Colin Keep up the awesome videos. i have a few select Creators that i follow that i can actually recall and tell people about at a moments notice without looking them up. You are one of them. Thank You
On loading games from the SD card, Kevtris eventually released a jailbroken firmware for the Analogue NT. There's really no reason to believe that won't eventually happen with the Super NT as well
Very nice review. Although this is technically more expensive than other "clones" compared to the NES version (at a whopping $500) this is much more affordable. I'm thinking about picking one up. Thanks!
Went through star fox last night on this and it was amazing. The slowdown on big explosion and heavy polygon parts were there but ran through then at 60fps.so it was smooth slowdown if that makes any sense lol. The action was seem less . There is no lag. Even compared to the best emulator setup there's no comparison. This is the best snes experience ever
This is the best review of this console as of yet. You touched on things many others that reviewed this same console didn't. It was also really cool that you opened up and gave us a peek at the guts!! The slow down you mentioned is not even slightly a big deal at all. To me 16 bit nintendo games are the sweet spot on the 8 bit to 64 bit bar graph in my opinion. There are just to many pros as opposed to con on justify this buy. The pal/ntsc option makes this buy a no brainer for me. I should have Pre-order mine early. Anyways, I really like your reviews cause they are very straight forward and to the point. This video was ear candy for my GEEK cravings. Keep up the great work!!
Let's see this work with Retro-bit's Genesis//NES to SNES adapters. This might be the end-all be all hommage to classic nintendo console gaming. Kevtris really delivered the goods! For me, it's worth the 190$ for sure. It's compact, got the modern hi-res video output, crystal clear audio, and original controller support. Winner winner chicken dinner!
This is rather interesting piece of tech. The Cyclone V is really a powerhouse. I think, that there must be a lot of LUs free on the fpga itself. If the manufacturer would release some kind of “framework” - lets say pin assignment and constraints for the Quartus - people could “hack” the console and add more features. I can think about some kind of hw speedrun mode for example. Or some kind of tech explenatory mode, that would show how the gamecode itself works.
Pleasant review and I did order one for my self as a birthday present to me, as I like to stream to twitch and wanted a simple workaround. I own a few of the classics that I would love to reply, so can not wait for this to come in the mail!!!
Rob Codispoti Well they have the "gameboy" you use youre phone as an screen etc and have the gameboy buttons and card slot. So yea its kind of the same and it can play original games on it, buuut its still a emulation
The advantage of the NES one is that it can be jailbroken, and then not only can you play ROMS, you can even change the FPGA to emulate the SuperNES, Sega consoles, and a few others I believe (need roms for those obviously, cartridge slot won't transform). Not sure the Super NT can be. You just need to go find the guy who actually created the FPGA program and you can download his jailbroken firmware and off you go.
Got the Analogue Super Nt today (black color, it was the only color they were still accepting pre-orders for as the other three colors are all sold out when I placed my order last month), cannot wait to try it out! Sure came in fast from Analogue shipping it out last Friday coming in to Canada.
Finally! A proper high quality modernised SNES that does not rely on software emulation. Really impressive work and for a good price. Hope they make a similar thing for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.
Mine arrived yesterday, wasn’t expecting a huge visual upgrade over my SNES mini but wow it looks incredible and no compatibility issues with any of my Japanese games.
I like all the reviews I've seen equally. My only gripe is John Hancock's overuse of "a'right" and "just kind of," but that's minutia that only an Aspie like me would be irritated by.
I wouldn't say it's "better", and I definitely wouldn't say it's "worse"!! MJR and Colin look at things from very different perspectives. MJR sees things more from a consumer perspective, where as Colin goes more fo the "why and how" of things... like when it comes to MJR's ultimate Gameboy Advance, MJR will say what has been added and what each upgrade does, focusing on the end result the consumer will notice. Colin on the other hand, if he was given that same Gameboy Advance, would get down into how each upgrade works and why it is or is not an improvement from a more technical standpoint. I think both channels do a great job as they focus on things from different angles, catering to the same community, but turning their attention to different interest groups within that community... it's almost as if they designed the whole "your channel, my channel" differences that way together!!
