Retro game console maker Analogue, the manufacturer behind the Game Boy-like Analogue Pocket, and 16-bit consoles Super Nt, Mega Sg, and Analogue Duo, is taking on the Nintendo 64 next. A new, FPGA-powered console called the Analogue 3D is coming in 2024, Analogue announced Monday, and it will play Nintendo 64 games at 4K resolution.
Analogue calls its “reimagining of the N64” the “first and only aftermarket solution supporting 100% [compatibility] in every region,” meaning it plans to support games from the U.S., Europe, and Japan with its new retro console. That support is at the hardware level; Analogue promises there’s no emulation involved in how the Analogue 3D plays N64 games.
While 4K resolution on modern monitors may be the draw for retro gaming enthusiasts with a passion for pixel counts, Analogue is also promising era-authentic display options. Original display modes featuring reference-quality re-creations of specific CRT (cathode ray tube) TV and PVM (professional video monitor) models are also promised, according to Analogue’s announcement.
The Analogue 3D will support Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, and will feature four original-style controller ports, so your existing N64 controllers should work. Analogue’s announcement also teases a new Nintendo 64-compatible wireless controller from 8BitDo that veers from Nintendo’s original trident design. Here’s a sneak peek, lightened somewhat to offer a closer look:
As for the Analogue 3D console itself, Analogue has shown only a small glimpse of its new hardware:
Analogue did not announce Pricing and release date for the Analogue 3D were not announced. Recent Analogue consoles and handhelds have been priced in the $199.99 to $249.99 range. The N64-inspired console is due sometime in 2024, and Analogue suggests that interested buyers sign up for its newsletter to learn more.

While information continues to leak regarding Intel's new LGA 1851 socket for its upcoming Arrow Lake CPUs, it has been noted that as things stand the physical CPU size is likely to remain the same as the previous generation, albeit in a socket with a greater number of pins. This has started some speculation as to whether coolers designed for the older LGA 1700 socket will be compatible with the new CPUs, and the release of AZZA's latest Cube 240 and Cube 360 AIO units may well confirm it.

Ysbryd Games’World of Horror has finally exited early access and is available now for PC. However, the developer needs more time to release it on Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4 in North America and Europe. Thankfully, it’s not a long delay, as console players in the West can play it on October 26th.
In an insane twist of fate absolutely no one saw coming one of the most niche but utterly charming DS titles is making its fantastic return to the west at last. This series made its debut on DS where the first two titles managed to see localization but the third entry on 3DS never did. Last year this trilogy of titles launched on the Nintendo Switch and a given that the third entry never saw the light of day originally most fans deigned it unlikely to ever see the light of day again in English. Fortunately all that is no longer the case as we’ve been given an announcement today from Nicalis that this trilogy is not only coming, but planning to launch early next year for Nintendo Switch! Those who have kept up with the franchise know that it’s seen a slew of spin-offs over the years including the previous released Funghi Explosion for Nintendo Switch. This trilogy will include all the side games on DS featuring Funghi in addition to slews of concept art, comics and more fun little bonuses for players to check out. The biggest reveal by far is simply that the third entry will be available in English for the very first time so those who have been in love with the series since the DS era will finally be able to see how this story concluded.
