Analogue's highly anticipated console, the Analogue 3D, which allows players to enjoy original N64 cartridges in stunning 4K, has had its shipments delayed to July 2025. Initially set to ship in Q1 2025, the delay comes as a blow to fans eager to relive their nostalgia. Preorders have been available since late 2024, and the company assures customers that no action is necessary for those who have already placed orders. Furthermore, Analogue offers a hassle-free refund policy should anyone decide to cancel their preorder.

Analogue 3D is touted as a significant achievement in video game preservation, being the world’s first authentic recreation of the Nintendo 64, boasting full compatibility without the common issues associated with software emulation. Gamers can now experience their cherished N64 titles just as they were meant to be played, which eliminates input lag and inaccuracies in graphics and audio.

When will the Analogue 3D console be available for shipping?

The Analogue 3D console is now set for shipping in July 2025, having been delayed from its original Q1 2025 release window.

The Analogue 3D aims to bring back this beloved gaming experience while ensuring compatibility and performance that modern gaming setups demand.

Ah, the Analogue 3D delay is a bummer, but honestly, I’d rather wait for a polished product than deal with rushed tech. Plus, the idea of playing N64 classics in 4K without the usual emulation quirks is *chef’s kiss*—here’s to hoping it lives up to the hype
