Two men were arrested this past Sunday for allegedly robbing a young woman in Itanhaém, Brazil. The crime was supposedly committed at gunpoint. Rather, light-gun point.

Whether you call it “soccer” or “football,” that doesn’t matter here. What does is that this dude is known as Pikachu.

Sorry, cooler? No. I meant, hotter.

Nintendo is pulling out of Brazil. The company announced yesterday that it will no longer distribute products there due to the country's high tariffs on electronics, despite its "many passionate fans" that live there.

Ubisoft Brazil managing director Bertrand Chaverot has reportedly told local site TechTudo that the next game in the publisher's blockbuster series will be taking place in the South American nation.

A series of photos attributed to a filing with the Brazilian equivalent of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission appears to give the first look at the case of a redesigned "superslim" PlayStation 3, which last week was rumored to be in manufacturing by Sony.

Chances are the Sega consoles you played, or at least saw growing up, were actually made by Sega. But not everyone was afforded that luxury.

Sega, you now have some competition in the urinal game market. Guitar Pee is an installation you can currently find in some men's toilets in São Paulo, Brazil.
