Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ listed out of stock after pre-order launch

The new FPGA cartridge consoles add wireless controller support and USB-C, with December shipping listed and several accessories sold separately.

Analogue’s Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ were listed as out of stock on the evening of 19th October. Pre-orders launched earlier in the day. The refreshed Super Nintendo and Mega Drive cartridge consoles cost $219.99 each, with December shipping listed for the new production run.

The store marks the Classic and SF Super Nt+ finishes as unavailable, alongside all three Mega Sg+ variants. The Black Super Nt+ product page also displays an out-of-stock notice, even though the store’s main listing does not show the same label beside its name.

Analogue announced the machines on 16th October and scheduled pre-orders for 4pm UK time on 19th October. The Black Super Nt+ page offers an email notification option for future availability.

Wireless support and USB-C for the cartridge consoles

Both machines add built-in Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless controller support. They retain connections for original-style wired controllers, while USB-C supplies power and a USB-A socket serves Analogue DAC or controller charging.

The USB-A port does not support wired USB gamepads or data transfer. Controllers are separate purchases, so the console price does not include a wireless pad.

Super Nt+ accepts Super Nintendo and Super Famicom cartridges. It outputs through HDMI at up to 1080p and has an SD card slot for firmware and operating-system support.

Mega Sg+ comes in USA, EU and JP variants. It accepts Genesis and Mega Drive cartridges and includes a Master System cartridge adapter. Game Gear, Sega My Card and Mark III/SG-1000 adapters are sold separately.

Owners of an original Sega CD or Mega CD also have a connection for the add-on. Mega Sg+ includes a Sega CD spacer in the box, alongside an HDMI lead, cartridge cleaners, USB-C cable and power supply.

Super Nt+ includes the same core accessories, without the Sega-specific adapter and spacer. The supplied power units accept worldwide input voltages but use USA/Japan plug types, a detail UK buyers should check before ordering.

Both consoles retain display and audio settings from their predecessors and support PAL and NTSC video standards. Analogue lists region-free cartridge support, with each machine built around an Altera Cyclone V FPGA.

Neither supports openFPGA. They also omit the save states, overclocking, screenshot capture and advanced 4K display modes offered by Analogue 3D, so the refresh does not bring those features to SNES or Mega Drive cartridges.

Built-in games from the earlier models are absent too. Super Nt+ excludes Super Turrican Director’s Cut, while Mega Sg+ excludes Ultracore. Buyers need their own cartridges for either system.

The new run follows the discontinuation of the earlier Super Nt and Mega Sg lines, announced in 2022. Its main hardware changes concern wireless connections and power rather than higher-resolution video output.

Analogue’s Super Nt+ and Mega Sg+ pages carry the specifications, while the official shop lists current availability.
