Analogue, the company best known for creation some incredibly-slick modern versions of classic consoles that use specialty hardware to play original game cartridges without emulation – like the Analogue Pocket – has announced its next big project and it’s a very exciting one.
That’s right, Analogue is about to recreate the Nintendo 64.
Dubbed the Analogue 3D, it’ll sport 4K resolution with original Display Modes, all-region compatibility with legacy N64 cartridges, “reference quality” recreations of specific model CRTs, Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz compatibility along with four original-style controller ports and more all built on hardware designed to give a true retro experience without software-based emulation.
The website for the Analogue 3D also teases its controller redesign, which you can see below (we increased the brightness so you can see a little more of it than intended…):
The Analogue 3D is slated to launch next year, and you can sign up for notifications on the official web page at analogue.co/3d.
