Analogue Duo Review - is this $250 TurboGrafx-16 clone worth it?!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

[UPDATE] If you have the newer "Pro" version of the Everdrive that has screws, you can remove the top to get it to fit in the Duo. Mine is an early 2015 model and you need to use a SMALL (I mean really small) hex tool and then you can remove the top. Thanks to everybody who gave me suggestions!

[@AlanThompsonRegularNintendo]

Thanks for the info! I will have to check which one I have.

[@qqq1701]

Take a file to the slot. I'm sure you can open it up a bit to get the Everdrive to fit.

[@mambajoopa]

​@@qqq1701It seems like the slot is big enough as some of the acrylic top goes in. There must be some lip inside that should be easier to remove. Unless it is part of the actual card port.

[@GrandChessboard]

Yeah, you can take over the plastic top of the Ever Drive to use it. Game Sack showed it was an option. Lame but it works.

[@daveserlen6185]

It all depends if you want to remove the rivets permanently you can always put them back together in some sort of way but that's a personal preference I love the review though!

[@EvaFull]

One thing I learned collecting for the TG-16/PC Engine was to purchase the game whenever I found one because you never knew when you would see another one at the Retro Store.

[@tom11zz884]

Their games are rare for sure..especailly the good ones.

[@shane-porter]

Growing up in the UK we didn’t have any NEC consoles, but a friend at school got a PC Engine (he was from Hong Kong) and I borrowed it for a couple of days. I was blown away with the size of the sprites, and the size of the console! Truly one of my core(-grafx) memories from my childhood. (Sorry for the pun.)

[@dreadtheweekend]

I remember reading reviews of the games in Mean Machines magazine in the Uk. I guess at some point it was thought they would launch it in the UK but Sega and Nintendo beat them to the punch with the Megadrive and SNES.

[@yogibear2k220]

Puns is what we do best here in the UK! I never even seen a PC Engine in real life over here. It does look like a good consoles though. Maybe you could of forgot to give it back to your friend and then mysteriously moved... No, not here in the UK. We are too honest! Are you still friends with him?

[@Jakco808]

I really love how you're not just showing off the new products/hardware, but also showing us the history of such systems! I think that's really cool

[@DDavEE]

Gives me hope that one day Analogue will release an updated Mega SG with Sega CD and 32X support built in. Maybe they can call it the Analogue Mega SGX or Mega CDX.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I think the next big Analogue release is the N64, which should be interesting... but maybe a Saturn next?> Who knows.

[@JasonJrake]

Analogue Neptune!

[@joesaiditstrue]

​@@MetalJesusRocksSaturn would be an instant day 1 purchase. I'm actually shocked that they did N64 given how small it's library of games is

[@njevansYT]

you can at least get a Mega SD or the Mega Everdrive Pro which gives you Sega CD support right on the cartridge.

[@joesaiditstrue]

@@njevansYT you're right about that, I believe it supports 32x as well if you connect the proper cable. but I'm hoping someone jailbreaks the Analogue Duo so it can play Sega CD original discs, how awesome would that be?

[@GrigoriRasputin]

I love that these exist. You see less popular media players, original hardware gets more and more difficult to find and not everything is going to be usable forever.

[@Skorpio420]

You lucky bastard!

[@MechaDangerous]

I feel like Analogue is slowly but surely building up to the point of doing something like the Polymega. With the "Library" section of the OS, the only thing that's really missing there is a storage drive attached to install those games to. They proved that they can do this fantastic hardware and recreate these amazing retro experiences that sell extremely well, and the Analogue OS, while still pretty young, is shaping up to be really good. I think it would be a homerun for that team. Great video as always, @MetalJesusRocks! Keep up the great work!

[@leatherhidegaming]

Not really. The Pocket supports a bunch of systems but they've recently announced their version of the N64. Sadly no multi system like the Pocket.

