Desirable console maker Analogue has announced a final run of its Super Nt and Mega Sg consoles.
Previous runs have sold out quickly, with the Super Nt Noir mini in particular setting out on the launch day. This time around, Analogue states an October 28 pre-release day, with both the Super Nt and Mega Sg devics set to retail for US$199.99.
Super Nt and Mega Sg — the final run. We’re making one final run of Super Nt and Mega Sg. Preorders will be available at $199 on Oct 28 at 8am PDT. Shipping Q4 2023. Signup for the stock notification on our store to be emailed as soon as they are available.
Employing FPGA (field-programmable gate array) technology rather than emulation, in theory these consoles should play authentic Nintendo SNES and SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis carts as well as the original consoles. But the price might be a problem for some. In the past few months I’ve seen both second-hand Mega Drive and SNES consoles available for less than the expected price of the Super Nt and Mega Sg.
While Analogue clearly puts considerable effort into design, these consoles are really aimed at hardcore collectors rather than gamers. Perhaps they’ll save wear and tear on the console slot of the original hardware. Register your interest to receive an alert when pre-orders open.
