Analogue3D has arrived, promising to transform our nostalgic journey through the iconic N64 era.

With a reimagined system delivering 4K resolution—ten times the original—this is more than just a retro console; it’s a meticulous preservation of gaming history.

100% Compatibility: A "Milestone in Gaming Preservation"

Analogue3D offers complete compatibility with every N64 game ever made.

Engineered using FPGA technology, this system eliminates the issues often associated with software emulation, like input lag and graphical inaccuracies.

What does that mean?

Players can now experience their favourite titles as they were meant to be played, without any compromises.

The N64 was not merely a collection of pixels; it thrived on the unique characteristics of CRT displays.

Analogue3D captures this essence, providing true CRT reference quality for modern HDTVs.

The system includes original display modes that emulate the warmth and texture of classic CRT screens, enhancing the authenticity of every frame.

This isn’t just about upscaling; it’s a fundamental reworking of how these games look and feel.

The Heart of Multiplayer Gaming

Often hailed as the greatest multiplayer console, the N64 had a library where around 70% of games supported multiplayer.

Analogue3D seeks to revive that spirit, offering four original-style controller ports and seamless integration with the original accessories.

Multiplayer sessions become an experience where connections are forged—not just through gameplay but through shared memories and laughter.

In collaboration with 8BitDo, Analogue has crafted a wireless recreation of the original N64 controller.

It retains the familiar layout and feel, while addressing common issues like joystick looseness with a superior HALL Effect joystick. Not just a tribute then; it’s designed for modern play while honouring the legacy of the original.

Alongside the hardware, the new 3DOS system enhances the user experience.

Redesigned in 4K, it caters specifically to N64 gaming, offering features that dive deep into the gaming library. It’s about preserving and exploring the past while adapting to modern needs.
