DF Retro: Analogue Super Nt Review - a 21st Century SNES!

This week, DF Retro tackles Analogue's Super Nt - an FPGA based console designed to play Super NES games via HDMI. Analogue boasts perfect accuracy but is that really the case? We put the system to the test using challenging games known to cause problems with most software emulators. How does it stack up? The answers and more in this week's episode of DF Retro

I just want to throw this out here - yes, the intro stuff is intentionally flashy. Why? I got a new camera and I'm trying to work on improving my editing skills. That's it. That's is THE reason why I made it this way. I need to have fun with editing these videos and I DID have fun making it. I hope to do the same for my next hardware focused episodes (which includes...the Jaguar, of all things). I really did put a lot of work into the intro stuff. I'm sure it'll sink away and nobody will care but I enjoyed doing it.

[@IamNOVAone]

John Linneman Guess not everyone appreciates the effort.

[@andrewperkin7192]

I like the intro alot

[@PhenomSage]

It was a wicked cool intro John, I love all of the extra effort and passion you put into DF Retro.

[@MrSlashStudios]

The camera shots look great! Kind of like the Game Sack console episodes, and that's a huge compliment :)

[@FistingGuru]

Good video John

[@Sanjinator1]

This guy's DF Retro series is one of the best things on KZbin and probably 'THEE' best when it comes to factual gaming content. No BS to be found, no gimmicks, jokes, cringy shit. Content that won't seem dated in 10-20 years time unlike many other channels. Just extremely professional.

[@the8thark]

My Life In Gaming do better retro console videos. If you are buying the Super Analogue NT then you care about getting the most out of the console and that's where My Life In Gaming shine, much more than Digital Foundary do.

[@mjc0961]

I have to second the nod to My Life In Gaming. I've always felt DF Retro is at its best when it's doing a deep dive into a single game. When it comes to hardware, DF Retro is still doing a good job, but My Life In Gaming does it better. Both are excellent and will stand the test of time well to be sure.

[@whatsmyname481]

My life in gaming focus on retro gaming while DF does EVERYTHING, they both amazing

[@pferreira1983]

THIS!

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

You and My Life in Gaming did an amazing job covering this, keep at it dude

[@KhasrouhRecords]

dude i missed your videos ! why dont you upload new videos ? maybe you are busy living your life and taking a break but i hope you come back because you are the best and i like your content !!

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

yes! both are the best reviews!

[@MoviesNGames007uk]

Adam Koralik

[@DragonPop64]

hey alpha , could u try to make serious and more mature videos like this? doesnt have to be on this same scale but you got potential. ur channel could do so much more in promoting true gaming culture and community

[@dark1x]

Thanks man! Love your work too! Hope to see more soon!

[@Agn0sticus]

Don't let the comment section get to you, you are doing a great, GREAT job all at DF and there is no channel that matches you in your field. This video is no exception! The problem is that the big majority that enjoys your videos is silent, maybe throws in a like here and there. That way the loud and nasty get more attention, unfortunately. Trying to change that starting with this comment :)

[@IamNOVAone]

It’s always a good Sunday when Digital Foundry posts a DFRetro video.

[@TeamVVV]

Loving your work John.

[@peruprofundodance]

Whoa... epic intro.

[@Meowblivion]

MrJimbo1qaz it's for retro enthusiasts

[@BeyondTheScanlines]

Truly an excellent review. For the record, I didn't mind the opening, certainly a nice way to put things in context. Really, really appreciated the detail you went into with regard to comparisons against the original kit, as well as Higan and the Mini. Really interesting details. And yes, I'd love to see a Turrican episode ;)

[@funnyclipsde]

I can see the effort you‘ve put into this - don‘t listen to all the fools in the comments...

[@teedee9393]

funnyclipsde - what fools? Everyone loves DF Retro.

[@funnyclipsde]

Don Bon read some of the other comments...

[@Castdeath]

funnyclipsde They really went down the pecking order after a while. Just a bunch of fools that think because the intro was shot well, the video is now an advertisement....

