Here in Santa Catarina, in the South of Brazil there was definitely a console war between the SNES and the Mega Drive. I had an SNES and my cousin had a Mega, we'd play at each other's houses and damn boi, was my childhood good because of it. Master System's dominance seems to be confined to the poorer regions of Brazil.

[@Canalbiruta]

Pacheko here in santos sp in my neighborhoods shit were crazy too. I had a genesis (my father was a gamer and used to pay a lot in gaming to play with me) and my next door neighbor had a snes, but other neighbors had master systems and famiclones too, like the polystation and dinavision

[@GiordanDiodato]

probably because Sega handed the manufacturing rights to a Brazilian company called TecToy.

[@MarceloKamui]

Tec Toy was a big thing here in brazil, now it's not anymore.. sadly...

[@AlexRN]

KAMUI PLAYS did Tec Toy brought the games and translated them or were they only in English? Did Brazil go bananas over the best Master System game ever (Phantasy Star)?

[@MarceloKamui]

@@AlexRN Phantasy Star was very important in here, 'cause it was the first rpg game ever translated to brazilian portuguese. Not all games, but they translated a lot of them, and they also made brazilian versions, like Asterix and Obelix for the master system they used characters from a brazilian tv show called tv colosso, they also did something similar with some wonder boy games too, they released here using characters from Monica's Gang. They also translated pahntasy star 2 and 3.

[@MoonSarito]

I still think TecToy is amazing even today. I know the ''2017 Mega Drive'' (this version: www.comunidademegadrive.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/1495752716284-640x400.jpg / www.tectoy.com.br/pre-venda-mega-drive-edicao-limitada/p/995040461825 ) doesn't use the original Mega Drive hardware even though it has the same casing, but it's still infinitely better than ATGames Sega Genesis. In addition, I learned that fans named Neto and Rafael have created updates for this Mega Drive, improving game compatibility, sound quality and even adding the save option to SD and even more surprisingly the option to back up cartridges to the SD straight from the console. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmWQcp6rpMx8gJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWLJZIChmcuFqck With the new update, it is a great device for those who don't want to spend more on a Sega Genesis + Everdrive in Brazil.

Yeah, that bit of the interview made Brazilian consumers sound like idiots who couldn't tell the difference between a 8 and 16 bit machine. While in reality it was the way parents thought, (who couldn't care less if Mega Drive was a stronger console) and choose the less expensive one for their kids, specially in a period the country was just recovering from a massive inflation crisis in the 80's and early 90's. Even crazier than the MK3 port to Master System, was Tectoy's own Street Fighter 2 version, which was actually a downport of the Mega Drive game. And finally Duke Nukem 3D for Mega Drive, which only God knows how they pulled off.

That part with Sega's dominance in Brasil reminded me of my cousins who didn't know about the SNES and N64 until around 2004 (if only you could have seen the wonder in their eyes while I described the N64 controller) because the only consoles you could find where they lived were from Sega and some NES clones, while the only consoles I knew as a kid where from Nintendo. Back then I only knew Sonic from the cartoon, I had no idea he had games, and so many to boot! Likewise they didn't know about Zelda at all. I also missed the PS1 completely, but I played the Gamecube and Xbox, which they missed. It was fascinating sharing our completely different experiences with video games during the annual family reunions.

nintendo still cant hold up to sega around these parts, we have the nintendo of brazil and still, most of the games go for about 80-100USD when ps4 and xbox one titles average 50-60USD, no wonder people around these parts usually dont have very fond memories about nintendo, most people with Snes usually were the "rich cousins"

[@rodrigodavet7512]

Uh, Nintendo hasn't officially had support here in Brazil since 2011 or '12, I think? Yeah, they have a "Brazilian store" for some Switch digital games, but all that amounts to is the store being in Portuguese and the prices being in Reais, but that's it.

[@rodrigodavet7512]

Oh, and actually the Snes eventually did beat (or at the very least got really close to) the Mega Drive. Nintendo's partnership with Gradiente wasn't as big as Sega's was with Tectoy, but they did pretty well over here , while that partnership lasted.

