The ULTIMATE Retro Gaming Experience - Analogue Nt Mini Review

[@betaomega04]

For $498 it'd better blow on the cartridges for me.

[@Kleavers]

betaomega04 It should blow me for that money.

[@betaomega04]

Perhaps if you're into paying for that sort of thing :-D

[@belowtheinfluence8499]

What are you talking about, everyone likes to get blow jobs.

[@symphony137]

For money? No thx

[@kingarthur83rd]

for that price tag i expect that thing to give me a blow job, never mind the cartridges!!!

[@satoshiaaron]

5000 hours in engineering yeah? Well I've got 5200 hours in Garry's Mod... Beat that... ;-;

[@sidsu_]

Yeah, you got so much "engineering" practise from Gmod. They should've hired you.

[@satoshiaaron]

You're right man, they should have hired me. I'm way more qualified. The weld tool knows it better than anyone.

[@flaming910]

I thought my 133 hours was a decent amount. but 5200 HOURS, WHAT DO YOU WITH YOUR LIFE. I guess that answer to that would be Gmod

[@MrMarci878]

I could be pretty close to that with World of Tanks, i mean, ive been playing that game for 6 years now...

[@fredericnadon6428]

@Harry Welchman Your math is indeed wrong: let's say, normal 40-hours-a-week job, that's 2080 hours without vacations or days off. With that same number, that would be 2 and a half years without a single day off or holiday, etc. Ok, so "2 and a half years experience" isn't as spectacular, I admit, but in real-life work, when you have 5000+ hours into something, it's still a demonstration of a certain level of experience and dedication. Even pilots go around saying "I have 5000 hours of flight" and that's fairly impressive.

[@STBtas]

3:36 Small correction, HDL is Hardware Description Language not Hardware Definition Language.

[@guitarduderino]

I was about to make the same comment. Glad I scrolled down.

[@MikeVanDalen1996]

STBtas at least there are some people that understand it XD. as an electrical engineer this comment section gives me a short circuit.

[@DougCube]

I was about to make the same comment as well...

[@afti03]

i don't know how you know that, and i don't even care, i'm just gonna like and go on with my life..

[@maxwellstrange9450]

Yeah I was gonna say something watching this last night. Definitely cool to see something I work on regularly (FPGA) get exposure to mainstream audience. Really interesting and powerful things can be done with this stuff.

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

Nope. Sorry. No machine can recreate the reason why retro games were so good. Being young.

[@nahuelmat]

Rickard that's what nostalgic fucks seem to forget

[@eduardoduarte8655]

Rickard Well, I'm young and I get really bored with most of today's games. Guess I'll have to borrow nostalgia from someone else then, bummer.

[@andiCNH]

Eduardo, tell that to a doctor and you'll get prescribed some delicious amphetamines for the ADHD you clearly have /s

[@eduardoduarte8655]

andiCNH You're quite funny eh, nice one.

[@eduardoduarte8655]

andiCNH Forgot the word most, terribly sorry.

[@silviustro1]

[@Owlero]

Silviu Stroe lol to this day im convinced Luke isnt a real gamer.

[@SusuperHands]

Ya that shit doesn't fly lol

[@GoldenKingStudio]

... Our DS mics died for nothing. They've forgotten our sacrifice. :*(

[@melonxo]

Silviu Stroe I WANT THE SALVAGE ARM

[@grayfox665]

$449.00??? .............. Nope...

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

Fox Then consider the RetroUSB AVS then. It's also an NES FPGA solution but much cheaper at $199

[@grayfox665]

Hey now that RetroUSB AVSlooks like cool little console. unfortunately $199 is still pushing it for me. My maximum would be $100, flat. The NES FPGA looks like amazing (Love the look of the bare motherboard) but it looks like bit of a pain in the ass to set up. Great recommendations none the less.

[@Sebastian-xy3xk]

Fox It's not that hard to setup. You just need to adjust the aspect ratio so it looks even and that's it. ^-^

[@Doofindork]

This is amazing and all. But... for that price? Sadly I don't think I'd be able to pay that much for it. I think I could get an original console as well as a SD-card Cartridge and play roms that way, for less than getting that one. Sure, I wouldn't get all the kinds of consoles, but if it's just for NES and SNES, I'd stick to getting the SD-card cartridge, since those consoles aren't very expensive in the end.