[@charvelgtrs]

Firmware 4.0 fixed the Meglo Mania bug. Kevtris is quick on his updates lol.

[@haloharry97]

sadly not anymore. his taken his sweet time.

[@BenWillock]

The production quality of these DFRetro videos is always so impressive, a step higher than the normal DF videos, unfortunately.

[@squidtentacles]

It’s crazy people would pay money for something you can emulate for free… wild.

[@djayjp]

*Track used in intro please...!* Or just track list throughout pls. :)

[@Macho_Fantastico]

It's crazy how much effort as to go into recreating this experience and keeping these games alive for later generations.

[@thebahooplamaster]

You gotta love the setup and lighting of this video, everything looks so gorgeous.

[@claudiolluberes111]

Also the text graphics and transitions. Major step up.

[@OwlOfBlues]

Yep, visually very pleasing - I just don’t understand why the sound is so horrible :/ I wonder if that’s KZbin‘s compression artifacts because I can’t believe DF would do this, but even for KZbin this is awful...

[@dark1x]

I'm having a difficult time with audio. I need to replace my Samson mic but, basically, there's issues with certain sounds in the recording. It sounds pretty good in Premiere but gets worse with each encoding step. Once it hits YT, it's awful. Also, the on-camera stuff with the lapel mic is slightly echo-y and I'm not sure how I can fix that since I really don't have a way to deaden the sound.

[@OwlOfBlues]

I'm guessing here but I remember Samson doing a lot of condenser mics (often with built-in ADC), if that is the case, it may be the overpronounced highs that are typical for that kind of mic. Highs are often what really stands out when badly compressed, so what might help is a low-pass filter and maybe some de-esser. For the lavalier situation, there's a nice plugin by SPL called De-Verb and does exactly what the name says, maybe there's a demo version you can try out? Also, I'd experiment with a different mic placement, rather to the center of the neck. Many lav's have a spherical recording pattern, but cardioids are not uncommon, so direction may or may not be a factor. Generally speaking, beneath the throat, on the chest, you'd get more low-end resonance (also dependent on the person, of course). As for deadening the room, yeah that's always tricky, not knowing what else is there and how big the room is, it's hard to make suggestions. (Apart from general advice, like a carpet on the floor, foam panels /carpet on the walls if possible, or hanging blankets from mic stands or something.) That ultra-dry sound some studio productions achieve are often recorded with shotgun mics/ directional mics - they can be fixed if the presenter doesn't move all that much, but a dedicated sound-guy with a boom is still the better option. I really hope to see some improvement there in the future, but really, the whole production is on such a high level and recently made a big jump again, I'm just happy to get this kind of quality content at all! So, a big thanks to you John, and the whole DF team :)

[@DamedaZenZenDameda]

That intro made me wanna play SNES

[@FerrariKangaroo]

Outstanding video. FPGA / hardware based emulation ftw. What a fantastic piece of hardware for enthusiasts of the 16-bit generation. *Analogue do what Nintendon't*. Kevtris is the modern day Carmack.

[@JohnSmith-ro8hk]

use an original snes in hdmi sherlock?

[@HeyItsLollie]

Enjoyed the fun touches throughout this, especially the intro and filmed console shots. Push past the few negative comments here, they're just confusing "production flair" for "promotional faff". Your efforts here were absolutely worth it, keep it up! Also, I think it's important to state, it's so nice to see a reviewer like yourself who appears to have a personal investment in emulation (or at least, keep up to speed with it). Even some of my favorite publications make some common missteps, and they just don't seem to be aware of high-accuracy efforts like Higan and Mednafen. The edge case tests are very much appreciated, and this kind of deep review was exactly what I was hoping to see from DF. Thank you!

[@cptnoremac]

Playing Turtles in Time on easy mode? For shame.

[@noblackthunder]

forward to 2020 .. Nintendo has Snes games on there switch console ... Zelda does not even work properly .. and nintendo charges money for this ....

