Analogue Updates Super Nt and Mega Sg with Wireless Controls and USB-C Power

Key points

• The Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ are revised editions of Analogue’s 2018 and 2019 consoles, featuring a redesigned industrial case.
• Both consoles use in-house FPGA technology to run original cartridges natively, avoiding software emulation and ensuring zero lag.
• New features include built-in Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless connectivity for controllers, USB-C power input, and a USB-A port for peripherals.
• Users can now hot-swap cartridges without powering down the console and can turn the system on or off using the primary controller.
• Pre-orders open on October 19 for $219.99, with units shipping in December; no controllers are included in the box.
• The Mega Sg+ supports over 2,180 Sega titles, while the Super Nt+ supports over 2,200 Nintendo titles, both region-free.

Background

Analogue originally launched the Super Nt in 2018 and the Mega Sg in 2019, establishing a niche for high-fidelity retro hardware. The company previously released the Analogue 3D for Nintendo 64 titles, which offered 4K upscaling, but the new 16-bit consoles cap resolution at 1080p. The broader retro hardware market has seen increased competition, including Epilogue’s USB-C cartridge adapters and FunnyPlaying’s budget FPGA handhelds, though Analogue maintains a premium position with its dedicated console form factor.

How outlets are covering it

Eurogamer emphasizes the 'industrial' redesign and the decade of development behind the new FPGA chips, highlighting the 'rock solid' nature of the hardware. The Verge focuses on the practicality of USB-C power and the convenience of wireless controllers, noting that the consoles look very similar to their predecessors despite the redesign. Gizmodo highlights the aesthetic appeal of the consoles and mentions the potential for limited-edition colorways, while also noting the lack of included controllers. Engadget points out that while the consoles offer a seamless experience, users must purchase compatible controllers separately, such as 8BitDo’s M30 and SN30 models, which cost an additional $30 each. All sources agree on the core specs: 1080p output, no 4K support, and the absence of emulation.

Why it matters

The release of the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ addresses long-standing user requests for modern connectivity and convenience in retro gaming hardware. By integrating wireless controls and USB-C power, Analogue makes its premium FPGA consoles more accessible for modern setups without compromising on the accuracy of native cartridge playback. This move solidifies Analogue’s position in the retro hardware market, offering a bridge between vintage games and contemporary user expectations for wireless and compact power solutions.

What to watch

Pre-orders for the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ begin on October 19, 2026, at 8 AM PT. Shipping is expected to commence in December 2026. Consumers should budget for additional costs if they do not already own compatible wireless controllers, as none are included in the box. The consoles will be available in multiple regional variants (Japan, EU, US for Mega Sg+; Classic, SF, Black for Super Nt+).
