Analogue 3D Brings Back Retro Nostalgia With New Funtastic Colorways
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Analogue is restocking its FPGA-powered N64 clone, the Analogue 3D, in eight nostalgic Funtastic colors alongside matching 8BitDo controllers, giving retro enthusiasts a new chance to grab the hardware just in time for the holidays.
If you missed out on the initial launch of the Analogue 3D, you are getting a second chance to grab the high-end, FPGA-powered Nintendo 64 clone. Analogue is bringing the hardware back in eight distinct Funtastic colorways that directly reference the translucent and bright aesthetics of the year 2000. Fans of the era can look forward to picking up units in Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clear, Smoke, and Gold. Accessory maker 8BitDo is also launching matching versions of its 64 Controller, making full rainbow setups or coordinated four-player couch sessions an option for collectors.
This new batch of colorful consoles carries a slight price bump for enthusiasts willing to pay for the aesthetic upgrade. The Funtastic edition will retail for $299.99, which is thirty dollars higher than the standard black and white versions and fifty dollars above the original pre-order price. Orders go live on the official Analogue online store, with the company aiming to ship these colorful units before Christmas. Alongside this drop, standard models are also returning to the queue with shipments slated for January 2026.
Hardware emulation and hardware-level retro preservation continue to be major talking points for modern players who value physical media and original cartridge collections over cloud subscriptions or digital storefront rentals. While the price point places these machines firmly in collector territory, the appeal of playing original hardware libraries with modern display compatibility remains strong.
