The long-delayed Analogue 3D is shipping later this month

First announced in October 2023 with an expected release sometime in 2024, the Analogue 3D is finally shipping on November 18th following repeated delays. The console is Analogue’s reimagined and upgraded version of the Nintendo 64 with 4K output and full compatibility with original N64 cartridges from every region, including both PAL and NTSC versions.

Exactly a year after the original announcement, Analogue shared more details about the Analogue 3D including the console’s design, which looks similar to the N64’s. As with the company’s other consoles like the Pocket, the Analogue 3D uses FPGA technology to exactly replicate the functionality of Nintendo’s original hardware which has proven to be notoriously difficult to accurately emulate, even for Nintendo. It also has four N64 controller ports plus Bluetooth for those wanting to play wirelessly, and includes optional display modes that mimic the appearance of games played on older CRT TVs.

If you’ve been dragging your feet on preordering the Analogue 3D until you were confident it would ship, you’re unfortunately now out of luck as both the white and black versions are listed as sold out on the company’s online store. However, Analogue has expanded production runs of its previous consoles, and has released several versions of the Analogue Pocket in different colors and finishes.