Just an FYI, scanlines look a lot better at 720p. They become too big at higher resolutions. 720p is also an integer scale of 240p, so there are advantages to playing at a lower setting.
Was able to snag one of the last Black Super NT's before they sold out (all other variants were sold out). Very happy with it I don't have any problems unlike a Snes Mini I was using before, definitely thinking about picking up the Mega Sg before those sell out too.
Fantastic video as always, Colin! I love seeing your reviews and previews :) The Analogue Super NT looks like a great system, I'd love to have one myself.. but that price is way out of my comfort zone. Perhaps one day, if/when they allow jailbreaking and playing ROMs from SD slot, I'd look into it. Still, damned fine piece of kit :)
I just got my Super NT in last Friday 'today's Sunday Feb 2nd' and I've been loving it! Got the US style SNES. If your comfortable with spending $200 I highly recommend this product! Jailbreak firmware is cool too. Though FX games and a handful of others like Mario kart wont run off the SD card currently
I bought one. I love it. Well worth the money. You won't be able to buy one of these 5 years from now and it's the easiest way to play your SNES collection over HDMI. The filters aren't bad, either. Plus, I LOVE the scan lines.
I'd be completely down if the cartridge market wasn't so expensive atm. As it is, I'll put on the back of my list as a "if I've got the extra scratch to afford this AND an Everdrive" option. Thanks for the review
The systems designer released advanced/jailbreak firmware on atariage for the nt mini. It adds support for roms and support for a ton of other consoles. It seems likely that he will do the same for this console.
It's hard to test for lag when playing because it can vary depending on the TV you're using...some are better than others. In general, when I played it everything "felt" right, at least on my TV.
Damn! I was so late about this. Haven't heard this Super NT in where I live. Although, I already bought a SN Pro+ from 8bitdo early this year and was wondering it's specifically modeled after SNES. There's no way of me getting news about this magnificent work without me having to know about Analouge's new GBA-like console first which was announced a few weeks ago.
This does look like an impressive piece of kit. Looks like it's on par with (or even succeeds) Hyperkin's Supaboy. I might like to get one at point, but having both a SNES and a Super Famicom makes it difficult for the time being.
It surpasses Hyperkin's hardware in both accuracy and lag, due to this using an FPGA instead of emulation. Basically, the Super NT can hardware simulate the SNES at full speed and near perfect accuracy. This can't be matched via any other method besides physically recreating the SNES hardware and chips.
Apparently, it's the game they originally wanted to ship -- but had to cut down at the last minute as their publisher didn't want to pay extra for cartridges with higher capacity.
Exactly and im waiting years to see/play this version!!! I hope that Factor5 Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures for the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis that was cancelled in the last minute, will be released/leaked too...
The deepness of the color palette is a lot different than that of a 1 chip snes or snes Jr. with the hd retrovision cables. I think that this is because the FPGA was created using the original design which implemented the Co-Processor. I believe that this was done due to it just being easier to decipher what those chips actually were and for maximum compatibility.
Type C would cost more for no real advantage, and I haven't seen anything use Mini USB since my PS3 - The controllers designed for it by 8bitdo do make use of USB-C as it makes more sense in their case as you will be plugging it in from time to time to charge it.
Frankly, I understand the choice as the connectors are probably cheaper (even given the price tag of the console) and they're so widespread you really don't have to bother. Even if Type C is coming and catching up, the Micro is still here well established. I frankly also went from love to hate on the Micro connectors, from love of the widespread standard you find everywhere to hate of their flimsy nature of a short and tiny connector. Never seen mini USB break or get flimsy over time, but micro? Pretty much all devices I have around. Mini USB was killed for no reason if you ask me. Size wise it's not even much bigger if anything in the end counting lock tabs.
Jailbreak firm is now available for the Super Nt. Now you can play snes games straight from an sd card loaded in the slot on the console! Google the super nt jailbreak firmware! Be advised, look up the snes games that utilizes special chips. Those games can only be played from the actual cartridge or the sd2snes flash cart which has most of the special chipsets.
