SEATTLE - Analogue is reviving the two consoles that made its name with retro collectors. The company on Friday announced Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+, refreshed versions of its FPGA-based machines for original Super Nintendo, Super Famicom, Sega Genesis, Mega Drive and Master System cartridges. Each costs $219.99, and preorders open Monday, Oct. 19, at 8 a.m. Pacific, according to Analogue’s product pages. Shipping is planned for December 2026.
Like the originals, Super Nt from 2017 and Mega Sg, first announced in 2018, the new consoles do not use software emulation. Analogue says each system’s core is engineered into an Altera Cyclone V FPGA, and both output up to 1080p over HDMI with what the company describes as zero lag.
The headline change is wireless. Both consoles now have Bluetooth and 2.4GHz support built in, with a dedicated pairing button for 8BitDo controllers, arcade sticks and other modern gamepads. Up to two controllers can connect. Original wired controllers still work, and plugging one in takes priority over a wireless pad. Either console can be switched on or off from the player one controller.

Analogue also moved both machines to USB-C power, with a 30W GaN power supply and cable in the box, and added a USB-A port. The company says that port is for its Analogue DAC, which converts the digital signal to analog for CRT televisions and PVM monitors, and for charging controllers, not for data or wired USB pads. Cartridges are now hot-swappable: quit a game from the menu and swap it without powering down. The Verge noted that, despite the redesign, both consoles look very similar to the originals.

Super Nt+ comes in three versions, Classic, SF and Black, and Analogue says it plays the library of more than 2,200 Super NES and Super Famicom cartridges, NTSC and PAL, region free. Mega Sg+ comes in USA, EU and JP versions. It ships with a Master System cartridge adapter and a Sega CD spacer, connects to an original Sega CD or Mega CD, and supports Game Gear, Sega My Card, Mark III and SG-1000 games through adapters sold separately.

There are limits. Neither console includes a controller; Analogue sells the 8BitDo SN30 and M30 pads separately for $29.99. Neither includes the built-in games the originals shipped with, Super Turrican Director’s Cut and Ultracore. Analogue also says the Plus models do not support openFPGA or the save states, screenshots and 4K display modes of its Analogue 3D, because they were designed for the 2D era. Each box does include two Analogue Cartridge Cleaners for dry-cleaning oxidized pins on decades-old games.

The pitch is the same one behind other FPGA hardware such as the ModRetro Chromatic: original cartridges, played on new hardware rather than through ROM files. For collectors who missed the first Super Nt and Mega Sg, Monday morning is the next chance to order one.
