Analogue 3D Revives Nintendo 64 with 4K VRR Support: A New FPGA Console Without Emulation for Every N64 Game

Analogue, the company known for creating FPGA-based consoles, has unveiled an exciting addition to their lineup: the Analogue 3D, a new take on the classic Nintendo 64 that is now complete with 4K VRR support. While the idea of a revamped N64 might not immediately grab everyone’s attention, enthusiasts focused on preserving the authentic experience of classic N64 games—without depending on PC emulation—will appreciate that the Analogue 3D operates without any need for emulation.

FPGA, which stands for “Field Programmable Gate Array,” plays a crucial role here. It means Analogue has reconstructed and elevated the Nintendo 64’s original capabilities, ensuring that its entire game library runs as intended without relying on software-based emulation. Analogue has demonstrated this technology before, notably with the Analogue Pocket, and now they’re dedicating their efforts to capturing the unique experience of the Nintendo 64.

While the announcement is dressed in grandiose language, there’s no ignoring the appeal this has for retro gamers and those passionate about preserving gaming history. If you’re considering the costs involved in modifying an original N64 with Bluetooth and 4K (VRR) outputs, the price of the Analogue 3D, which stands at $250, might feel like a bargain—especially if you’re not inclined or equipped for DIY modifications.

The Analogue 3D faithfully mirrors the Nintendo 64 experience, minus the hassles of region locking and the inconsistencies often introduced by emulators, such as input lag. With its assurance of 100% game compatibility, this makes it an attractive addition to any retro gaming fan’s collection.

Beyond supporting wireless Bluetooth controllers, the console remains compatible with the original Nintendo 64 controllers and accessories—like the Memory Paks—allowing you to easily traipse down memory lane with your old saves. The introduction of a Bluetooth 8BitDo 64 controller, crafted to accompany the console, further modernizes the experience with an Xbox-style layout and hall-effect analog sticks, promising enhanced durability over previous iterations.

Analogue doesn’t stop there. The console also boasts a 3D OS, offering features like Original Display Modes to mimic the look of CRT and PVM displays on today’s 4K screens. This has the potential to significantly improve visual clarity, particularly when combined with VRR support to reduce stuttering in certain N64 games. CRT enthusiasts may be skeptical, but if these modes rival or exceed the best CRT filters available in current emulation, the Analogue 3D will be a standout. Analogous features on the Analogue Pocket have already set a high standard worth noting.

The only aspect where the Analogue 3D might fall short is its lack of support for the Nintendo 64DD. However, truly devoted aficionados can look into acquiring additional support through options like the SummerCart64 flash cart. With all things considered, the Analogue 3D represents an ideal way to enjoy N64 games on modern screens, especially in light of ongoing developments in N64 gaming.

Mark your calendars: pre-orders for both the Analogue 3D and the accompanying 8BitDo 64 controller open on October 21st. The console itself will be priced at $249.99, with the controller coming in at $39.99.

Update 10/17/24: This article has been adjusted to correct earlier errors, which incorrectly referred to the Analogue 3D’s FPGA as “FGPA” and misstated the acronym’s meaning as “Field Programmable Grid Array” instead of the accurate “Field-Programmable Gate Array.”
