Master System 3

Master System 3
Manufacturer: Tectoy
Release Date RRP Code BR 2008

The Master System 3 is a console released by Tectoy exclusively in Brazil in 2008. It is a continuation of the long-running Sega Master System line was it was seen in the country, succeeding the line of "Master System 3 Collection" consoles (which in turn followed the "Master System III Compact"). This Master System 3 has a shorter name and lacks a cartridge slot, relying solely on built-in games. It also opts for a radically changed design over previous consoles, presumed to be unique to Tectoy products.

The Master System 3 comes with 131 built-in games (or so it claims), the same number as the last Master System 3 Collection console to be released. It also comes with two Sega Mega Drive-style six button control pads which plug into two DE-9 ports, although most of the buttons on the pads are redundant as the console has no built-in Mega Drive games.

Out of the 131 games included, the majority are Master System games and at least one game, Sonic Drift 2 is a Sega Game Gear release, but others were produced internally by Tectoy and run on more advanced hardware. This is a "console on a chip", so the Master System/Game Gear support is emulated. Little is known about Tectoy's consoles from this period - the nature of the non-Sega games is unknown, and Tectoy made no effort to differentiate platforms when compiling software lists. Some games were included in the Tectoy Mega Drive 3.

The Master System 3 was replaced by the Master System Evolution in 2011.
