Analogue’s Super NT is the best way to play Super Nintendo games

You have a lot of choices when it comes to playing Super Nintendo games, but every method has its down sides — except for maybe the new $190 Super NT from Analogue.

The Super NT is a new console that Analogue built to play Super Nintendo games without emulation on high-definition screens through a HDMI port. But unlike the first Analogue NT system for the NES, which used the actual guts of old NES consoles, the company is diving deeper into its FPGA (field-programmable gate array) circuitry design. These are chips that you can configure to behave however they want through firmware updates.
