Nintendo Switch fans should be ready to rejoice on the new Nintendo 64 console that is in 3D by Analogue.  It will be released in 2025 in Quarter 1 at a price tag of $249.99 in black or white.  I heard in an article from The Verge that preorders for the Analogue 3D will start on October 21 at 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time.

I found out that the Analogue 3D is an updated version of the Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo Enterainment Systems.  Most old-school Nintendo 64 gaming fans will be excited to hear that "Analogue will be 100% compatible with the N64's cartridge library by utilizing FPGA technology, which allows it to function like the original console."  

What are the benefits of the Analogue 3D by Analogue?

The benefits of the Analogue 3D by Analogue of the inspired Nintendo 64 cartridge according to Tweaktown is the "Original Display Mode" which allows gamers to play classic games such as Golden Eye 007, Super Mario 64 or Perfect Dark with stunning recreations of cathode ray tube which offers excellent contrast, accuracy and color fidelty.

A second benefit is the Bluetooth 8 Bit Do 64 controller, which sports the old-school N64 trident controller design.  According to an article by Kosta Andreadis "Analogue is the world's first 100% compatible recreation of a N64.  There are no incompatibility in audio, graphing, input or timing and framerate.  It is also important to know that the Analogue 3D includes WIFI and its operating system has a 4K VRR output with support service for the Bluetooth controller.  How cool is that?