Given the FPGA, they could easily do a firmware update that allows games to be played off the flash cart. However, as you mentioned in previous videos about clone consoles, this one is probably too good a contender and any options for piracy just paint a bulls-eye on their heads for lawsuits.
There was an in-house developed firmware update released for the Analogue NT mini not long after that made the SD cart slot run roms. A similar update from the console creators has already "leaked" for the Super NT.
I love it the only issue some games don't play if they have that certain chip in it like Pilot wings but over all its well design a little heavy which I like and like I said better picture and sound which sounds way better on surround sound.
They finally did a quality clone console that can also with attachments sold by hyperkin and retrobit, be able to play nes, famicom, genesis, gameboy, gameboy advance. But what about the hyperkin supaboy 1, that console can play all that while also being a portable device and I would prefer that over an snes that while very good, still requires being attached to the tv, but for those who want a great retro console, that would be good with the tv for the better picture.
This will be certainly something to consider if/when my original SNES dies. A shame with the SD card slot, can't be used to save games, in case a battery on a cartridge dies.
i know like others who had said it but analogue need to get to working on a n64 version they would make a killing in profit especially if they make them in all colors. i'm sure that's in the making
Regular snes cartridges are easy to remove, SD2SNES on the other hand i have to do it from one side and i always worry about pulling out a pin or something.
And not forget, it even supports the superscope, that’s right,when analoge nt will release a HDMI to composite adaptor, you can hook it up to an old tv and play yoshi safari on it. Yeah it’s dumb that they did not included av out right out of the box because their famicom version did contain both outputs . The reason why the snes nt is way cheaper is because they use plastic rather then aluminum.
Technically it can load roms off the sd card (eventually), it just needs to be jailbroken like the previous one. I believe they ship it like that to avoid legal issues, etc.
Go find Kevtris site, the dude who actually reverse engineered the consoles and wrote the FPGA program, see if he has jailbroken the Super NT just like he did the Analogue NT. If not, go for the NT mini; it is jailbroken, and that means you can update the FPGA firmware to turn it into a SNES, not to mention Sega consoles and some other stuff.
SNES was my favorite console, If you try to find a good SNES console unless you get lucky you will atleast pay $75.. I have a retropie setup with emulators and while it works good im sure many people will atttest to its in-inaccuracies.. Many games i struggle to play and I know im hitting the buttons fine, Its hard to tell at first but very frustrating.... Still I think this is only for the die hard SNES fan, Im fighting the urge to get one I really want it :)
It is an interesting piece of hardware, definitely not aimed at the "new to gaming" crowd or those that don't have nostalgia for this particular console and don't have game carts, not at that price, but I can see how it can be attractive to the avid collector. I wish they would make a proper Mega Drive and/or Master System that doesn't suffer from the usual problems all those clones have, as those were the top consoles over this side of the pond... Nintendo just wasn't a thing over here until MUCH later in their console making life (with the exception of the Gameboy)... and work on that price a little... One gripe I do have is one I have with all these modern clones, and that is the insistence of using MicroUSB for power, which is very limites in cable section and isn't good with amperage. Now, I don't know what the consumption is for this console in particular, but they tend to always try and counteract this gauge issue by using shorter supply cords, and sometimes, you need those longer options that were more standard with the older consoles. And of course, you can still use a longer, thicker gauge cable, but it's still getting strangled in that microconnector, which is rates at 1.8A, so when you get someone using a 2A or more supply on a RPi because they need those amps, you kind of think about it... But all that is just a personal gripe I have in general with the format that seems to have become the "in" thing. Great review as always, Colin!!
The console says it's rated for 5V at 2A (10W), but I'm not sure it actually draws that much. I was able to power it with the service USB port on two different TVs, one of which is like 10 years old. USB-C would indeed have been nice, but from a practical perspective this console isn't likely to be plugged/unplugged very frequently. As for the Mega Drive/Genesis, that's something Analogue has hinted at...time will tell.
Colin Keep up the awesome videos. i have a few select Creators that i follow that i can actually recall and tell people about at a moments notice without looking them up. You are one of them. Thank You

