Holy shit, John is too good for this world. The amount of depth and quality oozing from these videos is unbelievable.

Wow. 25 DF Retro episodes. My how time passes by. Love this series, John. Keep the episodes coming, man. :)

Man I'd love DF Retro to get a spin off channel, I could watch this every day

Love that you included "Drifting Love" by Keiji Yamagishi in this video.

That TMNT 2 intro though, good old days

Keep up the good work! Always love these DF retro episodes.

DF retro, such a great way to start Sunday mornings.

Great video John, 20 minutes felt like 2. Thank you and keep up the good work! ☺

This is quickly becoming the best part of my Sunday! I had heard of those analogue systems but hadn't taken the time to do the reading. Thanks DF retro, now I have a way to enjoy Dragon Warrior 4, Game gear and game boy games on one display (love the inclusion of the info regarding the new LG OLED screens in relation as that is probably going to be my next primary display!

god its not like you all have access to the internet to go see Ryzen benchmarks somewhere else, I am a PC enthusiast but I love these DF retro videos.

Just picked me up a Noir. The inclusion of Sega Genesis support is really amazing. Also, the new power of the upgraded FPGA is a welcome addition to an already outstanding console. Thanks for making this video! Its always a special treat to watch your Retro coverage!

He's gonna take you back to the past.

I really like DF Retro, keep doing these series! It has to be a lot of work to write scripts, make voiceover, record game footage in such a long video format. Thank You.

Thanks for another great DF Retro video :) I had no idea the Anologue Nt Mini could play ROMs of Game Gear/Colecovision/etc. 8-bit systems too! That's incredible.

Minor correction: It isn't that the NES lacked the pins, just they were wired up to different ones on the 72-pin connector, which were then wired to the unused expansion port on the console's bottom (hence why a resistor mod is needed to hear such audio from a flash cartridge, or a Famicom adapter properly-wired up for the expansion audio to the NES slot pins after the mod).

If any tech noobs are wondering, you won't properly see the sprite flicker he's referring to unless you are watching the video with the quality set to 60fps

I've never been a huge retro gamer, but this thing looks absolutely great. I would love to buy this thing.

Amazing Video John! I'm always enjoying your work.

Great video! Loved the DF minute.

This is the most useful video no other channel is making, thank you

I loved how in depth this was :)

been waiting for ages on your ryzen review

Love the TMNT intro!

Every time I see an NT mini video, I really want one. Then I remember the price tag and... Well I won't say it's a bad value for the money, but that's still a large chunk of change .

Hey John, You guys should do a series on the ol Quake 3 engine games. There's a lot of interesting stuff to cover there.

Shout-out to Puyo Puyo on your shelf!!! also great video as usual

now all I need is a 16 bit machine like this!

Oooohh I like that Intro

When playing from original cartridges, are all the tweaks to the video output, cropping, sound etc. saved for each individual game?

I love retro! keep them making also please make some in this style vids like top 10 games of 1995 or sth like that

Thanks so much for this review, what an amazing little system.

Another awesome episode!

Always love your vids, thanks John! It'd be great to see RE1 covered. There are loads of versions to discuss, and it doesn't hurt that it's one of the most highly praised survival horror games

Any chance a video will come out about the NT Mini Noir?

FPGA's are God's gift to mankind. They certainly aren't cheap or easy to work with currently but they leave the door open for us to someday get perfect clones of SNES, N64, PS1, etc.

Wait... You missed what was done for parallax scrolling in Metal Storm... It overlaps. I would have loved to hear what you would say about it! ;) :)

Good Review John :), regarding the DF minute section: Metal Storm and Joe & Mac are no slouch either (J&M if i'm not mistaken on NES features up to 5 or even 6 layers of parallax scrolling).

I ask the same I asked on the NES Classic review. How about latency and how do they compare between each other an other products like retron and a raspberry pi running retropie? The real test is: Can it play zapper games over crt?

Hey John, i still want to play my favorite ever game StarFox Adventures on Original Gamecube Hardware, but not in crappy SVideo Quality, can you suggest an option here that not is the Component Cable that by now costs 300$? Would be very much appreciated!

Love the Saturn start-up sound :D

Fantastic thanks DF.

It would be great to see one of these hardware discussions for the n64, ps1, and saturn. It would be interesting to see each consoles strengths and weaknesses with sound, video, graphics, etc. and if or how developers overcame them. I recently got an n64 and was surprised by how blurry the picture comes out compared to the playstation when outputting on the same crt television with s-video.

will you be reviewing vacuum cleaners anytime in the future?

22:00 Did i hear my lord and savior? Hatsune Miku?

