Pre-orders are now open for RetroTime's upcoming Bluetooth hub for the NES. It is the first attachment for the system's mysterious expansion slot in almost 40 years.

Buried the lede there

Another feature, Expansion Audio, enables some Famicom games to use additional sound channels.

What's the Famitracker crowd's take on this?

I believe Famitracker already supports the Famicom mappers that took advantage of the extra audio. Pretty cool to think the NES can finally output that music too after all this time.
