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?

What is the use in upscsling to 4k games that have very low res textures? Goldeneye is a great game but everyone is blocky and everything is angular with repeating texture images, what benefit is upscaling if the base is just not there?

They use filters to mimic the appearance of a CRT. This can make games that were designed for a CRT look significantly better than rendering them directly for modern LCD displays.

Some examples from a quick search:
