One year ago, retro console maker Analogue unveiled the Super Nt – a premium console designed to play Super NES games on a modern display with low latency and excellent visual quality. At Digital Foundry we reviewed the final unit when it released a few months later and were suitably impressed. The level of accuracy and suite of features on offer is certainly impressive and we feel it’s the best option for playing Super NES games on a flat panel. With NES and Super NES now covered by the Analogue line we wondered what might be next.
Well, today, we finally have the answer. Following in the footsteps of the moderately priced Super Nt, Analogue has unveiled the Mega Sg. Well, today, we finally have the answer. Following in the footsteps of the moderately priced Super Nt, Analogue has unveiled the Mega Sg. Coming in at £140 or $189 and due to ship next April, the Mega Sg is designed to play just about every pre-Saturn Sega game including Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, Mark III, SG1000, SC-3000 and more. The Mega Sg ships with a Master System adapter but the older machines will require a separate adapter which will be sold separately. It’s even possible to connect a Sega Mega CD to the unit if you happen to own one. The only pre-Saturn console not supported by the Mega Sg is the 32X – though we wouldn’t rule it out entirely just yet.
The system will ship in four variants – three based on the primary regions in which the Mega Drive/Genesis was sold and a lovely white unit. Each system is housed in plastic like the Super Nt – a decision which allowed Analogue to pursue a more reasonable price last year. If the Super Nt is anything to go by, however, the plastics should be significantly thicker and more durable than an original Mega Drive console.
