Analog 3D game console with support for Nintendo 64 cartridges is presented

The American company Analogue has introduced Analogue 3D, a reimagined modernized version of the legendary Nintendo 64 game console. Pre-orders will start on October 21, and the device will cost $249.

One of the main advantages of Analogue 3D is the full support of cartridges for the original Nintendo console. The company claims that their console has support for 100% of the original games that were ever developed for the N64.

To achieve this result, the team spent four years developing the console using a special hardware FPGA chip to avoid all the problems that arise when emulation is required.

The company also says that Analogue 3D will give owners the opportunity to experience true CRT quality on 4K HDTV. The console will have several modes called Original Display Modes that aim to recreate CRT displays.

Just like the original, the new console will support local multiplayer for up to 4 players and will have 4 ports for controllers and wireless connectivity. Analogue also presented a new wireless gamepad created in partnership with 8BitDo, but it will be sold separately for $39. No controllers will be bundled with the console.

In addition, a 3D OS has been specially created for the console, which aims to bring all the best of the N64 and add new useful features. The Analogue 3D will also support original accessories, have an SD slot and 2 USB ports.
