The Analogue Nt, as it's known, makes classics like "Super Mario Bros. 3" – from 1990 – as gorgeous as possible by using an array of output methods.
The console plays every original NES game, as well as their Japanese equivalents ("Famicom" games).
More than just games, the Analogue Nt works with both original NES and Famicom gamepads too!
And yes, it also works with your old Zapper and R.O.B. the Robot and Power Glove and whatever other peripheral madness you bought in the '80s.
And yes, Analogue Nt will work on your modern television. The system has a variety of audio/video output options: RGB, Component, S-Video, and Composite. There's even an HDMI adapter if you want to make it extra easy.
The two slots on top of the console enable both original NES and Famicom games, as seen here.
Should you have four people and four gamepads in the vicinity, Analogue Nt is ready to accept all four of your controllers without a controller hub. That's actually an improvement over the original NES.
The system outputs video in both 720p and 1080p, upscaling aging classics to glorious modern resolutions. You can even add "scanlines" if you want, replicating how your old TV growing up used to look.
Though Nintendo still owns the rights to the original NES, patents on much of the hardware are no longer applicable – and that's why companies like Analogue Interactive can create fancy versions of aging hardware.
