- Analogue has officially delayed the release of the Analogue 3D to July 2025.
- The console was planned to release in Q1 2025 alongside a new 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth controller, which is sold separately.

Analogue has announced that the Analogue 3D, the company’s reimagined Nintendo 64 console, has been delayed to July 2025. Originally planned to release in Q1 2025, the Analogue 3D allows Nintendo 64 fans to play their favorite classic games from the console with a promise of 100% compatibility for the entire N64 library.
In October 2024, Analogue announced the Analogue 3D will launch for a price of $249.99 with its initial Q1 2025 release window. The Analogue 3D will be available in black and white variants, and gaming controller and accessory manufacturer 8BitDo announced the company will be producing an official 64 Bluetooth Controller, which is sold separately for $39.99 on Amazon. Demand for the Analogue 3D was made clear when stock quickly ran out moments after pre-orders went live in October last year, and fans eager to re-experience their favorite Nintendo 64 games on the new console will have to wait longer due to the most recent delay.
