Is it true that Brazil still loves classic sega?

Hue here, sort of. Those MS consoles officially licensed are still made here as far as I know, but people don't care about it in 2020.

So the Tectoy-made Brazillian Master Systems and Mega Drives don't take actual carts right?

The console is one thing, I can't imagine you can still find carts on a store shelf over there.

>> No.6174280

>>6174267
The ones made today don't take carts, the old ones are literally regular consoles. Tectoy was the official manufacturer and distributor for Sega in Brazil from the MS to the Dreamcast. They started doing these weird licensed bootlegs only after Sega left the hardware market.

About 90% untrue. You've probably heard about how in Hueland the Master System was far more popular than the NES and how the Mega Drive is still being produced and selling 30 years later, but it's more complicated than that. The MS was more popular because it released in the 80s and was produced for many years, while the NES only came out in 93 (same year as the SNES). It's tough to measure something like this, but I'd say the MD was a little less popular than the SNES during the 90s (like most of the world), and only later did Tectoy started making those versions with built-in games, which were popular with poor people who could only afford shitty clone consoles (might as well get something "official").
So no, Sega is not particularly popular in Brazil, not as much as Nintendo, at least, and it annoys me seeing burgers claiming that because they read it on Wikipedia or some shit, but it does make me wonder how often reports are far from the reality of situations...

brazilian kids nowadays don't even know what a cartridge, it's cheaper to play in a mobile phone than buying any Genesis/Master System rerererelease Tec Toy is shitting nowadays. But funny enough my brother gave me this plug and play SMS yesterday, sound emulation is far from being good but it actually works ok in a crt so I can fix my craving for Alex Kidd with that. thx bro

Unfortunately, not. Even the new Mega Drive is usually sold online. Closest thing to buying new carts for anything these days is finding famiclone carts on flea markets.

I totally fell for this idea when I learned a little about it, but I think it's because I wanted to. The concept of some kind of Land Time Forgot scenario with videogames is fun and appealing, hence probably it still gets spread around.

No. It's literal stockholm syndrome cause to get anything more modern costs miles above what the average hue makes due to insane import taxes. Sega managed to get a foothold by licensing their console and games to a Brazilian company to get around it.

PSX and PS2, and they cost less than a Mega Drive. You also get to buy pirated PS2 discs, which is kind of a big deal.
Master System is cheaper though.

Not really, PS1 and PS2 were way more popular here.

that's a hasty generalization, Genesis and SMS were madly popular here at their times. Hell, even the NES which took almost a full decade to be officially released was really famous thanks to Dynacom and their famiclones. If you think in 2020 only, then I can give you that and say the PS2 still very popular, but I'm thinking in /vr/ terms

I find markets like this really cool, as a reminder that games don't actually instantly lose their value in the way that pricing in western markets tends to suggest, even if it's hardly the 'actually kids in 2008 were playing SMS Sonic instead of Call of Duty' people make it out to be.
>>6174391
I think you can blame it on confusion about those plug-and-plays being even a slight market presence, since that's so unusual to a lot of people. Weird projects like the Duke and Mortal Kombat ports probably doesn't help matters.
