<p>We’ve been keeping our eyes on the <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/tags/polymega">Polymega</a> for what feels like forever; the console aims to be the only retro gaming device you’ll need, offering support for a wide range of systems, including NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Neo Geo CD and even Sony PlayStation.</p>
<p>The project has hit a <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/12/polymega_slips_into_early_2020_but_its_bringing_some_cool_stuff_with_it">few delays</a> over the past few years, but beta units are now out in the wild and performance is <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/04/polymega_beta_units_are_out_in_the_wild_and_things_are_looking_pretty_impressive">impressive</a>; a second beta phase was due to happen recently but a production issue outside of the control of the Polymega team has delayed things. The second batch of beta units is expected to ship next week, <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/01/you_could_get_your_hands_on_a_polymega_early_thanks_to_its_upcoming_beta_test">so if you enrolled in that programme</a>, you might be getting an email soon.</p>

<p>The delay of the second beta phase – and the recent production hiccup – means that the Polymega team has now pencilled in November 15th, 2020 as the proposed launch date for the base unit and the four announced modules – which means it will be around a year late (it was supposed to be with us for the 2019 holiday season, or thereabouts). However, it has been stated that this date could <em>potentially</em> come forward.</p>
<p>It has also been revealed that support Famicom carts could be on the table:</p>
