Analogue announces Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+, $219.99 FPGA consoles shipping in December
by The RetroMake desk 26 October 2026
Analogue's refreshed Super Nintendo and Mega Drive machines add Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz controller support, USB-C power and hot-swappable cartridges, but still top out at 1080p and ship without a controller.
What we know
- Analogue announced the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ on 16 October 2026 at $219.99 each, with pre-orders set to open on 19 October at 8 am Pacific time.
- Both product pages say the consoles ship in December 2026; on 26 October Analogue's store marked the Super Nt+ Classic and Mega Sg+ USA as out of stock.
- The new models add built-in Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz wireless, USB-C power, a USB-A port and hot-swappable cartridges; video output still tops out at 1080p.
- Neither console includes a controller; the Mega Sg+ box includes a Master System cartridge adapter.
- Analogue 3D firmware 3Dos 1.5.1 was released on 23 September 2026, and TIME listed the Analogue 3D among its Best Inventions of 2026 on 15 October.
Analogue is bringing back its two 16-bit FPGA consoles. On 16 October 2026 the company announced the Super Nt+, for Super Nintendo and Super Famicom cartridges, and the Mega Sg+, for Sega Genesis, Mega Drive and Master System games. Each costs $219.99. Analogue set pre-orders to open on its website on Monday 19 October at 8 am Pacific time, and both product pages say "Ships Dec 2026". When we checked Analogue's store on 26 October, the Super Nt+ Classic and the Mega Sg+ USA were both marked out of stock. The company's pages do not say how many units were offered.
The originals, the Super Nt of 2017 and the Mega Sg announced in 2018, were discontinued in 2022, according to Time Extension. The pitch for the new models is the old one: an FPGA that Analogue designed in house rather than software emulation, output built for 2D games at up to 1080p, and original cartridges in the slot. There is no 4K mode, Engadget notes, and Analogue says neither console supports openFPGA.
What changes
The main addition is wireless. Both consoles have Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz built in, with a pairing button for 8BitDo pads, arcade sticks and other modern controllers, and original-style wired controllers still work. Power now arrives over USB-C. A USB-A port is there, in Analogue's words, "for more convenient DAC support"; Analogue DAC is the company's adapter that converts the digital video output to analogue for CRTs and PVMs, and Analogue says the port serves only the DAC or charges controllers. Cartridges can be swapped without powering down, and Engadget reports an SD card slot.
No controller comes in either box. The Super Nt+ ships with an HDMI cable, two cartridge cleaners, a USB-C cable and a 30 W USB-C power supply. The Mega Sg+ adds a Master System cartridge adapter and a Sega CD spacer, and keeps an original-style connector for the Sega CD.
Analogue claims compatibility with more than 2,200 SNES and Super Famicom cartridges and more than 2,180 Sega cartridges, with Game Gear, Mark III, SG-1000 and My Card games needing separate adapters. Polygon reports that Analogue sells 8BitDo controllers for $29.99. The Super Nt+ comes in Classic, SF and Black versions; the Mega Sg+ in USA, EU and JP styles.
The Analogue 3D
The announcement comes a month after a firmware update for the Analogue 3D, the company's console for Nintendo 64 cartridges. 3Dos 1.5.1, dated 23 September, made overclocking and the Force Original Hardware setting adjustable during play and added an "Off" option for overclocking. It also lets owners edit library entries for cartridges the system does not recognise, and it introduced new default settings across the N64 library for Auto Overclock, Horizontal Upscaling and Progressive Output.
On 15 October TIME included the Analogue 3D in its Best Inventions of 2026, citing FPGA hardware in place of emulation, 4K output and display modes that imitate tube televisions.
