Hello @Jakdracula 😊 Welcome!

So to answer your question quickly, yes! Analogue’s products are essentially “modernized” retro gaming consoles, with the primary features being true, native, 1080p HDMI output, original cartridge slots, and original controller ports.

However, unfortunately, with this good news, there is also bad news…

I am afraid to say that I think you could be a bit late to the party, depending on what retro gaming console(s) you are interested in. In a move that I and many others frankly don’t really understand, Analogue has sunset many of their flagship products:

• their NES clones, the Nt mini Noir and Nt mini, are no longer being produced
• their SNES clone, the Super Nt, is no longer being produced
• their Sega Genesis/Mega Drive clone, the Mega Sg, is no longer being produced

---

At this time, they have two consoles available for purchase/pre-order:

• their GB/GBC/GBA/Game Gear clone, the Pocket
• their TurboGrafx/PC Engine clone, the Duo

---

So unfortunately, if you are like myself, and many others, while the above two consoles are great, they’re really only just a piece of the big picture 😢 This leaves you with basically two choices, which would be to either buy the Analogue consoles you want from some seller on ebay or something, or you look into a MiSTer.

Fundamentally, the MiSTer is actually an extremely similar device, as it and the Analogue consoles are all based on FPGA technology, which is a type of hardware emulation. However, the look/feel/usability of the MiSTer is quite different.

I don’t want to tell you which one is better, as I think they are remarkably different devices, despite their similar underpinnings. But you’ll definitely find some opinions online if you go looking. As you might expect, some opinions may be more aggressive than others. I think each appeals to its own person, and it would be incorrect to say that one totally covers all of the bases of the other.

And of course, just to try to cover as much as I can here, you will find a more active Analogue community over on r/analogueinc.

Let me know if you have more questions? Hopefully I can help point you in the right direction.
