Analogue has announced revised editions of its consoles for playing original Sega and Nintendo cartridges.

The Mega Sg+ and Super Nt+ update the company's earlier Mega Sg and Super Nt machines, according to details reported on 16 October 2026 Eurogamer. Pre-orders for both open on 19 October via the Analogue website, with shipping scheduled for December. Analogue's site lists both as "Ships Dec 2026".

Both consoles are priced at US$219.99. The Mega Sg+ comes in Japan, EU and US variants. The Super Nt+ comes in Classic, SF and Black variants.

The originals are not new hardware. The Super Nt launched in 2018 and the Mega Sg launched in 2019. The Plus models keep the same basic job: play old cartridges on a modern television without software imitation.

That is done with an FPGA designed in-house, a chip that recreates the behaviour of original hardware at circuit level. Output is purpose-built 1080p, a high-definition picture tuned for 2D gaming.

Compatibility is the headline. Analogue states the Mega Sg+ is 100 percent compatible with the 2,180+ game Sega Genesis, Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, Mycard Adapter, Mark III and SG1000 cartridge library. The Super Nt+ is stated to be compatible with over 2,200 Super Nintendo and Super Famicom games.

Both machines have a redesigned industrial look. They support wireless controllers over Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, a short-range wireless link commonly used for low-delay game pads. They also add USB-C and USB-A ports The Verge.

Everyday use gets small fixes. Players can hot-swap cartridges — change games without switching the power off — by quitting the current game first. Both consoles can be powered on and off using a controller. A USB-C power supply and cable are included in the box.

What makes this stand out is convenience. Old cartridges still work, but old consoles need adapters and ageing cables to suit flat-panel sets. These machines aim to remove that friction. Dust off the box in the cupboard.
