Analogue announces Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+, new FPGA consoles for SNES and Genesis cartridges
Both cost $219.99, add Bluetooth and USB-C, and open for preorder Monday, October 19, at 8am PT. Shipping is planned for December.
Analogue, the maker of high-accuracy retro consoles, has announced the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+, refreshed versions of the machines it built for people who still own Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis cartridges. Each costs $219.99, preorders open Monday, October 19, at 8am PT (11am ET), and shipping is expected to start in December 2026, according to the official product pages.
What's new compared to the originals
- Built-in Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless controller support with a dedicated pairing button; the console powers on and off from player one's controller.
- USB-C power (a 30W supply is included) and a USB-A port for the Analogue DAC, which outputs to CRT TVs, or for charging controllers.
- Hot-swappable cartridges, a redesigned case and OS, and new retail packaging.
- HDMI output up to 1080p, NTSC or PAL video standards, and region-free play.
Super Nt+ supports the 2,200+ game Super NES and Super Famicom library and comes in three variants: Classic, SF and Black. Mega Sg+ plays Genesis/Mega Drive and Master System cartridges (the adapter is in the box), has a connector for an original Sega CD, and comes in USA, EU and JP variants. Game Gear, My Card and Mark III/SG-1000 adapters are sold separately.
What to know before you buy
Both systems use an FPGA chip (Altera Cyclone V) configured to recreate the original hardware at the circuit level rather than a software emulator. That also means they only play physical cartridges: no ROM files, no openFPGA support and, unlike the original models, no built-in games. Controllers aren't included either; Analogue points to 8BitDo's SN30 and M30, sold for $29.99. Features from the Analogue 3D, the company's Nintendo 64 system, such as save states and 4K display modes, are not part of these consoles.
The original Super Nt (2017) and Mega Sg (announced in 2018) became a go-to way to play original cartridges on modern TVs; the new models keep the same core and change everything around it. Sales run through Analogue's own online store.
