The SG-1000 II is an updated version of the SG-1000 video game console, made by Sega. It was released in Japan in July 1984, priced ¥15,000.
The SG-1000 II is virtually identical to the SG-1000, being compatible with the same software and hardware. This means like the original system, the SG-1000 II runs all SC-3000 games and applications, with the exception of Music and Basic Cartridges. The SK-1100 keyboard attachment can also allow players to run certain SC-3000 games that rely on more than two buttons.
Additions include a Sega Card reader, allowing the system to run smaller games distributed on Sega Card. This concept would carry through to the Sega Mark III and Sega Master System. It also shipped with SJ-150 controllers, which can be housed on the sides of the console, similar to the Nintendo Famicom.
As the system failed to deliver any meaningful improvements for the Japanese public, the SG-1000 II, like its predecessor, faced stiff competition from Nintendo's Famicom and failed to pick up much steam. Its design would go on to influence the Sega Mark III, however.
