That's partially thanks to ports: Analogue faithfully recreated not only four original NES controller ports, but also a Famicom Disk System socket. And of course, there's HDMI and a variety of analog audio and video options.
Analogue says it spent 5,000 hours reverse-engineering the actual NES's silicon chips to fit on a new field programmable gate array (FPGA) -- an Altera Cyclone V. Only six screws and two ribbon cables stand in the way of seeing for yourself.
The console's body is carved from a single block of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. If you open it up, remove the motherboard and tap it with a hammer, it'll ring clear as a bell. (We tried.)
The Analogue Nt Mini can play both NES and Famicom games. The blue Rockman / Mega Man cartridge is the latter. (You won't find any of the games in this picture on Nintendo's NES Classic.)