[@DeathbyDusk]

For the price this thing is, you could get a modded SNES and NES for the HDMI and upscaling, and still have enough money for the SD carts, and maybe a modded Genesis on the side.

[@DeathbyDusk]

Still need to mod the cable for a SNES to get the RGB, unless you buy a premodded one or a scart cable. If you have a SNES mini, you still need to mod it to enable its disabled rgb hardware. Plus again, its not terribly expansive to buy a premodded ones with RGB output rca jacks on it, which itself is an easy and minor mod.

[@DeathbyDusk]

Yes i am aware, but you need to mod the Snes Mini to actually get RGB out of it, since its disabled by default.

[@Ziryu2]

Isnt this only for NES and Famicom? I didnt hear the part where he said it playes SNES/Super Famicom games aswell

[@Zark-Muckerberg]

NES and Famicom(JP NES)*. For $450, I would have expected it to at least be able to play SNES/Super Famicom.

[@Goldenkid777]

Hi Lucus! I met you at PAX. I was completely star struck when I saw you. Thanks for being such an awesome person about it! Keep up the great work I love all of the videos you guys make!

[@OldsXCool]

$450 is a bit steep. I'll stick to my actual NES and 36 inch CRT.

[@Daeys2411]

No games today can give me that feeling I hade with the nes !! Still now when I see duck hunt and Zelda I go back in time and smile ...my friend bought the game castlevania and that looked so cool !! I miss my zapper

[@techupbeat7567]

RgB is enough to buy this shit, it doesn't matter if it runs crysis or not.

[@ayalaamaury]

[@Windwalker95]

[@shiwunan]

+Ben Sutherland where's razer when you need them

[@CollateralNerdage]

0:38 no, I'm pretty sure Luke is the most beautiful piece of hardware I've ever laid my hands on

[@Jarza]

$4.49 is a great pri... oh

[@PostalTwinkie]

As an older gamer who still has his NES, SNES, Genesis, et cetera, and still plays retro games, this is the console I have been waiting for! Pick this up, go to the local game shop and go wild on their NES and SNES bin!

[@alexmorgan1671]

"What a truly great, inspirational man that Steve Jobs was. " said my mate in the pub. "What is your favourite Apple product? " he asked. "Cider, " I replied.

[@tjay1430]

Guys, The expansion port is not for the Famicom Disk System. The FDS drive is connected to the FDS RAM adapter that plugs into the 60 pin cartridge port. The expansion port is for controllers, 3D glasses, light guns, save game memory and other similar peripherals.

[@alexmorgan1671]

I’m hear because I just purchased the Noir. Now I need a new video Linus!

[@solarminima1737]

Oh this looks great!... How much do they want for it?!

[@wooterz]

The expansion port on the back isn't used for the Disk System, it's used for stuff like 3rd-party controllers and the famicom version of the Zapper.

[@MajoraZ]

If this isn't actually emulation, then could Nintendo sue the makers of this? Not saying I'd support them doing so, but, legally, do they have the ability?

[@parm456]

Jabberwockxeno yeah probably could

[@iamtheonewhoyoulove]

copyrights still cover nintendo games. and their tech. in the same way books still hold copyrights hundreds of years after they were writen

[@groundmasterc]

Copyrgith for written word is more limited than you think it is, depending where you live of course.

[@eagames456]

No. Standard patents are lost after 30 years. Copyright shouldn't be an issue since they didn't copy the games.

[@pleasedontwatchthese9593]

Jabberwockxeno "Some of Nintendo's patents on the Famicom expired in 2003, followed in 2005 by NES-specific patents such as those covering the 10NES lockout chip. While Nintendo still holds various related trademarks, NES hardware clones are no longer necessarily illegal on the basis of patent infringement." - wikipedia

[@l0rdm0rd]

as a retro gamer i would LOVE to see more related videos from such a professional channel like LTT. Compared to the retro gaming channels yours is miles ahead in terms of ... anything. And it suits you well.

[@flux1969]

Is that 450 Canadian Pesos or real money

[@shadow3122]

I see what you did there.

[@orestisgrivas5434]

AvE ?

[@Killer1986Chris]

We actually use icicles up here tyvm.

[@LaFu3000]

Actually, the Famicom Expansion Port is not used for the Disk System, that is connected trough the cartridge slot. It's just a differently shapped Controller Port including some additional I.O. (ie. Sound for the Data Recorder), as the original Famicom featured hardwired controllers.