Nobody: Absolutely Nobody: Deadly Alliance GBA: ANIME SCORPION

[@SquackSpencer]

Derek, as a Brazilian, allow me to say this: Your research is easily the best I've ever seen from someone from outside. I mean, you mentioned TecToy, their partnership with Sega, the fact they still make Master Systems to this date, that today's ones aren't exactly original hardware, and even mentioned the famous PS4K!!! (we gave it that name because back then, 1800 USD were 4000 BRL). As a comparison, 1800 USD today is almost 7000 USD, and a PS4 now costs approximately 1400 BRL, roughly 360 USD. But the reason for that excruciatingly high price is not only that our import taxes are ridiculous, but also because back then, videogames were taxed as Casino Games. Now, they're taxed as Electronics and Software, so their price would be lower, had our economy remained stable. Which it obviously didn't. Also, I just checked it, there was a Law created in 1984 (dropped in 1992) that made it almost impossible to import computers, and that probably includes consoles as well, they had to be produced here. So TecToy partnered with Sega to release the Master System and a company called Gradiente was only able to bring Nintendo Products reliably once the SNES was released. We don't even have lots of NES's here, pretty much all of them are FamiClones. So that kinda explains how the Master System was able to dominate. And I am a Sega boy mostly because of TecToy. We also don't have ANY classic computers like Commodore's or Apple's from earlier than that. All PCs were either IBM PC Compatibles or MSX manufactured by a regional variant of Sharp that had almost no relation to the actual Japanese Sharp. Sure, you can find a few people with NES, or Commodore 64, but they probably had to "smuggle it" via an unofficial importer (we call them "Muambeiros", as the imports themselves are ""Muambas"), or via a travelling relative.

[@brevin630]

I had Mortal Kombat 2 on GameBoy as a kid, man I loved that game and is quite good for a Gameboy mortal kombat

[@danevileye]

As a Brazilian, I can say that both PS3 and PS4 got here costing around R$ 8000 (around USD 2000 for simplicity sake), but that was part greed of the importing companies because of the "novelty effect". Later on, those systems went down to around USD 700 (yet pretty expensive comparing to USA and JP prices)

[@rodrigodavet7512]

But we gotta be honest and thank Sony for doing some kind of black magic and releasing their first party games at a (comparatively) cheaper price, even with all the taxes. They are technically cheaper than in the US!

"Prince of Persia" was always impressive no matter what system it showed up on, but I think the Sega CD edition may have been the most feature-filled. Adaptations + Regional Differences make "Carmageddon" also fun to explore. The SNES had a few titles with "Full Motion Video" - Rise of the Robots, Revolution X, Brett Hull Hockey, NBA JAM (Original Only, no Subsequent Editions), others.

The ultimate mk3 port for DS isn’t bad imo I still play it to this day

As a brazillian, I'm pretty surprised you not only gave the explanation for the game existing here, but also gave the correct explanation, and even mentioned the stupid taxes and stuff. I've never seen a single youtuber explain so correctly about the shitstorm that is the taxes around here. Thanks for actually caring about the correct information and sharing it.

I think the main purpose of the Switch port (well not "main," but a big one) is for competitive players to be able to grind on the go, so things like the crypt running poorly, needing to be online for a lot of content, and the visuals in general aren't all that important when you just want to be able to practice confirms and combos on a plane or whatever. Of course, I *DO* understand that a huge portion of people that buy/play Mortal Kombat are more casual fans, and of course this stuff will matter for them.

As a kid, for whatever reason, I asked for the Game Boy port of Mortal Kombat 2 for Christmas. Curiousity got the best of me. I'm not a smart person, and I definitely wasn't a smart kid...

This has to be the first sponsor that I actually have interest in. It's not bullshit terrible games with the exact same copy every time, but something that sounds really cool. Good jorb guys.

I love it whenever someone mentions the Crazy Bus music.

[@dadsfreetimeclassicgaming1220]

I legit started liking that baseline the more you played it.

1:50 Check Ark Survivor Evolved on Switch. You won't believe it even when you see it.

I like how all the hard C's in the closed captions have been replaced with K's

I dunno man, that Cheetahmen audio clip was actual, y'know, music. It had a melody, it had a /key/, and it was honestly pretty catchy. That MK port was just, like...grumbly noise-bass, that was eventually joined by a triangle tuned specifically to clash with the grumbles. All awash with other, distracting background noise. ...I'd say putting it midway between Crazybus & Cheetahmen is fair.

Oh man. I had completely forgotten that the R-Zone was a thing until watching this episode. Thank you SSFF, my life is now measurably better.