Lot of dry PC coverage on Digital Foundry and I find some of their console stuff is pretty sarcastic and condescending. But I love John. Owning a PC and gaming on it is fine. I have a half decent PC myself... plus a multitude of consoles (I don't feel like its a betrayal of the master race). But I feel like John gets the joy of console gaming and the thrill of getting a new system or game, as well as the nostalgia of dusting off an old one. He is always surrounded by consoles and games from all platforms and eras, I appreciate the enthusiasm and passion for all types of gaming he exudes in his videos. Great work John. Keep 'em coming.

ROMS on the analogue nt looks the same as the original cart, or ROMS have issues? (beginner question)

Great video, thanks :)

Man I’d love to see you all do something on the NT mini Noir v2 but I understand you all are busy.

What should i get, Nt Mini or Retron 5?

Is there something akin to this, that uses original hardware, but for N64 and/or SNES/SFC?

What game and song is the song playing at the end of the video?!

your videos rock so fucking hard, good job.

John, did you buy one of the 10 Gold NT's? Not gonna lie it's a very classy looking piece.

Hey, what is the latest version of the jailbroken firmware? I have my NT Mini coming tomorrow and want to be sure I have the latest version ready to go.

Digital Foundry is one of the few youtube channels that i've whitelisted in Adblock. I will happily watch a minute long ad to support the amazing content they offer.

Great video guys :^)

Can you use the original controllers with this?

This is just too awesome! :)

Nice to see "Vice: Project Doom" in there.

What is the input lag like when you are using the Analogue Nt Mini on a LG OLED B6 TV?

Does the sprite limit buff also get rid of slowdowns in titles like Mega Man 3?

Totally worth it for the Atari 2600 vs. Xbox comparison.

Love the nes it brings me back to my childhood. Bing a kid saving all the money I earned shoveling snow and mowing lawns for my neighbors. Having my parents drive me to the mall to buy a new game, sometimes I didn't even know what game I wanted I would buy the game with the coolest box art. Most of the games I picked up were hit or miss but I loved that I had a new game. Today's games are great and their graphic capabilities are amazing but there is not a single person on the planet who will be playing gta5 in 20 years. I feel today's games are too easily accessible which makes them all disposable. My kids will never feel that excitement for a new game and I understand that's progress but it's also a little sad.

You should do Shadowman in DF Retro :) Great game for its time and a lot of different versions to analyze :)

does anyone know if its NATIVE or EMULATION when playing Game gear, atari, etc. on a jailbroken NT mini?

John are you wearing an outcast tshirt?? OULAKAI!!

whats the title of the last music track of the Video?

what was that second game at the beginning? I need that in my life.

Digital Foundary I Love Your Videos!!! I Wish I Was Part Of Your Team!!!!

4:27 this is the game that got me into gaming. masterpiece

Love it!

Composit video? When I was a kid we didn't have such luxury. We had to make do with RF.

Hehe ,good video . What is name of a game at 18:45 ( it's remind me Rick Dangerous on C64 ) i have played it at some point but can't remember the games name. Greetings

Didn't expect John to look like donkey Kong lol

Really dumb question but why do you own 2 copies of Halo 3, are they different at all?

Does the Game Gear core require a BIOS?

I'd love to see a df retro on metal gear solid

just watched same video from the game sack...... who knows it's so popular now

No Retro USB AVS review? NT is great but AVS is much more realistic for most budgets...great video btw

Though I think this is a good video to introduce people to this kind of hardware stuff, there are already people doing these with excellent quality and with more comparisons to similar options. My Life In Gaming comes to mind as an excellent source for this. I like the digging into old games and how they work/comparing different versions more; that's more unique content.

are the jailbreak systems emulation or not?

HDMI mods + installation get up there, and it also had the functionality of an Everdrive, $500 doesn’t sound too outrageous

Where is the Ryzen video?

About 3 minutes in, does anyone know what that rabbit game is? I'm having mad childhood flashbacks but I can't remember what it is.

I want a comparison, HDMI NES vs Analogue NT!

This thing is actually more advanced and more powerful than a Nintendo Switch.

Great video as usual! I know the purists may shun me for saying this but, why not buy a Nvidia Shield TV as it is very capable of software emulation at/up to 4k natively for the n64 and below. The price, and support for multiple consoles under decently accurate software emulation shouldn't be overlooked as a viable multiple machine emulator.

@Dark1x can you guys do a DF Retro on Chrono Cross?

We need a NT mini that plays SNES cartridges. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Dream machine

Would love to see this compared to the Retro AVS. It seems like the AVS does the same job without the massive price

I'd love to buy one of these, but the price was a bit of a turn off. anyways, great video John

Best Nintendo console released in a long time.

I was with you all the way up until $450.

Where is Witchard?

Apprently people think that all people at DF work on the same projects.

Loved it (the video)

hi John. nice jacket.

yeah great

$450? If the price becomes reasonable, then I want one. As things happen, I'd buy a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X first. It's crazy that a NES is competing for $€£ with the latest consoles in 2018. Great stuff.