I almost pre-ordered one, and was more than willing to spend the $189 for a unit, but the $40 domestic ground shipping killed the deal for me.
Lucky yours was only $40, it was like $52 for UK orders
Mine was 40 in the uk. You must be getting the second pre order

With jailbreak now you can play roms from the sdcard

I'm sure Kevtris will add plenty of extra features in updates as he did for the NT mini.
If those wireless controllers don’t significantly add to the input lag then it’s 100% worth it
Love this review! Aaaaaaand subbed!
Pleasant review and I did order one for my self as a birthday present to me, as I like to stream to twitch and wanted a simple workaround. I own a few of the classics that I would love to reply, so can not wait for this to come in the mail!!!
Absolutely worth it what a fine piece of hardware, I'm glad this exists and I'm hoping we see something like a Gameboy from them in the future.

The Ultimate SNES Classic
Tintel more like the cheaper one. (At least for a while.)
No emulator holds a candle to this. I'd brain a baby for one.

Excellent review! I really want one after seeing this. It's nice to see a higher-end good quality option for retro gaming. :D

Hyper qualitiative review man ! thanks
this is THE review I like. almost complete review.. except lag test but I believe you would mention this if there was any issue.
It's hard to test for lag when playing because it can vary depending on the TV you're using...some are better than others. In general, when I played it everything "felt" right, at least on my TV.
There is no lag from the unit. This is why when the analog adaptor comes out it can support supescope that requires no lag
Damn! I was so late about this. Haven't heard this Super NT in where I live. Although, I already bought a SN Pro+ from 8bitdo early this year and was wondering it's specifically modeled after SNES. There's no way of me getting news about this magnificent work without me having to know about Analouge's new GBA-like console first which was announced a few weeks ago.
I would love too have one of these. Thank you for your review.

Very nice review as usual! :)

Great review! Keep up the great work!
I was pretty keen after watching review videos this morning, and the $190 price tag is tempting. But $80 shipping to Australia? Fuck that.
The deepness of the color palette is a lot different than that of a 1 chip snes or snes Jr. with the hd retrovision cables. I think that this is because the FPGA was created using the original design which implemented the Co-Processor. I believe that this was done due to it just being easier to decipher what those chips actually were and for maximum compatibility.
It sucks that they're still using Micro USB instead of switching to the more sturdy Type-C connector.
What difference does it make, it's not something you will be plugging/unplugging a lot - at least it's not a proprietary power connector.
Yeah, it's mainly an issue on phones where they wear out quickly because of all the unplugging, but it should have been Type C or USB Mini.
Type C would cost more for no real advantage, and I haven't seen anything use Mini USB since my PS3 - The controllers designed for it by 8bitdo do make use of USB-C as it makes more sense in their case as you will be plugging it in from time to time to charge it.

Never seen mini USB break or get flimsy over time, but micro? Pretty much all devices I have around.
Mini USB was killed for no reason if you ask me. Size wise it's not even much bigger if anything in the end counting lock tabs.
I haven't used Type-C long enough to be truly convinced it'll fare better - but I agree, I hate dealing with the micro connector, it's too unreliable.
Love your vids man keep them up man

Love from Minneapolis bro!!
Although the Sega Mega Drive HDMI clone you reviewed is pretty awesome for me, this Super NT blows it out of the water.
Oh yeah, night and day difference. Analogue is working on a Mega Drive version, and I think a lot of people will be excited for it.
Fantastic review!
i know like others who had said it but analogue need to get to working on a n64 version they would make a killing in profit especially if they make them in all colors. i'm sure that's in the making

The reason why the snes nt is way cheaper is because they use plastic rather then aluminum.
johneygd other Video signals like RGB will also be supported by the adapter
That NS yes indeed and am very curious about that nt hdmi adaptor about when it will be released.
Great quality video here, on the SNES clone
I like the clear and black...
That's my boy. FF Mystic Quest is underrated imo.
Technically it can load roms off the sd card (eventually), it just needs to be jailbroken like the previous one. I believe they ship it like that to avoid legal issues, etc.
190 USD is 239 CAD right now. Not worth it for me. Neat piece of hardware but I'll stick with my original SNES and play on my CRT.
Wow, I want this now!!!
I'm totally ordering this...omg!

