Well, that's cool I suppose. I haven't a clue what they're saying as I don't speak any Portuguese, but if it's successful there, more power to them.

If you're just into the virtual console part of the wii I guess this is similar. I don't think I'd personally spend much on this though...

Which ever it is...

I just have to say I have always been jealous of Brazil and Tectoy. They've always taken very good care of their customers when supporting several different products and keeping certain systems alive well through their life.

For instance the Sega Master System in Brazil probably had the best of life then anywhere else in the world... including Europe. Look at the different SMS devices they released (like the one I recently discovered, a handhelf SMS that wirelessly transmitted it's video to your tv via RF).

They're smart, they target their audience, and they support the affordable hardware out there like no other. Considering we are talking about South America, Brazil is one of the more successful countries there, but it still economically falls short of North America, Europe and parts of Asia. So I mean...

DAMN, way to go Brazil!!!

Yay, Quake and Crash Bandicoot.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.
