The Super Cassette Vision is a video game console released by Epoch in 1984. It was the follow-up to their "Cassette Vision" console which released in 1981 and had become Japan's best selling console prior to the release of the Famicom and SG-1000. Following the successful release of the Famicom, and to a lesser extent the SG-1000, many other contenders entered the market. These all quickly failed to gain a foothold and were quickly abandoned, with the market becoming reduced to just the offerings from Nintendo, Sega, and Epoch, before Epoch itself would withdraw from the console hardware market in 1986. Whilst never challenging Nintendo's dominance the Super Cassette Vision did carve out a small market-share, leaving it not too far behind in third place before Sega replaced the SG-1000 with the Mark III.

The Super Cassette Vision was the first console to feature a game with battery back-up, Pop & Chips, which released in September 1985. A pink version of the console targeting girls was released as the Super Lady Cassette Vision, similar to how TecToy would release the Master System Girl nearly a decade later. The console also made it to France, where it was released by SC-3000 distributor Yeno.
