TL;DR: Analogue has announced a final delay for the Analogue 3D Nintendo 64 FPGA console, now shipping in Q4 2025. This high-resolution, FPGA-based system offers full compatibility with all 388 N64 games, Bluetooth, WiFi, and original-style controller ports, emphasizing quality and precision in its development.

The Analogue 3D has been delayed again, and is now expected to ship in Q4 2025.

"We know this sucks. Another delay, announced late, after months of patience. We feel it too. Analogue3D has been in development for 4 years, obsessively, and it's at 99%. The last 1% is where we're focused," the console-makers said today.

The custom-built FPGA system is stylized after Nintendo's popular N64 console from the 1990s, with the added bonus of modern bells and whistles like Bluetooth and WiFi support. The Analogue 3D is also fully compatible with the platform's entire 388-game cartridge library.

Unfortunately, the $250 Analogue 3D remains sold out on the storefront, so these updates are more for people who already purchased and are waiting for the system.

The company explained the delay further:

Analogue has been moving at maximum pace, processing shipping to everyone who has been patiently waiting. Unexpected, uncommon issues are rare. Especially in a negligible degree under esoteric circumstances.

We're ensuring every detail meets our standard.

This has moved our shipping date to Q4 - intentionally set conservatively. We're pushing without pause and appreciate everyone's patience and trust. Analogue will always deliver - delays or not, it's a commitment to our standard of care.

Here's a bit of info about the Analogue 3D:

  • A reimagining of the N64. In 4K resolution. 10x the resolution of the original N64.
  • Analogue3D is 100% compatible with every original N64 game ever made.
  • Region Free. Bluetooth LE, Dualband WiFi, four original-style controller ports.
  • Entirely new, next generation Analogue hardware featuring 3DOS. Engineered entirely in FPGA. No Emulation.