[@ScubaDiverPicker]

Polymega isnt fpga

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

Mine's en route, can't wait. I've had my TG-16 for a few years (always wanted one as a kid but never had the chance back in the day), so I've got a handful of games but I'm looking forward to importing tons of PC Engine titles now. As for the price, feel free to browse listings for what original hardware is going for nowadays. This thing is half the price of a proper Duo and twice the hardware because it's region-free.

[@Daniel-it1dp]

Analogue reported that it would support the Turbo EverDrive but you’d have to remove a case like you have if one was installed. Would really be interested if it did work.

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I had a tg16, turbo duo and express when I was younger. I chose that over a Genesis. I never regretted it. I think since I have no games I would look into the market before buying one but man do I want one of these. I also recently passed on picking up a tg16 for 250$ at my game store. Metal Jesus you should do a tg16/pc engine video! This was great thank you!

[@JL-yl8gd]

The turbo express was pretty slick. My sisters first husband (bf at the time) borrowed one from a friend and let me use it for awhile. Would have loved my own but I was prolly 11 years old and could hardly afford games for my tg16

[@JL-yl8gd]

Such a nice display for its time.

[@720jlconner]

I remember growing up my uncle worked at BFI Garbage and he would get so much new stuff for free that companies threw away like bunch of sony stuff, all the game consoles and games. For xmas one year he gave me a turbo graphx 16 with all the games, turbo cd, and the handheld turbo graphx system. Loved it. Final lap was a favorite as well as all the bonk games.

[@bdillmore40]

I love when young people discover old video games that are "new" to them! Makes me happy!

Mine is on its way. Looking forward to testing it out. I hope there is a something to do about the everdrive issue. Great video covering this.

[@scottlinux]

At this point Analogue should just make an all-in-one system that takes various carts in FGPA (genesis, snes, nes, tg16, gameboy, etc).

[@andyosei3374]

They wont make the most money that way..make different consoles to maximize profits. lol but one can wish

The rumor is that Hyperkin is working on that. Hopefully, it's true.

[@braddl9442]

Based on the early reivews, its half baked on the software end. A lot of stuff works, but there are a lot of bugs. Im sure they will get sorted out over the next year, but its software is not fully realized yet.

[@MaidenHell1977]

I see everyone is dropping videos today for this thing. Still not sold out, not surprising.

[@chicknwings]

Now I’m just waiting on mine to get here. Been waiting for this one. It does look smaller than the PC Engine Duo. 👀

[@Yugge]

The FAQ for the Duo does mention removing the acryllic top to use an everdrive, so that is def something you missed!

[@MetalJesusRocks]

I believe that's the Pro model of the Everdrive, which I don't have.

[@Yugge]

@@MetalJesusRocks The top should be removable on both (thankfully) :)

[@MetalJesusRocks]

Nope. The early 2015 model I have has rivets. I suppose you could take a file or cutters and attempt to rip it off...but certainly not as easy as screws with newer Everdrives.

[@Rabbitlord108]

I was watching Game Sack's video on this thing when the notification for this popped up (Update. Also Joe got the Turbo Everdrive Pro to work with the Duo by removing the outer casing for it)

[@Louie_The_Dago]

I remember the turbo grafx16 being hooked up at a Kmart in like 1990 for people to try out. But it was too expensive for anyone to afford at the time.

[@martinmayhemsretrorundown]

Cheers mate, I ordered one today. Looking forward to playing my PC engine and Turbografx games on it. Keep on gaming 👍

[@geldofpunk32]

Such a niche market, I can't imagine they think they will make a profit on these

[@shess412]

I love that they picked the TurboDuo as the plastic shell design and not something generic. I've had my PC Engine Duo for a number of years now and love it! You definitely need to pick up some of the Bomberman games for some classic party gaming. And I'm glad you showcased Buster Bros because it is a super fun game to just pick up and play with a friend.

[@thefifthdoctor6780]

Eagerly awaiting this. Pretty impressed with the image quality, even with going through KZbin. Happy with my Polymega but this may be the premium way to play TG/PCE games for me.

