Analogue 3D Is Delayed to July 2025

Retro gaming fans won’t be getting the Analogue 3D just yet.

The developers of the newly updated Nintendo 64 gaming system have officially announced that delivery will commence in July 2025.

Initially scheduled for release in 2024, the system has been postponed to early 2025, and now it appears it’s getting another delay. Analogue hasn’t disclosed a particular reason for this, but they’ve reassured customers that their efforts are focused on creating an outstanding product. They also confirmed that all pre-orders remain valid.

The Analogue 3D offers a new method for experiencing retro Nintendo 64 games, enhanced by contemporary improvements. Unlike conventional emulation, it leverages FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) technology to guarantee full compatibility with N64 cartridges from all regions. This means players can insert their original game cartridges and relive the authentic gaming experience, but now with 4K resolution and enhanced connectivity options.

As a passionate admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the product is tagged at $249.99, coming in both black and white variants. In sync with it, 8BitDo has announced a Bluetooth controller modeled after the classic 64, priced at $39.99, available separately. When this console was unveiled for pre-orders back in October 2024, it swiftly sold out, leaving fans like me on the edge of our seats, eagerly anticipating updates ever since.

As a devoted admirer, I just wanted to share some exciting news: If you’ve already pre-ordered the upcoming console from Analogue, there’s no action required on your part! Your order is secure and will remain valid until it’s ready to be shipped. In a week prior to shipping, you’ll receive an email to double-check your address details, ensuring the console finds its way safely to you. Enjoy the anticipation!

But if immediate usage is more your style, the company is continuing to provide a complete refund for all pre-orders. Some enthusiasts are disappointed by the hold-up, as they haven’t seen live demonstrations of the system from Analogue so far.

The company assures complete harmony with all Nintendo 64 games. However, people are eager to find out how effectively this new console can run classic titles, particularly those that tested the boundaries of the original system’s capabilities.

Currently, enthusiasts looking forward to replaying classic Nintendo 64 games in 4K resolution must wait until the Analogue 3D is released, which is expected in July 2025.
