It's one of the best consoles of the 90s and it's coming back renewed

A classic brought back to life

It was in 1993 that NEC entered the market and decided to bet on the CD format with a console that retains the full power of your PC Engine/TurboGrafx 16 but with this extra capacity that allows you to have a total of 650 MB at your disposal. Intros, music and more possibilities to expand the games came with this model which, at least in Europe, was not so popular among the authentic players and operated within very limited circles of influence.

Now with fashion miniature In which we have been living for a few years, what has just been announced by the Analogue company is surprising, a brand that has already launched a Game Boy clone capable of natively reproducing original cartridges for sale with enormous success and is now trying its luck with this Duo, quite simply, which is a tribute to one of the most famous gaming systems

of three decades ago.

The proof is the immense hype which prompted the announcement since we had been hearing about a development for three years Now, yes, it has a definite date for its sale: at least to reserve one for us on the day of the release, which will be tomorrow, May 19, around 3:00 p.m. in Europe (8:00 a.m. Pacific) for a price of $249.99.

What can we play with?

as you are told, This Analog Duo takes the design of the original NEC console and it will also be sold in two colors: black and white. The first is in honor of the American TurboDuo which went on sale in the United States and the second for the PC Engine Duo which was only released in Japan. So you decide which of the two versions you are going to bet on.

And when it comes to games, you can use all the ones you have at home, both in card format (the famous HuCard of a lifetime) and the CDs themselves

where some classics like Castlevania, etc. So if you still have your small collection of classics, take advantage of it because this Analogue Duo does not emulate anything, it plays games natively as if it were the original system.

But it is that in addition to that you have all the advantages of modern technology, such as the wireless controls (not wired), digital audio and video outputs at 1080p via HDMI and support for any title for any console, regardless of whether it is American, Japanese or European in the case of having reached the stores: TurboGrafx 16, PC Engine, SuperGrafx, TurboGrafx CD . PC Engine CD-ROM or Super Arcade CD-ROM, for example.

as you are told, The thing looks like they’ll run out fast units that are on sale so if you are VERY interested…you know what to do.
