Ostentatious retro hardware boutique manufacturer, Analogue Interactive - best known as the company behind the £400 / $649 wooden SNK Neo Geo CMVS - has begun taking pre-orders on a $499 modern take on the NES and Famicom entitled the Analogue Nt.
Like the wooden SNK Neo Geo CMVS before it, the Analogue Nt is a contemporary interpretation of old hardware with some spruced up features. Chief among these is that it has four controller ports, unlike the original NES or Famicom hardware. Furthermore, it supports HDMI 1080p/720p output (but this requires a separate $49 HDMI Adapter), RGB, Component, and S-Video Composite cables.
The manufacturer noted that its HDMI cables are "a true upscaler (no stretching) and [that it] outputs 1080p or 720p perserving the original aspect ratio. It even has a built in scanline generator for that retro CRT feel."
