NEC didn't have the R&D for a new console, they stayed in the market as long as they could through multiple revisions and releasing add-ons. Most of the PC Engine profit came from selling multi-taps and controller extension cords.

I still wonder if this was one of the reasons why the PCE was creamed by the SNES in Japan

super famicom only had 2 models in 10 years.

pce had so many models, there were even models that got rid of features like the PCE Shuttle or the Coregrafx II (the coregrafx I had a sound revision chip)

No, you would normally cut out some of the letters from 日本電気株式会社.
株式会社 just describes that it's a stock traded company, for Nintendo, Sega or Sony that part is also dropped or shortened to 社.
The common form is just 日本電気 but I imagine that some shorten it to 日電 which would then be pronounced Nichiden.

If we are talking in english I will pronounce the letters in english, pronouncing in japanese its retarded.

If I'm talking in spanish I should say Ene E Ce, otherwise if the person doesn't know japanese letters (most of them how crazy) they will know what I'm talking about.

If kanya sampled some of the redbook audio stuff from PC engine games that could be a cool concept, but i'm almost positive he made those tweets in some drunken nostalgic bender where he was randomly reminded of the TG16 he had when he was younger and took it a little too far. Actually sort of embarrassing when you think about it.

>> No.3111109

>>3111095
he did sample SF 2 in his latest album and he did admit to playing super spy on Neo Geo as well. So he might add some reference here and there but not to the point where he'll name something like magical chase or Neutopia. Maybe Bonk's adventure, blazing lasers, and Keith Courage. Kanye's tweets are either really hilarious or cringe inducing because he tweets like a 15 year old girl.
