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?

Using FPGA is emulation, Analogue needs to stop spreading that lie.

I think if I were to be pedantic I would call software emulation “simulation” and hardware emulation “emulation.” Software attempts to match the characteristics of the game output. Emulation attempts to match the hardware .

Accurate softwareemulatoras try to replicate the hardware as well. Near wrote a blog post about it back in the day. Here’s an archived copy of said post.
