The Mark III was rereleased in Japanese with the Master System name and styling, and also with an FM synth card (never included in the international version) to enhance the quality of chiptunes. However, the Master System was discontinued early in Japan, soon after Sega introduced the 16-bit MegaDrive. The Master System lasted only a year or two longer in the United States, where it lost out not only to the NES but the {{Atari 7800}} as well, although its failure to gain ground was largely due to Creator/{{Nintendo}} trying to monopolize the market there. However, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff it did gain a lot of ground in Europe and South America]]. Heck, games were still being developed for the Master System in Brazil by the mid-to-late 90s (such as a port of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII: Champion Edition''). The SMS' popularity in the UK in particular was helped by a bungled distribution campaign from Nintendo which meant that the NES was so rare in Britain as to be practically mythical.
