Review of the Analogue Super NT

For some of us, the memories of playing our classic Super Nintendo systems will stay with us for a long long time. Unfortunately, Nintendo’s hardware probably won’t. Many classic SNES games can be repurchased and/or emulated on our modern systems, however, if you really want the flawless playback of old SNES cartridges but with modern high-def support capability, you will probably need something like the Analogue Super NT.

The Analogue Super NT uses an FPGA chip to serve as the processors from Nintendo’s old systems which works superbly. Super NT plays all the titles in the Super Nintendo lineup as well as those old Japanese-only Super Famicom games with zero lag, something even the best emulators struggle with, which means if you’re one of those diehards that want to track down the old Japanese games via eBay, Amazon, Etc. this will fit your purposes as well. I couldn’t find a game in my collection that didn’t work with it, testing titles like Super Metroid, Star Fox, and Mega Man X, all look razor sharp. in some cases, they look even better than the original or even the recent SNES classic system that was released. If you’re not a stickler for the “ authentic” playback it offers some nice features for you to stretch your resolution to widescreen, boost brightness, tweak the scan lines, and blur or unblur pixels.

The system seems totally compatible with 8Bitdo ‘s SN30 Controller, which looks and feels just like a wireless SNES controller. it also allows you to remotely power on and off the system and has an internal battery that lasts close to 20 hours. the Analogue Super NT is a fun high-tech little Gadget and it might just be the best way to relive those Glory Days you remember from Super Nintendo, just be prepared to pay like a hardcore enthusiast. At last check, the console retailed for roughly 189 US dollars and the controllers retail for roughly 39.99 each. I hope this review was helpful and I welcome all questions and comments.
