Analogue Duo FPGA Retro Console Arriving This Week

Introducing Duo - The Higher Energy Analogue System. You've always known what to expect from a video game system. Until now. Duo is an all-in-one reimagining of perhaps the most underappreciated video game systems of all time. Analogue Duo is compatible with nearly every NEC system and game format ever made. TurboGrafx-16. PC Engine. SuperGrafx. TurboGrafx CD. PC Engine CD-ROM. Super Arcade CD-ROM. 1080p. Zero lag. Bluetooth. 2.4 G. Because the last thing a video game system should be is predictable. Completely engineered in FPGA. Analogue OS. No emulation.

We're preserving history with FPGA hardware. Duo is designed with unparalleled compatibility. The core functionality of each system is engineered directly into an Altera Cyclone V, a sophisticated FPGA. We spent thousands of hours engineering each system via FPGA for absolute accuracy. Unlike the knock off and emulation systems that riddle the market today, you'll be experiencing the entire NEC era free of compromises. Duo is designed to preserve video game history, with the respect it deserves.
Duo does it all. Hucards & CD-ROM
Duo is the ultimate all-in-one NEC video game system. Duo features an original-style cartridge slot, controller port and CD-ROM drive. This means it is compatible with all game formats: Hucards, TurboChips, and CD-ROM. Plus the original hardware and accessories.

Twice the Wireless - Bluetooth & 2.4 G
With Duo, you have the power to choose how to connect. Bluetooth and 2.4 G are built right in. Sync up any wireless 8BitDo Bluetooth or 2.4 G controller directly to Duo for wireless play. Up to 4 player support. No receivers required.

Wired Too
You can even connect controllers directly via an original-style port and the wired USB ports, too.

Turbografx-16 on Pocket
If you can play it here, you can play it anywhere. TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine & SuperGrafx are coming to Pocket. For the first time since the original TurboExpress in 1990, you can play the entire 16-bit library of TurboGrafx-16, PC Engine & SuperGrafx games anywhere with Pocket. Available for preorder.

I think I will have to buy one. Been looking for a Turbo Duo for decades now and now I got the chance.

Holy sh!t! I'm going to buy this. I still have the Tubro-Grafx16 w/ CD player. I can play my old games again and not have to worry if this is the last time my original system will turn on.

***If only they sold a NeoGeo. Oh well, can't have it all.

You can play Neo Geo Pocket Color stuff natively on the Analogue Pocket. Among other things.

SNK sells NeoGeo still, though yeah analogue should. I have their NES option and it's great.
