Nintendo might already offer an official miniature Super Nintendo console, but more serious retro gaming fans get a second option from Analogue-- the Super Nt, a recreation able to play game cartridges of old.
The Super Nt promises to be superior to the SNES Mini, since it does not use emulation to play retro games. Instead it uses a complete FPGA (field-programmable gate array) promising to "preserve videogame history, with the respect it deserves" while pushing 1080p 60Hz visuals compatible with modern HDTVs. In addition fans also get features such as scanlines and aspect ratio preservation, as well as 48kHz 16-bit stereo audio.
The console is region-free, meaning it handles games from all over the world. Further features include support for a wide range controllers, including original SNES and Super Famicom joypads, 8Bitdo SN30 wireless controllers and even Bluetooth controllers such as the DualShock 4. And just as well, since the Super Nt package lacks a controller.
Analogue is currently taking preorders for the Super Nt in four colour schemes-- Super Famicom (the style found in Japan and Europe), American SNES purple, all-black and transparent. Shipments should start on Q1 2018.
