The Super NT is Analogue’s most affordable console yet

A more powerful console for less than half the price The Super NT is the latest, and most affordable, retro console from Analogue, the manufacturer of the luxe, but for many prohibitively expensive, NT and NT mini.
While the NT and NT mini simulated a Nintendo Entertainment System, the Super NT simulates a Super Nintendo thanks to a “bigger, more powerful, more expensive FPGA” (field-programmable gate array) chip at the core of the console.
The Super NT console itself comes in four variants: Black, Super NES, Super Famicom and clear, with each variant including multiple kinds of plastic and different textures of plastic.
The FPGA that Analogue has chosen is the Altera Cyclone V, which will simulate the original Super Nintendo hardware, as opposed to emulating it in software, so your cartridges won’t know they’re not being run on original hardware, but you enjoy benefits like 1080p HDMI output with no lag and 100 percent library compatibility, thanks to the programming work of Analogue’s Kevin Horton, aka Kevtris.