[@brutalbown1]

John, I can imagine how disheartening it is, after all the hard work you put in to these videos, to then read nasty comments (which is a tiny minority) which would make you think 'I won't bother' but the way you do these pieces, is what separates you from the average crap on KZbin! These are trolls, and have no idea about pretty much anything. Likes and dislikes should tell you, all you need to know, about the quality. :)

[@isturbo1984]

what nasty comments? i cant see any. you do a deep dive in the comments or just trying to virtue signal?

[@brutalbown1]

isturbo1984 plenty of tossers, slamming what he's done, guess you can just call it trolling, but a lot of hard work goes into these videos, which is plain to see. So yeah nasty.

[@isturbo1984]

i guess. i just came in here a couple of days late... comments sorted by "most popular"... i scrolled WAY down and hadnt found a single negative one.

[@dreammfyre]

Can someone please release a 486 clone in a small form factor with these sort of scaling options? As much as I loved SNES games at the time, they have been completely overplayed/talked about since the dawn of emulation. Even a good song looses its appeal if you hear it on the radio every day...

[@markzuckerbergette6185]

I can feel the dollars leaving my wallet as I watch this...

[@senseihEnRY16]

John should make his own video game youtube channel. DF community is just too toxic and John's videos quality are just too high compared to rest of DF videos. I'm pretty sure John's channel could compete with other high quality gaming channel like Mark Brown, Raycevick, and GVMERS

[@xBINARYGODx]

He can't - for that would cause the new channel to totally outpace regular DF and the sub/view would likely drop. I only click on SOME of the regular videos, but I click on every of the Retro videos. I suspect I am not alone. Also, there are many, many channels with higher sub/view counts than DF that do retro stuff, so there is even more reason to feel as I do. Eurogamer doesn't want their cherished DF to be negatively affected.

[@Theodore5of5]

y u tryna start drama, break up the band

[@MorrisseyMuse]

Agreed, retro gaming is generally focused more towards real gamers, not pixel counters, thus no toxic fanboy childishness. John is a fantastic "presenter" and very knowledgeable and would make an awesome retro channel! :)

[@barrybondz4483]

We need an updated video, 3 years later on firmware maturity

[@OldsXCool]

The shadow cast by your plane in Air Strike Patrol doesn't come in dark enough on a 1-chip SNES. I have a 1-chip SNES and while the shadow is visible, it's kinda hard to see. This goes for the 1-chip SNES and the smaller revision of the SNES . On a lower serial original SNES which has the lesser picture quality displays the shadow much darker as it does on Higan and the Super NT.

[@licentioushowler3400]

Yeah, it seems like he wasn't aware that this is one of the games that is said to work a little differently on the 1-chip, but it's not a major goof on his part or anything.

[@OldsXCool]

Nah I'm not coming down at all on John for not knowing that about the 1-chip. It's superior picture quality over the original SNES design is far more common knowledge than this one drawback that I mentioned. I didn't even know about it until someone told me in the comment section of my video because I noted that the shadow was really light an almost just as useless as not having a shadow at all in my description. It's certainly nothing to choose an original over a 1-chip for. I just thought I would let everyone know so they don't think that the Super NT and more importantly Higan weren't doing anything wrong. In this case the REAL hardware got it wrong lol.

[@ButtholioTheGreat]

it wasn't until the end of the video I realized that wasn't a Murrica shirt, but a Turrican shirt

[@TonyGearSolid]

I'm kind of surprised that the HD Retrovision component cables weren't mentioned, aside from the TV compatibility issues, it's probably the best alternative for people who are looking for a more inexpensive option for a high quality image.

[@maxbspqr]

Am I wrong or is the problem of hooking up an old console to a modern TV a non-issue in Europe due to SCART? I mean I have my MegaDrive hooked up no problem through that interface.

[@fafling]

In fact it depends on how your TV handles analog signal from retro consoles, whatever the input type. I live in Europe and have an LG TV with SCART input. It handles 240p signal as 480i, with terrible lag.

[@Yesterzine]

SCART sockets are rapidly disappearing from TVs with the race to be thin.

