Analogue has been fighting the good fight for video game preservation for many years now. From Analogue Duo to Analogue Pocket and many other pieces of hardware in between, the company strives to allow players to keep utilizing the physical media of consoles from the past but with modernized hardware that offers everything from enhanced resolution to more varied controller options.
The latest project, Analogue3D, is an FPGA console that will play all your old Nintendo 64 games slated for a Q1 2025 shipping window.

It’s bizarre that this round of preorders is on its way to selling out and we have zero screenshots. (Am I wrong? Has anyone here found any?)
A super-HD N64 sounds great, but I need to see a creepy falling moon or a 4-player shootout etc, at the advertised fidelity, before I put down that sort of money.
One thing I’m not confused by is the controller – it looks great! I hope there’s a version with proper button colors at some point.
