@broken hahaha! It will be cheaper than our CMVS. The price will be very reasonable, don't worry.



Definitely no blurring or color issues

Well hopefully its new manufactured parts because harvesting them from actual systems is just as shitty as bootleggers axing mvs and aes carts for their stuff. Systems might not be super expensive now but they will be if people start killing the official ones for stuff like this.

Yep, at the end of the month I'll have all final details.

haha, no I promise it is priced lower (not marginally) than our NEOGEOs. Our CMVS is hand crafted out of solid wood...so it's inherently very costly to produce.

Will there be an 8 week turnaround time on this like the cmvs?

Nope, since it is not a handcrafted item, there will not be a lead time!

Good stuff Chris. But I gotta say, as a Sega fanboy, what were the factors in choosing Nintendo over Sega for this type of project?

Well, interestingly enough - as a kid I never personally owned an NES. I grew up with Sega too. The Genesis and then a 32x were the first systems I actually owned as a kid. I still got to play with friends and such (contra, zelda etc), but I never had the opportunity to explore the entire library or spend a massive amount of time with it. Obviously at this point I've owned everything, but there are so many cool games for NES, Famicom and Famicom Disk System... Also it's pretty easy to play a Genesis in good quality, but NES/Famicom/FDS - in my opinion, it's a pain and there aren't any really good solutions.

Looks interesting, Chris. This explains a lot of the things you were experimenting with this past year.

Looking forward to more pics and pricepoint.

So does this actually have an FDS drive or do you mean that it'll work with the FDS's RAM adapter?

It is compatible with the original FDS system

I can understand the niche that you guys fill with the CMVS, but this one I'm not so sure about. At the end of the day, you don't provide any more functionality than any other RGB-modded NES coupled with a HoneyBee converter. And I don't see how you are building emulation-free systems without sacrificing original hardware, which seems like an unnecessary extra step. You could just as easily RGB-mod NES toasters and add Famicom slots on top.

The appearance of the NES is part of it's identity, so aside from twenty-something hipsters I'm not sure who would want to buy this. But hopefully I'm wrong (I guess).

@Jibbajaba I completely understand any reservations! We don't have all the details and features out just yet - bear with me till the end of the month and I can promise you that the differences and features will be dramatic and clear.

So realistically is the price on par with a RGB modded top loader and a honey bee converter? If not, im with Jibbajaba on this one as I dont see any benefits or a market for it . But with that said im interested in it nonetheless, so 18 days and counting!

I am interested in this.

I am not, however, interested in spending a shitload of money on this. Keep the price reasonable and I'm in.

Time to spam all the tech sites folks http://www.engadget.com/2014/03/12/nintendo-entertainment-system-mod-aluminum-analogue-interactive/

Haha time to get your wooden single block rgb aluminum non-emulated NES/Fami: https://twitter.com/Analogueint/statuses/443831827409559552

I am just having to much fun with this. Sorry christoph, it might be really cool but I find all this really fucking funny: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-much-would-you-pay-for-a-high-end-aluminum-nes/1100-6418269/

I can't help but think this thing it trying to be unnecessarily pretentious just for sake of being so.

Solid block of aluminum? Come the fuck on. This ain't a $60k McIntosh amp or anything.

Use a quality plastic enclosure and price it at a reasonable price and watch people flock to it like white on rice.


If this thing was $199 I could see some of the NES console modders shitting their shorts. That's of course depending on how good the video is and just how accurate a NES/Famicom it is. Blow either of these two and this thing is dead in the water.


But I am guessing it's gonna be $499 due to the fancy-pants enclosure.

Y'know, I'm beginning to notice it bears somewhat of a resemblance to the FPGA-based NES/Famicom clone bunnyboy was working on. Granted, bunnyboy's system will only output HDMI but I can't help but wonder.

Just a coincidence that this is being fully unveiled right around April Fool's Day? I'm just not buying it. A NES clone milled out of a solid block of aluminum? Come on...

Ouch....the price is a little high. But it does look nice.



P.S. - I only clicked on this thread because Hi-Fi. was in the title.

Many of us think it's Super 8 based.

Maybe that's because they partnered up with Christoph. Or perhaps he just bought the rights to it.
