Analogue Brings Back Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ With Wireless Controllers and USB-C

October 23, 2026

Two much-loved cartridge consoles are back. On 16 October 2026, Analogue announced the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+, updated FPGA systems built to play original Super Nintendo and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis games on modern displays. Preorders opened on 19 October at $219.99 each, with December shipping planned. The company's product pages currently show both systems as out of stock, so availability may change.

What has actually changed?

Both models now include built-in Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless controller support, removing the need for a separate wireless receiver with compatible pads. They also gain USB-C power, a USB-A connection for Analogue DAC support or charging, revised cases and operating systems, and the ability to change cartridges after quitting to the menu without shutting the machine down. Original-style wired controllers remain supported.

SNES and Mega Drive cartridges, not downloaded ROMs

The Super Nt+ targets original Super Nintendo and Super Famicom cartridges, with region-free PAL and NTSC support. The Mega Sg+ covers Mega Drive and Genesis cartridges, plus Master System games via an included adapter; other Sega formats require optional adapters or compatible original hardware. Both use an Altera Cyclone V FPGA to reproduce console behaviour in hardware, outputting up to 1080p over HDMI. Analogue's compatibility claims are the manufacturer's own and are not a substitute for independent testing of every unusual cartridge or accessory.

Important limitations for buyers

These are focused cartridge players, not all-purpose emulation boxes. Analogue says there is no support for loading copyrighted ROM files, openFPGA, 4K output or save states. Games and controllers are sold separately. The included universal-voltage power supply has a US/Japan-style plug, so UK buyers should account for a suitable adapter, shipping costs and any applicable import charges.

Console Revive take

We're pleased to see new hardware that keeps physical 16-bit collections playable. The most useful upgrades are practical ones: easier wireless controllers, modern power and straightforward HDMI output. But anyone who already owns an original console and a good video setup may not need to replace it. For collectors, the real decision is whether those conveniences justify the import price and the loss of original analogue output without an additional DAC.