[@Ares-5933]

but a raspberry pi 3 can emulate them for only $40

[@jockel9502]

Small smart-ass correction: the Famicom Disk System does not connect through the Famicom Parallel port, but rather through the Famicom cartridge slot via RAM adapter.

[@OldWetAction]

You might as well download an emulator on your PC!

[@OldWetAction]

Exactly! you can get a phone that can do so for about a $100

[@startide]

This does a lot more things than an emulator, it's not for people that just want to spend 20 minutes with a hacked rom they downloaded from the first google link they found.

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

This is vastly different than an emulator on a PC, though. This replicates the way the original hardware worked using non-original parts, which is actually amazing! That way, it's guaranteed to behave exactly the same as the original hardware.

[@startide]

Puffy > actually you are not guaranteed anything, they could have done mistakes in their hardware implementation. Assuming they did it right though, it's the closest you can currently get while not running the actual original hardware though. With a lot of much needed modern features too, of course.

[@PuffyRainbowCloud]

startide Of course, I was rather unclear. It does work just as well as the original hardware, ASSUMING that it's coded correctly. They do have a skilled engineer, though.

[@dumbtree3031]

yeah buddy Miami High toque @3:30 Cloverdale represent!

[@PalikkaFilms]

but those games were 60fps

[@dtb6456]

get a DELL Optiplex with a i5 2400/2500 on Ebay for $100 and throw a RX 460 for $80 and You got yourself a $180 PC with gaming capabilities that will emulate ANYTHING out there: Atari, Amiga, NES, SEGA Master system/II, Genesis, SNES, MAME, N64, PSX, PS2, Wii, Gamecube, Gameboy, Game Gear, and so on and so forth.

[@Kleavers]

Maybe you want to keep your consoles intact

[@KingsForge]

LMAO RetroPi can be had as a ready to go kit for around $90 Also of note, you can adjust display settings, scanline settings, etc to achieve a classic look or an improved appearance to make the games look even better than they did when released.

[@x46andtwo]

I am ashamed for anyone who pays 446 dollars to play roms...

[@mistaecco]

Oh damn didn't think Luke was such a retro enthusiast! Been planning on getting a framemeister for a while, cool to see this type of stuff on LTT!

[@dennisfowler3860]

The best retro experience is with the original console and a crt tv

[@paulunga2828]

One of the most insane features on this (at least for me) is that you can increase the sprite limit for NES games. Anyone who's ever played Mega Man or Castlevania knows that if there are too many enemies and items on screen at the same time, you encounter sprite flicker and slowdowns. By upping the limit from 8 to 16 it eliminates this and makes Mega Man run silky smooth even with shit flying all over the screen. That's crazy. It's completely optional, but it's there if you want it.

[@niqhtt]

$450, hell no. Raspberry Pi + 8bitdo. Or my phone + 8bitdo + slimport

[@Pienimusta]

Theres too much input lag on RasPi or phone for all those competitive NES games ... no wait...

[@GjpRion]

ever heard of speedruns?

[@GjpRion]

Hacked Wii, im that poor.

[@niqhtt]

Haven't noticed any input lag, but i've mostly only been playing zelda, DW, and FF lately. Tried some Rtype and Gradius, but I suck at those anyway. I have noticed input lag depending on what TV I use. Some are terrible for gaming. What really nice is setting up google drive on the phone/pi/computer and having all your saves synced. Also have all the emu on my Wii homebrew. Wish Wii U homebrew was better. I have looked at a Vita for emu, but apparently it really isn't much of a thing.

[@TheBigBossJr2000]

My vita running Retro Arch with Snes9x2010 core will like to disagree with your statement.

[@ccricers]

You guys bought this but not a spare tube TV? You really need one to make this a truly "ultimate" retro experience.

[@Slycamer]

#givetheconsoletoluke

[@WeAreMovieMakers]

2:22 What does Wind Waker have to do with microphones?

[@YDINO69]

....or get an emulator

[@ironsienna]

I have never find a single emulator that has no input lag. Most people don't even realise there is delay between pressing a button and the reaction on the screen. This is due to the large number of layers the information needs to go through when using emulators. But it is always there and it affects negatively the gameplay. This little beauty has zero input lag.

[@aedelya]

450$ ??? What a joke 30€ south korean consoles already exist, they also play megadrive cartridges.

[@39zack]

aedelya that's emulation, this is not.

[@SadMarinersFan]

aedelya well emulation is 100% legal soooooo.

