If you’re in love with retro gaming we have some great news for you. The Analogue Nt, a stunning NES and Famicom remake, is now available for pre-order, shipping later this summer.
The Analogue Nt is a brand new console that takes you back to the old days, and it does it in style. It’s designed for retro enthusiasts, cartridge collectors and everyone passionate about old school gaming.
The aluminium exterior takes its design cues from the original NES but comes with a very modern twist. It’s carved out of a single block of aluminium but it offers the exact original ports and expansions as the NES and Famicom.
On the inside the Analogue Nt features the exact same CPU as the original NES offering 100% compatibility with all of your old cartridges and even all of the peripherals. Supposedly there’s no chance of games crashing because there’s no emulation going on.
The company also sells refurbished or new controllers (the console box just comes with an AC adapter) as well as an HDMI adapter that upscales your 8-bit games to full HD, and even generates scan lines so your old Duck Hunt Zapper gun now works with your brand new TV.
And while all of this sounds perfect it does come at a premium. The Analogue Nt is available for $499, with controllers coming in at $30 or $50. This certainly isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a serious old school gamer this might just be your dream device.
Interested folks can pre-order here but keep in mind that shipping only starts later this summer.
