Analogue has announced yet another delay for their highly anticipated 4K take on the Nintendo 64 console, now slated for release in Q4 2025. This marks the third delay, with previous ones occurring in March and July due to tariffs. The postponement is stated to be a conservative estimate and may not lead to further concern.
The Analogue 3D, leveraging FPGA technology, is set to offer emulation for every official N64 cartridge without any slowdowns or discrepancies. Despite the setbacks, Analogue assures customers that their commitment to quality remains unwavering and states, ‘The last 1% is where we’re focused.’
While some may wonder why invest $250 for the Analogue 3D when a used Nintendo 64 is available for under $100, Analogue’s version promises 4K output, variable refresh rate displays, and compatibility with both PAL and NTSC carts. Additionally, it offers ‘original display mode’ filters that emulate old-school TV displays, similar to the highly rated Analogue Pocket handheld console.
Pre-order customers can request refunds if they wish to withdraw their orders. Analogue expresses its appreciation for customer patience and trust, emphasizing the importance of delivering a complete product that meets its high standards even if it involves delays.
