There's also a '' ('''PCE''') was an 8-bit system released jointly by [[wikipedia:Nec|NEC]] and [[Talkwikipedia:GetInvolvedHudson Soft|GetInvolved talk pageHudson Soft]]in Japan on October 30, 1987 and in the US on August 29, 1989. It was retailed for {{Inflation|USD|399.99|1987}}. It had a Hudson Soft HuC6280 8-bit CPU at 7.16 MHz and 1.79 MHz with 8KB of RAM and 64KB of VRAM. The CPU was teamed up with a 16-bit graphics processor and 16-bit video color encoder chip, both built by Hudson Soft. When it came time to seek other potential markets, the two companies eventually caved to a limited American release in 1989 under a completely different model and name: the '''TurboGrafx-16'''. The European versions varied throughout the countries, being the western version in Spain and United Kingdom and Japanese models in Benelux regions.

== Adding links When it first launched in North America, the TurboGrafx-16 was largely seen as a failure blamed on poor marketing by the manufacturers. The PC Engine, on the other hand, was a whole different story, beating out the [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Famicom]] when it first came out long enough to compete against [[Super Nintendo emulators|its rival's own successor]] and gave little focus for the [[Sega Genesis emulators|Mega Drive]] who was instead posing more content pages on the main page ==of a threat to Nintendo in North America.

I think it would improve NEC planned to enhance the wiki and make it more accessible to everyonesystem further, if we added links on announcing the main page to more content pages "PC Engine 2" that donwould later become the 't have ''PC Engine SuperGrafx'''. However, it was rushed to a link yet. I can't do 1989 market in Japan lacking much of its promised features with only seven titles exclusively made for it myself though, so I'd appreciate if someone else considered doing it. I have looked ending up all content pages at https://emulationa commercial failure to be binned and discontinued not long after.gametechwiki.comThe '''PC Engine GT''' /index.php?title=Special:AllPages&hideredirects=1 and I have made '''Turbo-Express''' was a list of most very rare handheld model of the ones that aren't yet linked on original hardware, in the same vein as the main page, excluding all that focus on specific emulators and Sega Nomad (a few more that I thought were better off staying inside other links. Also, there's at least 2 pages on this list that aren't linked from any other page, portable [[GPD_XD_DevicesSega Genesis emulators|Sega Genesis / Mega Drive]] ). It did include some exclusive features like the TurboLink multiplayer feature (used in games such as the flight sim called ''Falcon'' and [[Thread_template]]''Bomberman 93'') but wasn't widely supported.

Also I know there was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles#Start_a_%229th_Gen%22_Page_for_%22Nintendo_Switch%22_and_%22Ataribox%22 some debate] on whether the Nintendo Switch should be classified as eighth-generation or ninth, should we move it to ninth or wait until there's more of a consensus? -[[UserCategory:Skylark|Skylark]] PC Engine ([[User talk:Skylark|talk]]) 21:47, 26 September 2020 (UTC):I can add it.

I'll probably create a separate WIP page to test it out.There's mainly two reasons:* Make it easier to contribute to the wiki - this might be things like highlighting high priority tasks on the main page* Different layout of emulators - I've been thinking about separating console, computers and arcade emulators. Let me know if you got any suggestions. -[[User:Jpx|Jpx*]] ([[User talkCategory:Jpx|talkNEC consoles]]) 06:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC) == Quality control ==Some pages are of subpar quality or outdated. I think we need some better way of quality control.Perhaps something like Wikipedias [[wikipedia:wikipediaCategory:Content_assessment|Content assessment]] & [[wikipedia:wikipedia:Vital_articles|Vital aritcles]] or something like PCGamingWiki?A way to go thru all pages, add a category or template and then be able to list all pages that needs fixing.
