About Us

Our story is woven from the fabric of countless afternoons spent in the glow of CRT televisions, immersed in the pixelated worlds of the 80s and 90s. Tetan sugar & beauty was founded in 2015 by a tight-knit group of friends in São Paulo whose shared childhood passion for classic arcades and home consoles never faded. What began as a personal quest to rebuild our own collections from local flea markets and classified ads quickly revealed a greater community need. We discovered that across Brasil, countless iconic systems like the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo (SNES) were sitting in attics and basements, succumbing to time, humidity, and neglect. We saw an opportunity not just to build a business, but to become stewards of a precious digital heritage, ensuring these timeless pieces of entertainment history could be enjoyed once more.

We are fundamentally preservationists at heart. Our core mission extends far beyond simple commerce; we are dedicated to the art and science of restoration. Each console that enters our workshop is treated with the care and respect it deserves. Our skilled technicians perform a comprehensive process that includes deep cleaning, replacing aged capacitors (recapping), repairing cartridge slots, and meticulously testing every component. This rigorous approach ensures that every Sega system we sell doesn't just turn on, but delivers the same authentic experience and reliability it did decades ago. We breathe new life into these aging machines, preparing them for another generation of gameplay.

Our expertise is particularly deep when it comes to the legendary 16-bit era, the golden age that cemented the rivalry between Sega and SNES. We understand the nuances of both platforms—from the blast processing of one to the mode 7 graphics of the other. This specialized knowledge allows us to source the best units, curate the most beloved titles, and provide our customers with informed guidance. We don't just sell you a console; we connect you with its history and its library of iconic retro-games. We are a trusted resource for enthusiasts seeking to relive the magic and for newcomers eager to discover why these retro-games remain so influential today.

Today, Tetan sugar & beauty has grown from a garage-based hobby into a recognized hub for the classic gaming community in Brasil. However, our founding spirit remains unchanged. We are still driven by that same genuine passion for the click of a cartridge, the hum of a console, and the joy of discovering a new favorite retro-game. We are proud to have built a community where stories are shared, memories are rekindled, and the legacy of classic gaming is kept vibrantly alive for all to experience. We invite you to be a part of this ongoing story.
