Analogue Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ Cost $219.99 Each and Ship in December

Analogue has announced updated versions of its Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis consoles. The Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ cost $219.99 each, pre-orders opened on October 19 at 8am Pacific time directly from Analogue's website, and shipping begins in December 2026 (TweakTown, CBR).

What they are

Both machines are built around an FPGA, a chip configured to recreate the original console hardware rather than run software emulation. Analogue describes an in-house design on an Altera Cyclone V chip, with no emulation and zero lag. The Super Nt+ plays Super Nintendo and Super Famicom cartridges; the Mega Sg+ plays Sega Genesis, Mega Drive and Master System cartridges. Each supports more than 2,200 titles, region free, though one line on the Mega Sg+ page says 2,180.

Neither machine includes built-in games or plays ROM files: you bring your own original cartridges. The new consoles drop bundled games that came with the originals, such as Super Turrican Director's Cut on the Super Nt.

What is new

The biggest change is wireless controller support. Both consoles have Bluetooth and low-latency 2.4GHz radios with a pairing button that works with 8BitDo controllers, arcade sticks and modern gamepads, and a controller can power the console on and off. Wired controllers still work. Power arrives through USB-C, with a 30W GaN charger and cable in the box. A USB-A port supports Analogue's DAC or controller charging, but not wired USB controllers.

There is also a redesigned case, a new operating system, an SD card slot and hot-swappable cartridges, so you can return to the menu and change games without switching off. Video goes to 1080p over HDMI (no 4K), with aspect ratio, HQ2x to HQ4x filter and scanline options. The Mega Sg+ keeps a Sega CD connector and includes a Master System cartridge adapter.

What is missing

Controllers are not in the box, so buyers without one pay about $250 per console. The Super Nt+ has no openFPGA support and lacks the save states and overclocking found on the Analogue 3D (Held Games). Game Gear, Mycard and Mark III adapters for the Mega Sg+ are sold separately, and Sega CD play needs an original Sega CD or Mega CD unit.

Who it is for

These consoles target people who already own cartridges and want HDMI output without modding old hardware. At $219.99 before a controller they cost far more than budget retro clones, so the case rests on accuracy and build quality, and Analogue's zero-lag and accuracy claims have not yet been independently tested on the new units. Prices are in US dollars only; buyers in India and elsewhere will pay shipping, import duty and taxes on top.

What to watch next

A more precise shipping date, and reviews comparing the wireless pairing and new operating system with the original Super Nt and Mega Sg.
