Zeebo: Brazil’s Bizarre Delisted Console | Past Mortem [SSFF]

The Zeebo tried to fix Brazil’s notorious bootleg scene by putting mobile games where they really belong: the living room! Spoilers: it did not go well. But at least this Tectoy and Qualcomm collab gave us Resident Evil 4, Crash Nitro Kart, Tekken an exclusive Double Dragon and more… all on a digital-only anti-piracy home console. What could go wrong??
