Some Brazilian company has the right idea lol
Isn't that tied into they have the rights to manufacture the Genesis in Brazil, and import fees make other consoles super fucking expensive?
I'm not too familiar with it, but I imagine that sounds about right. I just think it'd be super dope to have people design new games for old hardware.
From what I've found on Wikipedia, it looks like they've moved more into other electronics, but still make plug-and-plays of the Master System and Genesis that have remained decently popular.
They're also the company behind the Zeebo, which was a legendary mess of a console that has had somewhat of a second life from internet acclaim.
For anyone interested in digging deeper into the Tectoy rabbit hole: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectoy
I think nowadays they are still doing cheap retro games consoles since theres a market for this. They also created some exclusive MasterSystem games like some Woody Pecker game, Show do Milhao (Brazilian who wants to be a millionaire) and Duke Nukem 3D. They also did the Brazilian dub of Blader Runner (the game) and Starcraft 1.
