Analogue 3D Launch Delayed Again: New Shipping Date Revealed for FPGA-Based N64 Clone

Analogue 3D Launch Delayed Again: New Shipping Date Revealed for FPGA-Based N64 Clone Analogue, renowned for its high-end retro gaming hardware, has announced another delay to the highly anticipated Analogue 3D console—their FPGA-powered reinterpretation of the legendary Nintendo 64.

The latest statement from Analogue confirms that the Analogue 3D, originally scheduled for launch this month, will now commence shipping in late August 2025.

This revision follows the application of new tariffs that forced the company to re-evaluate its logistics and shipping schedule. Background: Analogue and the FPGA Console Revolution Analogue has established itself as a leader in premium retro gaming systems, developing FPGA-based hardware such as the Analogue Pocket and the Super Nt.

The Analogue 3D continues this tradition by emulating the Nintendo 64 with nearly cycle-accurate reproduction on modern hardware, addressing the enduring demand for high-quality retro gaming experiences on contemporary displays.

Pre-orders for the Analogue 3D opened in October 2024, with an initial shipping target for Q1 2025.

However, multiple revisits to the launch date have frustrated eager backers and industry watchers alike. Official Statement and Customer Assurance In a recent update posted on social media, Analogue addressed the latest delay: “In response to sudden changes in tariffs last week, Analogue 3D shipments will begin next month.

We are absorbing these added costs, so your preorder price will remain unchanged.

Customers will not incur any extra charges.” The statement continued, emphasizing the imminent reveal: “The wait will end in late August, and reviews will go live.

We have invested significant effort and care into the Analogue 3D and are eager for you to experience it firsthand.” Despite these assurances, customers have cited inconsistent communication.

As reported by Retro Dodo, a customer received an email from Analogue just yesterday stating their console would ship this month, contradicting the public announcement.

This has drawn criticism for a lack of transparency throughout the process. Additionally, concerns have grown over the absence of gameplay footage or hands-on previews of the Analogue 3D, particularly given the device’s apparent readiness.

Analogue encourages anyone wishing to cancel their pre-order to do so at any time, reiterating their 100% refund policy—"as always, if you’d like to cancel your pre-order at any time, Analogue has a no-questions-asked, 100% refund policy for pre-orders." Additional Analogue Updates Alongside the Analogue 3D news, the company announced the restock of the Analogue Pocket White and the release of firmware updates—including PocketOS v2.5 for the Pocket and DuoOS v1.5 for the Duo pro console.

Both updates are available now, adding new features and enhanced performance to Analogue’s growing suite of retro hardware. Analogue 3D remains one of the most anticipated hardware releases among retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors, aiming to faithfully recreate the Nintendo 64 experience for a new generation.

While delays persist, the company’s ongoing support, open refund policy, and continued product updates demonstrate its commitment to transparency and quality.

We will continue to provide verified updates as the late August shipping milestone approaches.