[@RedArremer]

Can't believe some of the close-minded idiots commenting on this video. It's one of the most thorough video reviews I've ever seen for the Super Nt.

[@arcade_signal]

the video itself is really pretty evenhanded but I can see why people are criticizing the intro. it's probably totally unintentional but it comes off as looking too slick and like marketing material (similar to how less reputable places "review" things) the difference is that your actual content is honest and technically informed and doesn't read like a press release. I think interpreting the criticisms as "stop putting effort in" is the wrong way to go, just next time watch what you've created and wonder "even if I like this product, does it come across like I'm selling it?". the way thing are now with so many people being paid for "reviews" people's bullshit detectors are turned to 11. regarding this product, I think 240p games running upscaled on HDTVs will always look wrong, no matter how accurately the code is being executed. even a real SNES with an upscaler doesn't really work me, nothing can match the look of RGB from the real console output to a PVM or other good CRT. It's hard to capture how great this looks on video though, and this review is a perfect example of that with the CRT shots looking not so hot (not really your fault, it's the nature of the beast). It's easy to understand why many people wouldn't want to go the CRT route though and the super NT seems like a hassle free solution for them. I like that analogue actually made it look like the thing it is simulating this time around, the case design of their NES clones was really tone deaf imo and I think the success of nintendo's NES/SNES mini line finally made them see the light and realize that the look of those consoles is part of the appeal/nostalgia/etc. I've never been the biggest fan of this company (or at least their marketing team) but the fact that this exists is undeniably a good thing, it's a plug and play solution that doesn't suck and leaves more real hardware available for people who enjoy the tinkering side of the hobby.

[@adamsfusion]

The best way I've found of explaining an FPGA is with an analogy of a roller coaster, or making one A processor must first define the blueprints and then, in an orderly manner, see the steps of the coaster running one by one and carefully control timing while also making sure everything's in order An FPGA is a roller coaster And that seems to get the point across of why an FPGA excels in these sorts of areas.

[@philscomputerlab]

That was truly excellent! I think that FPGA retro consoles is the way to go. The intro was brilliant, I knew I was in for a treat :D

[@yeahhbuddy3932]

Trading in my dusty ps4 for one of these

[@albey1816]

LOL

[@Illuminati-pr3di]

Dusty xbox done ! Fixed for you.

[@albey1816]

Will have to turn down the offer - already have a dusty XBOX sitting on the shelf.

[@EposVox]

Fantastic work

[@treefroggy]

Awesome music the whole way through! You got a tracklist? Where can I find that awesome Dracula GB genesis remaster track?

[@mspeter97]

Thank god we can finish that dreadful Speedy Gonzales game

[@naikrovek]

Howcome no gaming video I've ever seen has sufficiently explained FPGAs... If an FPGA developer accurately describes the SNES hardware and then implements that hardware on an FPGA, that FPGA *BECOMES* an SNES. It's not emulation, it's not simulation, it is a new implementation of an SNES.

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

DF Retro: The only time this comment section isn't a shitstorm.

[@retrosoul8770]

Awesome analysis, fantastic work as usual Jon, now if we can get a Sega Genesis/Megadrive counterpart bringing Model 1 audio/video quality to HD displays that would be wonderful and very well deserved. If anyone disagrees, I will gladly refute you respectfully.

[@dudarunilibowski4003]

More DF Retro please ! Maybe an episode on the TurboGrafx 16 ?

[@dark1x]

Heck yes, I'd love to do that.

[@FerrariKangaroo]

That'd be sweet. I've only just discovered this system. What a hidden gem (in the Western market)

[@fabioalvesshow]

Looks beautiful

[@Teknoman]

I need to know some of the BGM used in the video, because some of these i've never heard before!

[@brett20000000009]

Best review sofar goodjob man.

[@densydodo]

Great stuff. Loved the in-depth comparison, which really sets it apart from the other reviews/content out there on this system.

[@mrflamewars]

Flamewar time: The SNES sounds way better than the Sega Fartesis. SPC700 Supremacy!

