[@T0TALLYAWESOMEGUY]

Hey bro this is neat. Should get yours WATA graded 😂

[@dancingabbot]

Ordered it the day you posted this and they keep moving the shipping. Says end of the month but no communication on their end, getting to Analogue level waiting

[@SkyScourgeGod]

The concept of this device is really cool while also leaving a smaller footprint on your already more-than-likely crowed game setup lol. I do think it was a HUGE missed opportunity by not adding RGB or HDMI to this system though. Since the board is custom designed yet occupied by genuine chipsets they could have easily added RGB functionality by adding a couple more chips and a SNES multi video out port to the back. It probably would've made the entire package a bit more expensive, but you're already paying over $200 for one of these things so an extra $50 or so wouldn't have made much a difference.

[@xferone]

RGB is coming. They are still testing it

[@SkyScourgeGod]

@@xferone Very cool! I'd look forward to a device like that. 😉👍

[@craigbergman]

For real, I'd just buy an AV Famicom first. It would have taken all of a cheap CPLD to have enabled HDMI. Who is this for?

[@electronicengineer]

I completely, one hundred percent, agree with you. IMHO; This product comes across as a high dollar, "value added" NES console, but the most important "value" component was not "added". Still, it is a nicely crafted and overall a clean looking unit, however for the $220.00-plus price tag, it really needs to have HDMI connectivity in my mind, to justify its premium price. Just my $0.02...

[@21DegrassiStreet]

Composite in 2023. I still can't believe I'm seeing this. I'll go with the NT or AVS. This is a total rip-off for that price.

[@ranger64gmfr]

I like this new NES clone, it’s kind of cool. I bought an original NES from my friend and I love playing it, however as much as I love it, the games are slowly becoming harder to play on it, no matter how many times I clean them out with alcohol, they’re slowly starting to become harder to play on it. Today I bought the Retron 5, as it plays so many cartridges, and the cool thing about it is it plays Gameboy games on your tv. I can’t wait to hook it up. I’m keeping my original NES for nostalgia reasons and just in case the new system doesn’t work for some reason.

[@immortallix]

I'd take this over FPGA in a heartbeat if it had hdmi or at least some kind of other output option

[@SegaSnatchers]

AV Famicom is still the better buy if you want HDMI output and real cart support.

[@dwightdixon8508]

The original Analogue NT used original CPU & PPU I’m pretty sure from harvested from NES consoles. I have one and it’s pretty awesome. It came with composite but Analogue created a HDMI board that was fitted inside and offered it and the install it for free to the owners of the original NT

[@codylester9081]

I actually got a AV Famicom and a line doubling Nintendo cable off AliExpress and it works way better than I thought it would. I think it’s a slightly more affordable way to get access to clean authentic NES via an adapter and Famicom games

[@gcfreak898]

I like how you show everyone the different options. Thanks for the videos

[@loringbush1455]

Yes I do have a retro nes game console with 500 games on it and I play it alot more than my Nintendo Switch lite!

[@luckyyump]

Just got one of these things yesterday. I know that you did this review like over 9 months ago. Honestly I see people pay crazy money for top loaders that have native RF. In all honesty I'd rather have one of these. The best thing is if I play FDS Zelda or FDS Metroid through my everdrive I get the great sound! Whoever Daniel from talldog is, I would shake his hand and buy him a beer. I love this console.

[@apocalypticminister1369]

These are the videos I really enjoy @Madlittlepixel !!! Although I still have my Analogue NT Noir, (That floppy slot has been fixed) I love to see new products! Especially one which support original hardware... Reminds me of Frankenstein's Monster lol... But, yea, I'm gonna wait a bit but, I may have to pic one up!🤔

[@shawnbyrd4646]

Think wata will grade that?

[@T200026]

It's nice to see Mario in his proper colours on a clone console, it's a shame about the video output, even RGB is obsolete on many TVs now, so the scaler is the way to go, I always say you get what you pay for, and this looks the best option , apart from the Mini Nes itself, a great video to start my Saturday morning off 👍

[@courtlandbrugger6770]

Probably the biggest turn off is the composite video. If it were HDMI, that would be a better selling point in my opinion but it is nice that we have so many options to play retro games. Just like I love the look and size of the Retron HD but I wish it was full 1080p and not just 720p.

