Analogue Super NT - orders and shipping(Now you're playing with SUPER POWER)

Yep, just like the AVS.
Yes, the Cyclone V could handle all those systems and even the Neo-Geo if the Super NT had enough ram, but any new cores Kevtris makes will be for future standalone consoles. He gave us all those 8-bit cores for free because he was sitting on them for years and Analogue probably has no interest making standalone hardware for them.

Kevtris used the SD2SNES while designing the Super NT, so FlashCarts will work fine.

So, I can't find this anywhere, but has the original NT Mini been discontinued for good, or will it ever come back?
If I knew that rom-loading was definitely coming along with the support the Mini NT has already I would buy this in a heartbeat, but aesthetically, I really like the look of the original NT Mini.

The biggest question in my mind lately has stlll been those Retro-Bit compilation carts (Jaleco Brawlers Pack, The Joe & Mac Collection, the upcoming R-Type Returns) I mentioned before, and whether or not they will work with this. I would imagine they would, but I'd love to be sure. Is there somewhere to contact Analogue and ask?
The Super NT might be the replacement for the NT Mini. If kevtris releases a jailbreak that includes all the systems the Mini supported then the Mini instantly becomes obsolete. He most likely has plans for reasonably priced pin adapters for all the hardware those systems supported if you still want to use the original carts and controllers like he did for the Mini.
I've been trying to figure this out for weeks and haven't found an answer. Nobody seems to know. I've contacted Analogue and they haven't bothered to respond.
I asked them yesterday, and I was told they are shipping the first 2 weeks of Feb.
Yep, got hold of a Krikzz one.
I can't understand why Analogue would prevent the release of a jailbroken firmware when the console for which it could "cannibalise" the sales isn't even available to buy.
If I was in Kev's position, basically doing all of the leg-work for the development of the console, I'd perhaps expect to have certain "freedoms" specified in the contract.
But really, is this an Analogue product, for which Kevtris has done the development? Or a Kevtris product for which Analogue are doing the manufacturing and distribution? So who really calls the shots?
It's all just speculation right now anyway. We're unlikely to get an official answer before release, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

It will connect via the HDMI port. Ugly or not will be subjective. I might like it, you might think it's ugly. Time will tell I guess.
If it works on the real SNES, it should work on the Super NT.
I could only do it for an obscene amount lol.
Kevtris seems to be the only person who can turn around a project like this in a year. It's a very niche skillset. So he probably has a lot of power in negotiation. Ideally Analogue is licensing the cores from him and he retains all control. It just depends on what type arrangement they got into. Kevtris seems like a great guy that is really into giving back to the community, so I wouldn't be overly concerned.
They seem to be going for $900+ on ebay, so it's probably not worth it unless you are a collector.
so like the snes mini this is powered by usb correct?
so I can buy any usb power adapter and that will work?

$5500 USD. That would be just over 10x what I paid for it from Analogue. ($449 + $37.53s/h)
I think it's far more likely that they'll release a lower cost version of the NES console, which has a plastic shell and only hdmi output. Cartridge adapters were never actually released for the Nt Mini. They might eventually come out but it's hard for me to believe Analogue's core product lineup will be dependent on them.
Analogue hasn't provided a single clue yet, but I would expect more info by the time the Super Nt starts to ship in roughly 2-3 weeks.
For anybody who already owns an 8bitdo SN/SF 30 2.4G controller and is hoping to use it on a Super Nt, I don't think it's going to be compatible.
This is what you'll own at the moment, it says 2.4G Wireless Controller on the front.
To use a 8bitdo controller with a real SNES you'll need the 8bitdo Retro Receiver but on the Retro Receiver page it says that it's not compatible with the above controller.
On the Analogue Super Nt they advertise a controllerwith the same nameand the pre-order page for it on Amazon gives it a launch date of February 1st 2018. Now although this controller has the same name you'll notice that the writing is a different colour and it actually says Bluetooth Controller under the logo, which is compatible with the Retro Receiver.
Although 8bitdo haven't been very clear about the two versions of that controller, it seems that if you already own one and we're hoping to use it on the Super Nt, you're not going to be able to. I have visions of people getting their console at launch unboxing it and they're just not going to be able to use it because they don't have a compatible controller.
Just thought it was worth pointing that out incase somebody here already owns one and thinks that it's going to work.

