Analogue Super NT and Mega SG restocked today

Those are two perfectly valid reasons.



This is perfectly valid too, but loses the majority of its appeal when the vast, vast majority of owners either run CFW to play ROMs or use a flash cartridge.



Add in the extra cost of a FPGA NES console and you're far above the Mister price point, which would also handle several more extra platforms without the need for any further purchases.

Keep in mind the Super NT and Mega SG are the same hardware internally, they could have easily put out a simple cartridge connector and had one system handle a dozen different formats, much like their up-and-coming handheld.

Again, I'm not shitting on Analogue's products or them as a company. It's just very easy for people to get hyped up and jump headfirst into buying something that might be overkill for their needs when a valid, more economical alternative exists.

Well I jailbroke the Super on Day 1 so I could play ROMs, but the main appeal was for me to be able to play the cartridges. I also like that it has ports for original controllers. I don't know what the Mister has. I assume it has a USB port or two and I can use a USB to SNES adapter but it's more screwing around. I basically just wanted an SNES with an HDMI port.

that being said, I still do want a Mister because I can't see Analogue ever releasing a Vectrex, Coleco, 7800, etc and like you said, the concept of an all-in-one system is great. I dont have cartridges for those obscure systems and I wouldnt want 20 different consoles lying around. It has its place but I just like the console specific idea for the main three retro systems I am going to play- NES, SNES, Genesis. I plan on getting the Duo next. I like the idea of being able to use original media and the Duo plays it all. I guess thats the main appeal for me with those consoles

I question your assertion that the hardware is identical between the Super and the Mega. if theyre just trying to make an extra buck, whyd they pack an adapter with the Mega that can allow you to play Master System games? And whyd they make it so the Pocket can play 4 different systems instead of making you buy 4 different consoles? I would love an all in system that had different cartridge adapters for the dozens of different consoles out there but from what I gather, it's different technology
