Actually Nintendo consoles were manufactured in Brazil by Gradiente, through a company called Playtronic. Gradiente's plant was part of the Free Economic Zone of Manaus, an industrial hub on the heart of the Amazon rainforest. This plant was said to be Nintendo's only plant outside Japan, though I never saw a reliable source confirming this.
- alganet 11y agoIt seems NES was made by multiple manufacturers in Brazil: http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/nes/brazil/brazil.html http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/nes/brazil/brazil.html
- speeder 11y agoNintendo official manufacturer was Gradiente, but both NES and SNES had a crazy amount of non-licensed clones, and some clone manufacturers still exist (yes, you can buy a new NES and SNES in Brazil, along with new pirated cartridges)

- m45t3r 11y agoI would love a link too for a SNES hardware clone in Brazil. I know lots of brazillian NES clones (including the infamous PolyStation), but I don't know any SNES clones in Brazil.
- speeder 11y agoI see them sometimes on Santa Efigênia, some are shaped like an actual SNES, sort of a outright pirated console (ie: it is for most part an SNES, but not made by Nintendo). Sometimes you see people selling them on Mercado Livre