[@adrianmoj5227]

I loved Mega Lo Mania on the Amiga 500. The voice samples are crystal clear. But what i liked the most, no other game could create such a tension.

[@Pat86]

You can get rid off the sync and audio crackling problems from higan by using it within Retroarch. Smooth scrolling without any audio hiccups.

[@Pat86]

just download Retroarch, download the higan core within it and you are ready to go. ;)

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

What’s the music at 2:00? It’s really good

[@FrankProvo]

Lovely video. I got mine today and haphazardly realized it stores settings for each of the resolutions independently... so one batch of settings for 1080p (no scanlines) and another for 720p (scanlines!). This thing really is a labor of love and I am so, so, so glad I took the risk. Now if only they'd make a Genesis/Megadrive one!

[@monsterofgod3315]

As a owner of a SuperNT I wouldn't part with it. Fantastic piece of hardware

[@mastersofurmouth]

Received mine yesterday,playing it today,have checked out Street Fighter 2,Axelay,Super Ghouls n Ghosts and F-Zero so far and it is worth every cent.

[@nathanielmills4678]

Excellent video. I love the detail you go into. To be honest I'm living my gaming life through this channel. Reminiscing on the 90s and 2000s when I played SNES through to PS2/Xbox.

[@Inriri]

That's a pretty ballin console, but I'll stick with my snes mini because I want to keep my cartridges in storage.

[@j0nnyism]

You’ve had fun making this I can tell

[@Eyedunno]

BTW, I just uploaded what I was talking about with Mega Man X2's attract mode. On real hardware, X lives to fire the killing shot, and then it fades out. On emulators, INCLUDING HIGAN, he dies. watch?v=d5AvEB1Aors&t=1m18s

[@johnhalloran9072]

The Air Strike Patrol shadow discrepancy is not due to anything wrong with the NT *or* Higan. Rather it’s an issue with the design of Nintendo’s own 1CHIP revision of the system. Both Higan and the NT reproduce the shadow like an original SNES would, it’s the single-chip model that is bugged (albeit very slightly).

[@juanchol21]

interesintg

[@Stephan5916]

Great. Hopefully, there'll be an N64 NT version...

[@Enehall]

Great review!! I have one question. How did you get Yoshis Island to work? I can't play any games with the Super FX chip on my Super NT!? Is there some firmware I have to download?

[@eymed2023]

Yes, you probably just need to update the firmware (look up how to do it). Their updates tend to fix such issues.

[@lassihietala4117]

Awesome stuff. Impossible to determine which one is the better video - this or the MLIG one.

[@VideoGameExplorers]

The Mega Lo Mania bug was fixed which I'm sure you heard by now which is just incredible to me. I'm incredibly happy I bought one for myself yesterday. My only hope is that they add a Zero Lag 60.09Hz mode, because I know my monitor can take it.

[@LeoA2600]

Kevtris must've broke it again then, since it's happening for me on the latest firmware (And in both the PAL and Super Famicom version of the game).

[@LynxxLancer]

Great episode John, I especially liked that Tengai Makyou Zero Music.

[@matmacsug]

FPGA Sega Saturn when?

[@charvelgtrs]

After the Genesis.

[@jonmkl]

Probably depends on when the Saturn Patents expire. Kevtris said a PS1 or N64 could be the upper limit of FPGA feasibility, here’s hoping that means the Saturn is possible too (it _is_ a bit more complex).

[@tenshin2002]

matmacsug: It needs to be done!

[@BurritoKingdom]

Segata Jonshiro should've already expired. Patents last 20 years. Should've expired in 2015.

[@jonmkl]

Michael San Oh man! I’d friggin kill for an FPGA Saturn this quality.. I wonder how difficult it would be to PGA considering its famously bizarre are guts. Multiple processors, all kinds of weird effects chips. But that is seriously the dream, I would lose my sh**.

[@janhelfers9068]

DF Retro about Turrican ? Yes please !

[@MarkieMX]

Can we get a Playlist? I don't know these awesome songs!

