The Super A'can was a console released exclusively in the Republic of China in 1995 by Funtech Entertainment. At first glance it appears to be a Super Nintendo clone with the case and controllers bearing a strong similarity to the US version, but inside is a Motorola 68000, similar to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive or SNK Neo Geo. Twelve games have been confirmed to exist for the system.

  • The Super A'can was a console released exclusively in the Republic of China in 1995 by Funtech Entertainment. At first glance it appears to be a Super Nintendo clone with the case and controllers bearing a strong similarity to the US version, but inside is a Motorola 68000, similar to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive or SNK Neo Geo. Twelve games have been confirmed to exist for the system. Although the A'can was a powerful console with the support of several of Taiwan's largest firms developing software for it, it ultimately failed on the market for a few reasons: its initial cost was too high for most interested parties to afford, and newer, more powerful systems with 3D technology were appearing on the market at the same time. Also, as the developers were pushed to finish their games as quickly as possible (and using a rather stubborn and poorly documented development kit to do so), the resulting A'can games were, by far, nothing special. In fact, the A'can did so very poorly on the market during its short appearance there that it lost its company over USD$6M (6 million US dollars). In the end, the company destroyed all development and production materials related to the machine, and sold off the remaining systems to the United States as scrap parts.
  • Super A'can 是民國八十四年（1995）臺灣國產遊戲機，製作公司為 聯華電子。 在前期是被稱為超級任天堂的複製品，而主機和搖捍則像極了美版超級任天堂，雖然核心是台很像 Sega Genesis／Mega Drive 或 SNK Neo Geo 的 Motorola 68000。 儘管 Super A'can 是當時很強大的遊戲機，不管還是因為種種原因而沒落… 最後，A'can 在虧損了超過六百萬的美金下結束了它短暫的生命，聯華電子則全面銷毀所有相關開發和製作零件，而剩下的主機被當成垃圾賣給了美國。 迄今，A'can 還是聯華電子旗下損失最嚴重的産品。
