Key Facts:

  • The Analogue 3D machine, which aims to replicate N64 hardware without emulation, has been delayed from its original planned release this year to the first quarter of 2025.
  • Preorders for the Analogue 3D are now open.
  • The device comes in black or white.

Additional Information:

  • Analogue has released first images of the machine.
  • An 8BitDo controller is intended for use with the 3D, retaining the original size, sub-layouts, and feel of the N64 controller, but not replicating its awkward form factor.
  • The 8BitDo controller will cost an additional $40 as it won't ship with the Analogue 3D.

If you're interested in owning a reimagined N64 experience with 4K upscaling, this could be the device for you. However, it's worth noting that the release has been pushed back.

Will the $40 extra cost for the controller significantly impact your decision to preorder the Analogue 3D?

Seems neat, but I just wish N64 games were worth the effort. Don't get me wrong, I was a huge N64 fanboy back in the day. But looking back on it, it just didn't hold up like PlayStation did. Aside from Nintendo's first party games and a select few third party, there isn't much id want to play on it.

I broke out my N64 earlier this year and got myself an upscaler and cleaned up my controllers. Played some games for a couple months and then got tired of em again.