[@cnerde]

And emulating doesn't work with everything, adds lag, etc. This is legal, the patents expired over a decade ago.

[@XDjUanZInHO]

Zack in fact some of them aren't

[@tjay1430]

Also, No save states are implemented or planned due to limitations in the physical hardware.

[@asifalihisbani6300]

why should buy this 450$ console, when you can play such games on a potato PC even on pentium 2 :p

[@timo4258]

yeah, it should be like 5 times cheaper at least. and that's only if playing retro games on it is convenient and you don't need to mess with emulation unlike on pc

[@startide]

Because your emulator with your hacked roms are not the real thing... See this article as to why : arstechnica.com/gaming/2011/08/accuracy-takes-power-one-mans-3ghz-quest-to-build-a-perfect-snes-emulator/

[@Night_A]

Because it's not a software emulation platform like RetroArch. If its performance is indeed on par with the original Analoug NT, it's what one could consider a re-implementation of the NES using modern FPGA hardware. Which in turn allows for those who seek the best modernized expereince from an old system to have cycle-accuracy, high performance, native HD output, 99% compatibility and much more. And as Luke said, those who pay for such systems are ture purists, not the avarage consumers who could just get-by with an RPi or a smartphone running some software emulator.

[@timo4258]

+night but does it need to be so expensive? i doubt the hardware costs anything as much, these would probably sell like hot cakes at a good price

[@startide]

Timo > because the cost of hardware is not the sole cost, making it happen was obviously time consumming. Also : it's a niche product... it will never sell like hot cakes, even at 150 dollars.

[@yes_itselectric]

And this is why i kept all of my Retro Consoles throughout the years.

[@GainingDespair]

$450 for retro gaming??? I'll pass on that just get me another 1080 and game at 120hz 4k and if I'm bored ill download a retro emulator.

[@digistruct0r]

1:31 Sooo... $450 and the cutout for the power plug doesn't even match the socket?

[@MikeG0ld]

Nice paid commercial, because it's hard to call it any sort of review.

[@jutenheim223]

I'm not gonna discredit your comment, but I want to know what would you have done differently for it to be called a proper review in your book. In my humble opinion, Luke delivered the facts I was curious about.

[@PurranormalCatatonic]

Requiem Aeternam mention that it's ridiculous for the price and that it's for a very niche market which is what they usually do (at least Linus does) but um...they got paid maybe or bad script lol

[@SusuperHands]

Ya, the obvious conclusion to this review should be "Uhhh really?"

[@jutenheim223]

Why would they have to say that, though? Because if that's your basis, then all iPhone reviews should include that statement. The console does what it advertises it does regardless of the price. It's now in your discretion, as a consumer, to think for yourselves if the product is worth it or not based on the video. That's what a review is for.

[@undisclosedperson3871]

Purranormal Catatonic He obviously doesn't think it is ridiculous for the price and he is the exact target market, but it's still his honest opinion.

[@Thewickedjon]

luke adds so much to this channel

[@ayyds]

Still a console

[@WayToManyAssassins]

And

[@KeithShizuo]

a pc is just a console thats harder to use and takes up more space

[@Smeefie]

KeithShizuo and you know performs betters, has more games, and can do much, much, much, much, much more

[@KeithShizuo]

i played a racing game on pc once. the cars went just as fast as the ps2 version. performance wasthesame

[@KeithShizuo]

its not what you have, its ow you use it

[@mrblackrock555]

Fun Fact: the original Analogue NT used original hardware from a SNES inside of it if you want see a more in depth video on this, watch my life in gaming. they provide a much more detailed look at the system and all of the settings that are within the software of the console.

[@playstation1freak26]

The ultimate retro gaming experience is actually the pc this can't even play ps1 and ps2 games.

[@mandrias]

So Luke shows a RetroUSB game (they make more than just one new game by the way) but doesn't mention the fact that the company RetroUSB also makes an FPGA NES machine similar to the Analogue NT Mini called the RetroUSB AVS that also has hardware level compatibility with no lag that does 720P HDMI for a lot cheaper than the Analogue NT. The AVS is currently on sale for $170 and will net you most of the benefits of the Analogue NT. Of course for the creme de la creme of FPGA NES machines you'll have to spring for the Analogue NT. (additional cores, true 1080P HDMI, analogue outputs in addition to HDMI, etc.) But the AVS is a great alternative at a much lower cost.

