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.

Genesis 3
A very dodgy Genesis 3 clone which despite its many claims, is not thought to be officially licensed. This one resembles the official product more than any other Genesis 3 clone out there, though its box text is translated into Spanish for markets such as Argentina. Font sizes and build quality are also slightly different on the unit.
Genesis 3 (Fun Time)
Relatively modern Genesis 3 from South America.
Mega Drive 3
Another modern Genesis 3 from South America. These ones add a dash of red to the console and control pads.

There are many Genesis 3 clones, all with subtle changes.
Genesis 3 (unknown)
A very official looking clone. Claims to have 232 built-in games but only has about 116, with the rest being repeats. Comes in a miniature version of the official-looking box. Is region-free and outputs NTSC 60Hz but the sound emulation is not accurate and doesn't work with high capacity multi-carts.
Genesis 3 (unknown)
A very official-looking clone. Claims to have 368 built-in games but only has 5, with the rest being repeats. Sound is fairly accurate and works with high capacity multi-carts, but console outputs PAL 50Hz.