Do it, got mine and it's the best snes experience your get. Even better than the original as its optimised in so many ways
come on! why it can't read ROMs!!!! we have a card slot! we are almost there!!
Go find Kevtris site, the dude who actually reverse engineered the consoles and wrote the FPGA program, see if he has jailbroken the Super NT just like he did the Analogue NT. If not, go for the NT mini; it is jailbroken, and that means you can update the FPGA firmware to turn it into a SNES, not to mention Sega consoles and some other stuff.
Yep. It’s definitely better or just as good as the original.
I have a reliable Super Famicom so it’s hard to justify buying. But, if Analogue makes a similar Mega Drive I’m all in!
Here is an updated link, but as usual with good retro videogame stuff, it's out of stock: www.analogue.co/store/#super-nt
I need that future proof super NT
Buy one, then.
SD Card - a jailbreak firmware exists.... not perfect yet, but it's happening.
Damn, I need this!
This sounds really awesome and I wanted one until I heard you say $190.............. Ill stick to emulators :p lol
yes stick on emulators! save your money!
what all the videos seem to NOT tell you is it';s also $40-45 to ship as well
Justin Saephan That made me smile
thanks Justin
Technically the 190 today is cheaper than the 199 it cost back in 1991
In fact $199 in 1991 is almost $380 in 2018 money so almost half the price
Best review so far.
Thank you!

Its funny.. I Remeber watching this and waiting for my super nt to arrive. Now.. The mega sg is around the corners. Gonna comment again when i get it
So when can I get a FPGA Genesis?
SNES was my favorite console, If you try to find a good SNES console unless you get lucky you will atleast pay $75.. I have a retropie setup with emulators and while it works good im sure many people will atttest to its in-inaccuracies.. Many games i struggle to play and I know im hitting the buttons fine, Its hard to tell at first but very frustrating.... Still I think this is only for the die hard SNES fan, Im fighting the urge to get one I really want it :)
quiksr20, get one while you can or you may regret it
Damn, never seen such technology. This is like the Playstation slim.
Hardware simulation, kevtris engineered the FPGA and is a genius
nice video bro thnx well i love retro game
It is an interesting piece of hardware, definitely not aimed at the "new to gaming" crowd or those that don't have nostalgia for this particular console and don't have game carts, not at that price, but I can see how it can be attractive to the avid collector.
I wish they would make a proper Mega Drive and/or Master System that doesn't suffer from the usual problems all those clones have, as those were the top consoles over this side of the pond... Nintendo just wasn't a thing over here until MUCH later in their console making life (with the exception of the Gameboy)... and work on that price a little...
One gripe I do have is one I have with all these modern clones, and that is the insistence of using MicroUSB for power, which is very limites in cable section and isn't good with amperage. Now, I don't know what the consumption is for this console in particular, but they tend to always try and counteract this gauge issue by using shorter supply cords, and sometimes, you need those longer options that were more standard with the older consoles. And of course, you can still use a longer, thicker gauge cable, but it's still getting strangled in that microconnector, which is rates at 1.8A, so when you get someone using a 2A or more supply on a RPi because they need those amps, you kind of think about it... But all that is just a personal gripe I have in general with the format that seems to have become the "in" thing.
Great review as always, Colin!!
The console says it's rated for 5V at 2A (10W), but I'm not sure it actually draws that much. I was able to power it with the service USB port on two different TVs, one of which is like 10 years old. USB-C would indeed have been nice, but from a practical perspective this console isn't likely to be plugged/unplugged very frequently.
As for the Mega Drive/Genesis, that's something Analogue has hinted at...time will tell.
During an interview the owner of Analogue strongly hinted that a Sega console might already be in development.
If they made a Sega Neptune... Now that would be something all Sega collectors would want!!
