Nintendo Omega II is a console made by nintendo during the fifth generation of video games. It competed with Nintendo's own Omega (released in 1996), the Sega Saturn, the Atari 9000,and the Apple Pippin.
Developed in response to the Omega not meeting sales quotas, the Omega II used the same technology as the Omega, but got rid of the Nintendo Playstation cartridge compatibility and replaced it with Nintendo Omega. The console received lukewarm reception and was not a commercial success,becoming Nintendo's worst selling console.
