Brazillian SNES Console

title

Bruno Tondin has sent me pictures of a Brazillian Super NES, which was produced by Playtronics. Cheers to him for the pictures and information.

Playtronic was the only company in the world licensed to produce Super NES systems, as import laws made it prohibitively expensive for Nintendo to release the system in Brazil on their own. At a base level, the system is identical to a standard North American release. The fuse was repaired on the console, but is otherwise in perfect working order. Playtronic included its own serial code system, which it used on both consoles and games.
