Analog's Mega Sg is an elegant and high-end Sega Genesis.

Analogue is renowned for its high-end consoles designed to play classic Nintendo games. From now on, the company focuses on Sega. Today, Analogue announces the Mega Sg, a retro console that can read Sega Genesis, Mega Drive and Master System cartridges, and works seamlessly with modern TVs. "I wanted to do everything in the end, be the entire Sega system for a long time," says Christopher Taber of Analogue. "There is no way to explore Sega's story and it's time to give it back what it deserves."

If you know the work of Analogue, you know exactly what to expect from the Mega Sg service. Just like the Super Nt, a post-market Super Nintendo launched earlier this year, the Mega Sg is a modern console designed to play old games and reproduce them in high resolution with high fidelity sound. It connects to your TV via HDMI. According to Analogue, the Sega console supports over 2,100 cartridges, features original controller ports and even comes with a side adapter for the Sega CD. (Currently, the Mega Sg does not support the 32X add-on.) In addition, the company will sell cartridge adapters to allow you to play games such as Game Gear portable games on your big screen.

Analogue's first big hit came from its beautiful aluminum grip on the NES, but for the Super Nt, the company opted for a more affordable plastic shell. This trend continues with Mega Sg. The new console is compact, like its predecessor SNES, but it also has undeniable advantages in terms of Sega design. The company has partnered with English design studio Kenyon Weston to create the new device. "KW has done a great job in summarizing the fundamentals behind what makes Mega Drive and Genesis what they are: ringing, powering, and resetting buttons, and thick chamfers on the left and right. right, "says Taber. The Mega Sg will be available in four colors: a white version and three iterations based on the American, European and Japanese iterations of the classic Sega console.

Like the Super Nt, the Mega Sg supports wireless controllers, although it is not equipped; you'll be able to buy a separate Sega-style gamepad for $ 24.99 in February. The console will cost $ 189 and is expected to be available in March. This is a natural progression for Analogue and it perfectly matches the ambitions of the company. "We design systems to celebrate and explore the history of video games with the respect it deserves," said Taber.
