The real Nintendo representative appeared in 1993 thanks to Playtronic.[1] This way, the Master System was a massive success there, and Tec Toy even made some versions not released anywhere else. During the 1990s, Tec Toy had 80% of the Brazilian market.
Tectoy is the official distributor of Sega products in Brazil to this days. However, SEGA’s products after 2001 are released in that region by different distributors. ref>https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tectoy</ref>
