The announcement of the fusion attained great attention on the media, considering that Playtronic was the first company in the world to produce Nintendo products outside Japan. Shortly thereafter, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was the first console to be announced and then produced already on August 24, 1993,[2] adapted to the Brazilian's PAL-Manalog TV system and bundled as Control Set (with one controller) and Super Set (with two controllers and the Super Mario WorldGame Pak) versions. The initial distribution included the Super Scopelight gun and 12 games shipped and later sold separately.[4] Even with the late release, the success of its sales snapped up 60% from the 16-bit video game consoles local segment in April, 1995.[2]
The Nintendo Entertainment System was the next console to be produced. But even after the start of the sales, the Brazilian market has been dominated for a long time by smuggled (from China and Taiwan)[5] and local NES clones — one of the most successful being the Phantom System, manufactured by Gradiente itself.[2] Due to this fact, the quite late launch and the high prices of Nintendo's licensed products, the sales were very weak.[6] The NES clones and Tec Toy's Master System were still the best selling 8-bit video game consoles in the country.[5]
Until its final year of 1996, Playtronic also brought the Game Boy, Virtual Boy and Nintendo 64 to the Brazilian market. But due to a long time cash flow problem,[7] Estrela sold 50% of its equity participation in Playtronic to Gradiente for $7.3 million, ending the joint venture.[8] After that, the Gradiente Entertainment Ltda. was the division created to succeed the Nintendo's local representation until 2003, when it left the video games business due to several factors, including the high dollar exchange rate, reduction of average household income and high diffusion of piracy in Brazil.[6]
After 10 years completely abandoned, Playtronic was acquired in 2013 by the businessman Leandro Mattos, with the intention of preventing the brand from being forgotten by the Brazilian people.[9]
At the beginning of 2018, Playtronic's games had already surpassed 100,000 downloads, becoming popular not only in Brazil, but in several countries around the world.[10]