[@DJ_Dopamine]

I'm doing it 'oldskool' style... an original SNES (bought new by myself in 1992). Connected to a 21" 4:3 CRT via an official RGB scart cable with stereo sound. Still got the original controllers as well!

[@tetsujin_144]

Nice! I recently found a 27" Trinitron on the sidewalk: at first I was all like "eh, I really wanted one with curved glass..." but I think it's actually quite a nice TV I got my hands on. Heavy as fuck. Also has some color convergence and geometry issues I haven't sorted out yet, but I've been having a lot of fun with it.

[@DoctorEdgarMcQuack]

Music list?

[@aceones5488]

snes born in 1991, is 26 years old!!! DF

[@LanceTheeGamer]

ace ones *27 this year actually.

[@madfinntech]

That is impressive, no doubt but I still prefer the real hardware and CRT.

[@AndrewMurphy7]

What's the side scrolling zelda-looking game they play a few times? I haven't seen that one before and it looks really cool.

[@Leonheart18]

I was also looking for the name of this game and finally found it, it is DoReMi Fantasy

[@Eyedunno]

I just got my Super Nt today, and the first thing I did was to test Mega Man X2's attract mode on the no lag buffering mode. It worked as it should, so apparently the Cx4 chip's speed is tied to the CPU speed. Good stuff.

[@Eyedunno]

I was impressed that you tested actual edge cases like Air Strike Patrol rather than crap some other people might test ("Does it run Donkey Kong Country with its amazeballs graphics?!!!"). I would like to point out that the fact that you ran A.S.P. on a 1chip SNES accounts for the lighter shadow. On an original 1990 SNES, it will look more like the Super Nt or Higan. One thing you didn't test is Mega Man X2. I am interested to see if X kills the boss on attract mode or not. On most emulators, X dies due to timing issues involving emulation of the Cx4 chip. I am wondering especially if the three buffer modes will affect the timing on this attract mode. Any chance you could check this? Overall, good stuff. I liked seeing a lot of my favorite games used here and there: Blackthorne, DoReMi Fantasy, Super Metroid. Would have been cool if they'd gone ahead and rounded out the included Turrican games with Targa though.

[@Eyedunno]

I was able to test this myself finally. It works perfectly even in No Lag mode.

[@tetsujin_144]

To be fair, though, Donkey Kong Country has a little more aggressive copy protection measures than most SNES games. It's worth testing on clone hardware for that reason, if nothing else. (Though being such a high-profile game it's hard to imagine the Super NT, with its attention to detail, wouldn't work with it.)

[@mushroomsamba82]

17:04 John suffers for our entertainment. Respect.

[@deathrow989]

Love what you do John, don't stop.

[@claudiolluberes111]

Yeah! MOAR retro!!!

[@JezJitzu]

Anyone know the song at 2:04?

[@The90sGamingGuy]

I had an original model 1 SNES for Christmas or my Dad bought it and had it at our house on launch day back when it first came out. I remember seeing the system for the first time in its box and didn't know what it was lol. Upon playing Super Mario World i fell in love with the system and games, to this day the SNES is one of my favorite retro consoles of all time. In 1996 my dad sold the SNES to fund a launch day Nintendo 64 and a game. Fast forward to about 2009 i got back into retro gaming and bought a model 1 Sega Genesis and some boxed games at a garage sale. At that point for some crazy reason i had no intention of picking up a replacement SNES for myself. In 2011 i did buy a model 1 SNES and many great games. A few months ago i ordered a Super NT and wow what a great system. I was totally blown away with how good the games looked and holy crap the sound is better than ever. Great video by the way. Looks like you put a good amount of effort and time into this video.

[@felipemedina4778]

Hello. Anyone knows what is the game that shows exactly on minute 1:00 ??

[@juanchol21]

ninja turtles IV

[@merlingt1]

DF and MLiG are all the reviews you need.

[@shinnok7]

You're the best, John.

