Konami Picno 2

The Picno was released in October 1992. Targeting a young audience, the Picno was a hybrid between a tablet and an educational video game console. The tablet would connect to a normal TV set and allowed to use 160 colors on screen. At the time of release, only a few cartridges were released with the promise of new ones before the end of the year. The sales were not going as strong as Konami would have hoped and this Konami decided they should drop the price of the console. In 1993, they released the Picno 2 at the price of ¥15,800. The Picno 2 had almost no improvement over the original Picno, aside from very few aesthetic changes and cheaper manufacturing cost.