[@adventureoflinkmk2]

Hmm.. wonder if it's possible to HDMI mod the tiny NES? It is open sourced

[@Legatus_cubing]

0:50 legit the best mentality I heard

[@hectorleon465]

What makes me happy is playing physical copies... I love grabbing a cartridge from my collection and just pop it in and play it... Physical media always...

[@kwigbo]

I got the eject adapter with mine, which is really nice. Also the famicom adapter. This is now my only way to play NES/Famicom games on my little CRT. 😁

Awesome video. Ur missing the Analogue NT to complete ur nes collection. Lol. I know you had it before. 😏

[@zero9agent]

My "Go To" channel for all things of this sort. I like the no bullshit approach. Just game how you want.

[@labnine3362]

Awesome project! The composite video looks amazing and because it uses real chips it is superior to even the MiSTer in that regard. Giving it some design thoughts: might be advantageous to put the cartridge port at the back but with a 90 degree socket. That way the cartridge would lay on top. An hdmi micro/mini socket could also fit on the back panel. That would make this thing perfect IMO.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks for sharing.

[@lap456]

Looked at the web site you linkd to and it's a no sell "it must have HDMI".

Didn’t know it was gonna have rgb 🤦🏻‍♂️ should have got one

[@TheMultiGunMan]

Thank you! I like hearing about stuff like this.

[@nesX07]

Nes looks best in composite. The games were made to look good with a crt. You dont want a crystal clear sharp image to play nes games.

[@adancalderon8915]

Sounds cool 😎

[@pepsicolazero]

Don’t like the power button being in the back.

[@Captain_Chaz86]

Essentially they took the original chips (possibly repo chips) and placed them onto a new board and case.

[@Captain_Chaz86]

nvm. i checked out their site

[@21DegrassiStreet]

Composite is 1,000% inexcusable for that price. Then I have to put out more money to modify for RGB or HDMI

$229 and no controller. Gonna go ahead and pass on this one. Doesnt really look great in my opinion either.

If its open source I would wait a bit until the Chinese versions appear on Amazon for a third of the price. Also, not including rgb out of the box for that price is a bit stingy tbh.

I love that you don't use profanity!

[@SegaSnatchers]

$200 and doesn't have any more real functionality than a standard NES/AV Famicom? Who is this for? Like why would you buy this over an original system (Cheaper) or AVS (HDMI output)?

[@dr.rexbriefs8564]

Neat but overpriced.

[@OldsXCool]

Nope.

[@rubenmejia4881]

This project is neat but my only gripe with manufacturers now is why aren't they including a hdmi option? Like bro were in '23 now most tvs barely got rca let alone component anymore. It gets tiring buying conversion cables just to be able to play good old games. Tired of these shitty ass clones with reversed duty cycles that suck they need to cut that out. Like how difficult would it be or add to the cost to facilitate the entertainment 🤔 I would dish out the extra cash to have it built-in. I'm saying if you really thinking about it, they are going the extra mile to do all these redesigns and cool things why not add the most important feature? 🤷‍♂️

[@grafxgear]

Simply put RGB/HDMI is a waste when it comes to the NES. Signals are taken directly from the PPU and are manipulated for anything beyond composite. The reality is you should just use a clone system at that point, which can be had for much less money.

[@rubenmejia4881]

@GrafxGear if that's the case why did kevtris hi-def nes kit sell out every time it has been in stock? There's definitely a demand for it, I beg to differ.

[@grafxgear]

@@rubenmejia4881 That is alogical fallacy. I never said there wasn't a demand for it. My point is its misunderstood and the money is essentially wasted

[@rubenmejia4881]

Well I guess I would have to shake hands and politely disagree lol I just don't agree with the audio inaccuracies from the clones and I would rather much prefer a cleaner and updated video signal than composite. I see where you're going in terms of why wasting the extra money but there's always someone out there would still would dish out the cash for the upgrade.