[@thakaanu]

This is an ULTIMATE joke video

[@frostin1990]

It's a paid promotion but Linusshill tips wont disclose it as always

[@xunaticone9448]

Quite the improvement from that overview on unbox therapy, now I see where some of the price comes from.

[@medleysa]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still uses a CRT TV for console gaming. I have all my consoles up to the Wii hooked up to a 20" CRT in my den/kids' play room and wouldn't have it any other way. I have looked at things like the NT Mini, but they're just too much right now. Besides, I find a lot of fun in modding my consoles for component output and get a nice, fuzzy nostalgic feeling when bombarded by high amounts of radiation from my old CRT.

[@SpartacusLegends117]

does duck hunt work? or a y game utilizing the zapper gun? because the CRT's used quick flashes of light to detect where the gun was aimed at..

[@DongleSama]

had no idea there was a retro gamer at LTT. Good video, trying to decide if I want one of these or if I should stick to my PVM and modded systems

[@BNGamesYT]

Luke, you should try out RetroUSB's AVS console, it does something very simular to this for half the price.

[@Keatononame13]

Let your old school games remain a memory of better times. Far too often I returned and wish I hadn't than had.

[@ap74249]

You've inspired me Luke. I'm hooking up my old consoles.

[@Hitorijime]

Cool to learn Luke is apart of the RGB Master Race! (I think?) Never thought I'd see the Framemeister on a LTT video, either! And for anyone interested, there are more in-depth videos on the Analogue NT Mini from MyLifeInGaming and RetroRGB (who also has an interview with the programmer for the FPGA, Kevtris).

[@BitPlayYT]

When the first ad came out, I thought Linus was gonna advertise Zelda instead of Zotac.

[@Cicirifu]

Honestly, given the niche market and amount of hours and skill needed to develop an accurate, faithful hardware clone on an FPGA I'm not surprised by the price tag.

[@DoctorX149]

7:00 Assuming you have any money left for beer... *or friends* OH SNAP EXPOSED

[@Simte]

The ultimate retro gaming experience is my Raspberry Pi with Retro-Pi.

[@Designandrew]

TFW your SNES wasn't a 'retro console' and actually just your 9 year old birthday present..

[@mjc0961]

Fun fact: Wind Waker didn't have any screaming into mics because the GameCube had no mic. Whoever wrote that dun goofed.

[@wadud92]

Non conventional build videos (as in not PC builds) are what I enjoy most on this channel. The server maintenance video that went up recently for example. I also love games, new, old, AAA, indie. And quite clearly Luke loves his retro games. So how about do both of those in one video. The very first comment I see here is about the Raspberry Pi and I'm sure many comments below it talk about emulation on tiny PCs. So, why not make a retro console style build. The pi and retropi is very easy to set up. You can scavenge an old laptop monitor and buy a driver board for it to work though HDMI and you can buy arcade style buttons and joysticks. (I just cheaped out and used the fightstick I had), the rest is just woodwork and painting. Hardwire in an on/of switch into the Pi and you have an amazing piece of tech for pennies as most parts can be scavenged excluding the pi itself

[@NOLIMIT69NOLIMIT2000]

I would like to see a TAS run on it to see just how accurate it is.

[@retrogamingawesomeness2709]

I'm a massive retro fanboy & i can definitely attest to saying that playing any game with an emulator just doesn't feel the same, therefore, you're NOT actually playing the same game. Massive companies are finding this out and that's why more consoles (NOT like this one - but similar, lower quality ones) are making their way onto the market more frequently. However, having said that, this definitely looks like something i might actually play with. Interesting, indeed.

[@brandonbeaumia]

Don't care how much it costs, it's very important that the NES/SNES has been completely recreated as an FPGA. There aren't a lot of old consoles left; this gives us at least another 35 years of 100% compatibility, depending on how long they sell them for and if the hardware is well made.

The retroUSB site that was shown on this video has a hdmi nes console with 4 controller ports, a built in gamegenie, and other feature for only $170.

Not sure if this is what you meant when you meantioned the SD slot. With an SD card in you could put a cartridge in and create your own ROM of it? Not sure if I understood that correctly/

Love the soundmixing. Nice and crisp at 10k ;)

[@Tx3JorgeX]

I really miss playing those retro games

[@Tehrani72]

Aside from the fact that there is no fn way to pay 449$ for something like this is actually awesome to see in 2017 product working flawlessly as advertised. Good job I guess!