[@theyettiden]

Is it just me or does the Analogue Duo's audio feel less compressed, more dynamic, and rounder in the mid range? I'm wondering if the drop in volume is due to less compression/bit crushing? Not to experienced with the emulation or the original system, but was intrigued by the audio difference. Love the idea of the Analogue having just a touch more dynamics, and spaciousness to the audio experience.

[@theshadowman1398]

Looks pretty cool. But I am desperately waiting for their reimagining of the N64.

[@bgjck]

I am huge into video game collecting and I use Emulation a lot because of games/ consoles that are harder to get or that I haven't been able to find/ pickup. I also love using flash carts on systems that I already have and I think it's cool that even a collector as big as you still uses flash carts even if it's just on a more niche of a console.

[@SNKev411]

All you have to do is remove the outer casing to make the Everdrives work. But the fact that you have to do that is still annoying regardless.

[@dwightdixon8508]

This will look great along side with my TurboDuo which I’ve had since it’s release and absolutely love it. IMO it’s the most beautiful console ever made. Wish Analogue would have placed the controller port on the front as the OG cords are extremely short but I prefer them for the 3 turbo settings and feel great. Minor complaint. DAC support is a must and their store indicated DAC will work with all Analogues future products so yeah I’m expecting that. Analogue really should have designed the card slot to be more like original cuz that tiny slot is disappointing

[@collin1240]

Having to sell my original TG-16 and may games back when I was having financial troubles in the mid 90s was unfortunate. If I was tempted to try to rebuild the collection, I would love to do it on a system like this. But I'm not sure if it's worth the time and money at this point. Very cool though.

The Everdrive works just fine; you need only remove the top of the ED’s case to make it fit.

Back around 2000/2001, I was in college and the school was in a very rural area. Even further out in the no man's land of rural Georgia was a "town" that was nothing more than a stop sign intersection. And on that intersection was a MASSIVE, killer thrift shop. I found a CIB Turbo Grafx 16 there once, and it was the first and only time I'd ever seen one until Retro Gaming shops became a thing. I have no clue why this system was so obscure but I guess unless you lived in much larger cities and shopped department stores, this system practically "didn't exist" for most of us. Still, I always wondered how that single TG-16 ended up in Bowman, GA.

12 bit games were the high standard when these were popular in Japan. Were talking about Double Dragon, Street Fighter, and such being the cream of the crop. A very good number of it's titles are better looking than the arcade versions. If you wanted the arcade at home this was it!

My biggest problem is the prices and lack of accessability of PC-Engine games like you said. I love my PC-ENGINE mini! It included a generous portion of games. I wish I could get Double Dragon II CD at a cheaper price. I've always been a huge fan of the PC-ENGINE color palette and some of the best arcade ports I have ever seen on a console.

HuCards are so cool and capture the interest of collectors. I'm sure it only skyrockets the value. The fact most people didn't have this system and are curious makes it even more of a collectors item. I didn't have one but I followed the console closely back in the day when I was a teenager. I was blown away at store displays even when it was next to it's rivals. The nostalgia of what I remember and wanting to actually experience what I missed led me to buying the PC-ENGINE mini.

For those who are complaining about the narrow hu card slot - my theory is that Analogue recognise that although they don’t endorse it…the community will produce custom firmware that will enable games to be played from and saved to those SD cards thus making the need for everdrives redundant…thus the slots are designed not for “redundant everdrives” but for original game playing. Analogue will never admit this as they can’t legally endorse people playing Roms they don’t own although that is what everbody does on all of their consoles.

Awesome review. I appreciate you pointing out that the system is region free. But I have to ask, on Analogue's website, the black model says "USA" while the the white model says "JPN". Why is that? What the Turbo originally white in Japan, and black in the USA? or are these units region locked? Seriously confused.

[@stoomkracht]

Yup the PC Engine by Hudson Soft/NEC was white in Asia and way more compact. In America they think bigger and dark is better so they got a (way) bigger black box. Prefer Japanese design. Amazingly compact, even more so for the time. If only it came with 2 controller inputs.
