The {{nihongo foot|'''PC-FX'''|ピーシー エフエックス|Pī Shī Efu Ekkusu|lead=yes|group=lower-alpha}} is a [[32-bit]] [[home video game console]] co-developed by [[NEC]] and [[Hudson Soft]]. Released in December 1994, it is based on the [[NEC V60#The V800 series|NEC V810]] [[CPU]] and [[CD-ROM]], and was intended as the successor to the PC Engine (known overseas as the [[TurboGrafx-16]]). Unlike its predecessor, the PC-FX was only released in Japan.

Its [[Computer form factor|form factor]] is like that of a [[Computer tower|tower PC]], intended to be similarly upgradeable. The PC-FX was uncompelling in the marketplace due to lack of a 3D [[polygon]]-based graphics chip, high price, and limited developer support and is considered a [[commercial failure]]. It was discontinued in February 1998 and NEC subsequently exited the home video game console business.
