Analogue has officially revealed details about its upcoming 4K Nintendo 64-inspired console, slated for launch in early 2025. Priced at $249, the new system, which has been dubbed “Analogue 3D,” promises to offer an enhanced gaming experience by allowing players to enjoy their favorite Nintendo 64 titles in stunning 4K resolution.
The console aims to provide a nostalgic experience for fans of the original Nintendo 64, but with modern upgrades that are appealing to both retro gaming enthusiasts and new gamers alike. The Analogue 3D will support an array of classic N64 games, ensuring that the library is robust and varied.
Unlike some previous models from Analogue, this console will not support openFPGA, which may be a disappointment for some users looking for customization options. However, the emphasis on delivering high-quality graphics and an authentic N64 experience is likely to attract significant interest.
Pre-orders for the Analogue 3D are set to begin on an unspecified date, so fans are encouraged to stay tuned for further announcements.
