− | ==Genesis 3==
| |
− | Despite its late arrival, the redesigned and further cost-reduced [[Genesis 3]] unit became a popular item in South America... despite not being officially released there. Though some were imported from North America, many more clone consoles were manufactured on the cheap (the [[Mega 3]] for example is extremely common in Argentina). Unlicensed Genesis 3 clones were manufactured well into the 2000s and may still be in production to this day.
