I think it came down to being a bit expensive, poor distribution and poor marketing.
Back then, who’d even heard of them, much less seen them in the shops?

Its true, they were virtually impossible to find when SNK were still in business.
However, after they’d closed down, another company bought up their stocks of these handhelds, repackaged them, and shipped into such stores as Gamestation, at a budget price of £39.99 or so.
Even better, they came bundled with 6 games… which is how I came to have this example.
