was beginning to show its age, and though Nintendo executives initially showed little interest in developing a new system, Sega and NEC's growing marketshare soon forced Nintendo to reconsider. Masayuki Uemura, the man responsible for designing the Famicom several years earlier, was put in charge of the design of the console, called the Super Famicom, which was released in Japan on November 21, 1990 for ¥25,000. An instant success, Nintendo quickly sold out its initial shipment of 300,000 units. The system was so popular that it was said to have attracted the attention of the Yakuza, leading to the decision to ship the devices at night in order to avoid robbery. In Japan, the Super Famicom easily outsold its chief rival, the Mega Drive, and Nintendo retained control over approximately 80% of the Japanese console market, thanks, in part, to Nintendo's retention of most of its key third party developers from the Famicom, including Capcom, Konami, Tecmo, Square Co., Ltd., Koei and Enix.
