Analogue has announced the return of its discontinued 16-bit FPGA consoles with the introduction of the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+. These updated models, scheduled to begin shipping in December 2026, modernize the hardware of the original Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis recreations while maintaining the same focus on hardware-level accuracy rather than software emulation.
Pre-orders for both consoles are scheduled to open on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. PDT. Both the Super Nt+ and the Mega Sg+ are priced at $219.99 each.
The primary hardware revisions address long-standing friction points found in the original models. Most notably, both consoles now feature integrated wireless support for both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz controllers. In previous versions, users were required to use external dongles to connect modern wireless controllers; the new “+” models allow for direct syncing out of the box.
Analogue has also modernized the power delivery system, replacing the aging micro-USB standard with a USB-C port. Each console will ship with a 30W GaN USB-C power supply. Additionally, a new dedicated USB-A port has been added to the back of the units to support the Analogue DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter) for use with CRT televisions, or for charging accessories.
While the consoles utilize the same Altera Cyclone V FPGA chip found in the originals, they run on a new operating system that enables a “hot-swap” feature. This allows players to switch physical game cartridges without a full power cycle; users can simply quit to the system menu, swap the cartridge, and reload.
In terms of visual output, the Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ retain a maximum resolution of 1080p. While the upcoming Analogue 3D is designed for 4K output to handle the complexities of N64 era graphics, Analogue is maintaining the 1080p ceiling for these 16-bit machines to keep hardware costs lower while providing more than enough overhead for 2D pixel art.
The consoles continue to feature original legacy controller ports on the front, ensuring compatibility with original SNES and Genesis gamepads. However, the consoles do not include controllers in the box; those must be purchased separately or provided by the user.
Aesthetics remain a priority for the relaunch, with multiple regional colorways available for each system. The Super Nt+ will be available in “Classic” (North American purple), “SF” (Super Famicom/European multi-color), and a “Black” variant. The Mega Sg+ will offer “USA,” “EU,” and “JP” editions, each mimicking the specific color accents and branding styles of the original Sega Genesis and Mega Drive consoles from those territories.