Eh, the one I bought well over a year ago for my NT says bluetooth on it, so this is not universally true. If you check on amazon they appear to have both types available for sale. I'm not sure if they are compatible, but all the 2.4G ones on amazon appear to be aimed at the nes/snes classic.
TSM
Most 8bitdo controllers are bluetooth compatible but not the version that I've posted about, that's a pretty recent release and the bluetooth version is still listed as unreleased by 8bitdo. Amazon state it's launched the same day as the Super Nt.
They have loads of bluetooth controllers that will be compatible with the Analogue consoles via the Retro Receiver.

Ah, I read your original comment incorrectly. Yeah, for whatever reason they appear to be aiming their 2.4G devices exclusively at the nes/snes classic. I'm not sure what the rationale is for having two different standards. Basically do not buy the 2.4G versions if you want to use them with anything other then the nes/snes classic. If you already own the controllers you seem to be out of luck.
That's it.
I've only just noticed it and I've not seen it mentioned elsewhere but I just didn't want people at launch not being able to play it because it hadn't explained very well.
I already own a 8bitdo bluetooth controller and the 2.4G I mentioned I also ordered the newer bluetooth model that launches at the beginning of February too. As far as I was aware they would all be compatible with my Retro Receivers because they just haven't been clear about the whole thing. It wouldn't really matter to me as I already have a bluetooth controller.
The 2.4G controllers seem to be cheaper than the bluetooth ones so they're fine if you do have one of the Nintendo mini consoles. I have visions of people buying the wrong ones.

Honestly, I'd avoid using any kind of repros as they have questionable quality. Either original carts or something like an SD2SNES is all I would recommend using.
Not really obsolete since many will still want to use original carts and controllers. I see them making a more inexpensive NT Mini with plastic casing over releasing the NES core to Super NT users.
I'm waiting on the 8bitdo controllers because I already have a lot of SNES+ SFC controllers. That and I want to see how reviews of the controller with the console come out.
I'll let you know as soon as mine gets here. I have the black console + black controller coming.
Thanks!
BTW, what set up are you playing on?
Like what's your TVs ms lag etc
Until the DAC item is done, I'll be using a AOC computer monitor. When I get the DAC item, I'll be on CRT. A Sony KV-27FV310, Sony PVM-20L2MD, and Ultrak CM1900CN.
I love the 310 the most. It was bought not a month ago, new in the box/sealed still. That's my main crt to use with the Super NT when I can.
That was a real lucky find. My main CRT is a 27" Sharp, have an HD Wega and a 14" PVM. But likely the Super NT will be on the HDTV as I have original SNES hardware on the CRTs. But with the DAC and SNT performance, that may change.
Here are the only actual photos I've found:

I own a 2010 Panasonic G25 Plasma and a Sony KV-32FS210 which is an SD model CRT with dual component inputs.
All I know is my Plasma's input lag is good enough where I can beat Mike Tyson via my AVS.
Nice. I was fully prepared to be cynical with a date slip but I'd suspect they wouldn't drop a ship out date unless the common hold ups like customs was already cleared.
Waiting for mine too. I have a pre-order for one of the SN30 controllers for it at Amazon also despite my misgivings about the dpad (wasn't impressed with the NES30 that came with my NT mini).
There's something ironic about running retro games on a cutting edge OLED TV. :)

Good to know about February 7th.
I really can't wait to get mine, the first game I try will probably will more than likely be my Super Famicom version of Super Mario World 2. It'll be great if they do add more features to the console moving forwards but I will be completely happy if they don't allow to rip ROMs, I'm happy with the feature set as it is although extras would be a hell of a bonus.

I was leaning towards black but in the pictures it looks somewhat plain. Hmm... I wish I could see more pictures of the actual finished product.Here are the only actual photos I've found:

I went for the boring SNES purple. I was too clouded by nostalgia to consider any of the other colours...
50$ shipping to Germany. That makes 240$ without a controller and customs. I don't care for a controller (just use my SFC ones) but I would probably buy a Super NT if the shipping wouldn't be so ridiculously expensive.
I have a MiSTer, none of those cores are perfect. Far from it actually.