[@21DegrassiStreet]

I'm playing old consoles on my OLED, not a CRT. While I do have component, I'm going to want to use HD.

[@amanhasnoname8130]

This is a waste of money. My tv and millions like it can't even play this. Much better to go emulation. Well what about the cartridges? What about them?

[@Cam-zv1jq]

Yea man

[@juanbermudez964]

You mention the you don’t know any clone console with rgb, well you can find a clone console with rgb using original chips! Also it look better then this one ☝️

[@PolytronikDigital]

i hate it . pointless

[@KYBlueJedi]

200+ dollars for that? NO SALE. It should at least have RGB component or HDMI output options.

[@Tai827vtuber]

Do you think you could cover the Famicom adapter? I have yet to see a clone using a adapter that felt comfortable to use. That would really sway me if it worked well. My Famicom works fine. But its showing signs of wear. I would love to replace it with a newer system.

[@martinaurik2189]

I’m curious if there ever gonna be a PS2 clone console with HD upscaling,better sound and lightgun support.Or that Sony brings a “PS2 mini”with at least 50 games on it.

[@pungisotu]

PS2 could use an HDMI 1080p upgrade.

[@XanYT]

I'm in the camp that composite only stuff shouldn't be released in 2023. TV manufactures should do us a favor and stop putting composite input on TVs. Then this might stop.

[@Clay3613]

The price of this is bullshit, just like the new unfair price of the AVS. NES Clones should not be this much ever!

[@LemonRush7777]

For this price and the lack of an HDMI, I would honestly go for a MiSTER.

[@megamix5403]

I'd argue that the NSO service is another good (albeit limited) way of playing NES games. Especially if you have a the official wireless controllers or the 8BitDo N30 (like I have). After all, it introduced me to some hidden games such as Nightshade and Fire & Ice. That being said, it's awesome to see something like this out in the wild and even more awesome to see the NES get some love in 2023. It's truly a goated system.

Too bad it's so tacky, ugly, and distasteful looking when compared to the shell design of the OEM NES.

[@BackForwardPunch]

You’re asking “Who is this for?” But I am actually pretty confused. Like your monitor, composite is not on most devices nowadays. Using the genuine parts means there was an NES destroyed somewhere to give it’s chips to that system. Is that preservation? This is a topic very open to discussion, but just don’t understand this one at all. If you’re a purist, would real hardware be the whole point? 🤔

[@pacsonic9000]

What about playing NES games on the souljagame? Is that wrong?

Cool product, but it should have had RGB and HDMI out built-in

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

An original NES cost less than this. It's a waste of money. Either go for the original or get a emulator device like an Ambernic. At least those can play up PS1 games close to perfection.

[@Mike-B-Jackson]

No man, you did good. I'm in the exact same boat. At the end of the day I *know* this would end up on a shelf or in its box. The MiSTer is 100% as good as this, and as it already has RGB / HDMI it's already better. The only thing you're "missing out" on is using real carts, but lets be honest - we're just going to use an Everdrive N8 anyway haha. I honestly don't know who this is for. The ONLY appeal is the real CPU/GPU, as the output is laughably composite only. If there's RGB down the line, it'll cost a pretty penny for sure and even then it'll only be catching up to the MiSTer. Don't regret not buying this.

[@meetoo594]

I doubt there will be an N64 mini. Apart from mario64 and mariocart all the best games were by developers like rare who won't be able to licence their games to Nintendo at this point. There really aren't many must have and fondly remembered games , I'm betting they just couldn't get enough of the good ones to make it attractive to consumers. Add to that it didn't sell very well compared to the competition so the market is much smaller. Also, the graphics have aged very badly. The SNES,pc engine, neogeo and megadrive sprite based gfx are almost timeless but early 3d just looks horrible nowadays, especially on modern TV's. The emulation hardware will be more expensive and the software will be tricky to get 100%. So no, I don't think it will happen anytime soon.