[@jimlaughford1839]

John...don't listen to the comments from people who don't put anything they make out into the world. I like to always remember Theodore Roosevelt's quote on this: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

[@ClexYoshi]

Man, now I feel DEEPLY disappointed that I bought one of these after learning it uses Micro USB over USB Type C. I literally have taken great pains to try and eliminate Micro-USB cables from my life because of how incredibly unreliable they are.

[@tjanas]

Per FirebrandX, either 1170x960 or 1462x1200 on Super NT on a modern display in 1080p is the closest match to actual geometry of an SNES on a CRT

[@fluffycritter]

Note: It's important to view this video at 60fps if you want to see the actual issues with shadows and interlacing.

[@GadgetUK164]

Fantastic video! Really nicely presented and you covered a LOT there lol. This is quite possibly the first FPGA based system I want to purchase! Original SNES hardware isn't as hardy as some of the other systems of that era, this is a good investment for anyone wanting to play SNES games - you can then put your original hardware away somewhere safe.

[@topshelfgaming9093]

Man I can’t wait to get mine in the mail! Along with those 8bitdo controllers! This a retro gamers dream come true!! Excellent video! My Life In Gaming is also a wicked channel!

[@lilhed]

What music track is on the intro?.. It's excellent! This video is excellent... like all of your analysis.

[@PeterHas]

Excellent episode. I learned a lot. Thanks.

[@ocha-time]

Don't let that $189 pricetag fool ya, no matter how cool it is; they charge a minimum of around $40 for shipping, so in effect it's a lot closer to $230. It's not nothing, it's nearly another 20% of the unit's package price.

[@hatsuseno]

I thought I knew about old games and emulation until I watched this video. This whole video is pretty much double dutch to me.

[@philneitz]

Linneman Power! Bester Mann!

[@inviolet]

A very well made and in depth review, thank you!

[@themriron2391]

I'd love an original NT Mini but the price is prohibitive. Why don't they cut it down with the release of the Super NT? Or how about a revision to, say, remove half the ports like the Super NT so the price is lowered?

[@JUMPhiI]

What a great video, I didn't quite expect this. You should do Emulator guides with all your knowledge and testing skills.

[@ehrenloudermilk1053]

This video had an absolutely phenomenal track list.

[@Castdeath]

If you know the names of any of the tracks please do tell.

[@steveothehulk]

Anyone else think the graphics on the super nt look way more pixelated than the original snes? Is that because its in hd?

[@paul1979uk2000]

This is one of the few options I've seen being done the right way, I've always thought things like Snes Mini are pointless when they can be emulated with ease but it's a diffrent story when you can run your own games that you bought on it and even thought it's still emulated, it's more or less like running the real Snes, all the others that are more or less just an emulator to look like a real Snes, whats the real point of that when you might as well just play on an emulator it's self. Anyway, you've got my vote if you do a Turrican series, one of my fav games when growing up on the Amiga.

One huge problem - EARTHWORM JIM 2 DOES NOT PLAY SOUND EFFECTS CORRECTLY on the Super NT. The PAL version. I'm sorry, but this is really annoying me that the PAL version was not tested; the console is supposed to be region-free and it's not nice to leave PAL gamers in the dust for a worldwide machine. The NTSC version may be fine but that's just one version of the game. Sorry but there is still obviously work to be done to really get this console fully accurate. I have already mentioned this on the MLIG video and Try4ce responded that we just have to wait and see if Kevtris can fix it. I've also emailed Analogue about the issue. It's a shame because it was the first game I tried in my console and it left me very disappointed to see that it doesn't play the game any better than a bad emulator :( It's one thing to have a repro game not work (as some don't), but it's another thing entirely to find that a genuine cart won't work :( Apart from that I love it!

Guten Abend! Very good video. No disagrees. I'm from Europe and I own a 1 Chip SNES and I use it with an official RGB Cable from France on a Sony Kdl55w905. It looks awesome. But the second reason I prefer the original, is the great sound chip sony created and build in the original SNES. It is still the main reason for me loving the original. It' s an unicate!
