A $500 Aluminium NES is Going on Sale Next Month

Analogue Interactive's aluminum body NES, the Analogue Nt, should be ready for shipping in February, Polygon reports.

The company issued a number of photos showing the interior of the system today and commented, "We designed and manufactured the Analogue Nt's motherboard with an extraordinary focus on detail. It is designed and constructed like a piece of art using custom materials, rarely seen in PCB manufacturing."

Analogue says the board was produced with a "custom black PCB with exposed and raised copper traces, finished with a transparent solder mask."

The Analogue Nt does not require emulation to play NES and Famicom games and the system boasts "videophile and audiophile quality". Available for $499, the Analgoue Nt can be pre-ordered now. Analogue Interactive first announced the console in March of last year.
