Analogue Fully Unveils Its Modernized N64 – Preorders Go Live October 21
Analogue has lifted the veil on its modernized Nintendo 64 console. Originally teased last year–exactly one year ago today, in fact–the Analogue 3D plays N64 game cartridges in 4K resolution. Like other Analogue devices, the 3D was built using FPGA to provide an authentic N64 experience while also allowing users to enjoy the benefits of playing on modern displays. It even supports all of the original accessories. But if you want to cut the cord and ditch the three-prong N64 controller, Analogue collaborated with 8BitDo on a new-style controller that looks quite lovely.
The Analogue 3D is designed to offer the “the essence of CRT” on a 4K TV. You can cycle through various display modes made to reproduce the effect of an old-school television set. There’ll be two models available–one in white and the other in black–and the Analogue 3D is priced at $250. Preorders will begin on October 21 at 8 AM PT, and if the initial preorder window is anything like other Analogue releases, the console will likely sell out very fast. The Analogue 3D will begin shipping in Q1 2025.
Check out the Analogue 3D’s design in the image slideshow below. The clean white and black color options appear to match the original white and black editions of the Analogue Pocket, the company’s superb modernized Game Boy.
