TerraOnion just hosted an all new FPGA Direct where they had a handful of really exciting announcements. Foremost among them was the next generation of their TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine accessory, the Super HD System 3 Pro. 

A new way to play Turbo

This all new ODE is designed to do everything the Super SD System 3 did, but with some hefty new additions. 

First and foremost, it's got HDMI support right out of the box, so connecting your system to your TV via HDMI is as easy as pie. But if you're a CRT kind of player, don't worry. It's got built-in RGB output in there as well. 

It's a considerably more powerful FPGA as well, which awards the unit some fancy new options. For starters, it's got SuperGrafx support! The entire SuperGrafx library will be accurately playable on any TurboGrafx-16 or PC Engine console without the need for the SuperGrafx unit. This is in addition to the already existing support for all HuCard, CD-ROM2, Super CD-ROM2 and Arcade CD-ROM2 games. 

It's also got a completely reworked audio output system, which means your games will sound better and more accurate than ever before.  

Of course, you can't have new hardware like this without sprucing up the interface, and they've reworked it from the ground up. Making it more in line with the menu system found in MODE, the new Super HD System 3 Pro's interface features multiple color options, lightning fast scrolling and loading, and yes, a cover art view. Now you'l be able to browse your library by looking at the original artwork!

A few other bonus features include a remarkably in-depth customizable scan line generator, a physical button for the in-game trigger, the ability to run other system cores like the NES, and more.

When are we getting it?

Our orders will come from the second batch that's being produced. What that means is, we estimate that we'll start seeing units around September 2021. The price is also currently estimated to be around $354.99. Again, these are just estimates. With the global parts shortage and ongoing global pandemic, all of this information is subject to change.
