Analogue continues its innovative journey in retro gaming hardware with the unveiling of five limited-edition Analogue 3D consoles, drawing inspiration from unreleased Nintendo 64 color prototypes.
Known for their high-fidelity recreations of vintage gaming hardware, Analogue has developed a reputation for attention to detail, and this latest release further cements its status in the retro gaming community. This special run follows closely on the heels of the popular 'Funtastic' range, offering fans and collectors an opportunity to own a piece of Nintendo history with models that pay homage to rare, officially prototyped Nintendo 64 colors that never made it to market.
According to Analogue, the company embarked on an exhaustive process to accurately capture the original prototype hues.
In a recent company statement, Analogue shared, “After extensive research, we identified five color variants that were manufactured as prototypes for the original Nintendo 64, yet were never commercially released.
These colorways are authentic to the originals, and we dedicated over a year to finely matching the colors.
Our work ensures each console is identical to those rare, official prototypes, now brought to market for the first time.” The five collector’s edition colors include Extreme Green, Atomic Purple, Ocean, Ghost, and Glacier.
Each Analogue 3D system in this lineup is available for $299.99 and features meticulous color reproduction to replicate the look and feel of the elusive N64 prototypes.
To complement the consoles, Analogue has partnered with 8BitDo to offer matching 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth controllers, which retail for $44.99 each.
These controllers are designed specifically for compatibility with the Analogue 3D and are styled to perfectly match each unique console colorway. Release details are specific and straightforward: the limited edition Analogue 3D consoles become available for purchase on February 9th at 8:00 AM PST via Analogue’s official website, with shipping scheduled to begin February 10th.
The coordinating 8BitDo controllers will be shipped in April, ensuring collectors will soon be able to complete this premium hardware set. Analogue’s latest venture not only bridges decades of Nintendo console heritage but also caters to a growing demand among retro enthusiasts for unique, historically significant hardware.
With the launch of these limited editions, Analogue reaffirms its commitment to preserving gaming history through thoughtful design, manufacturing accuracy, and a focus on collector value. For those interested in owning a piece of unlaunched Nintendo 64 legacy, the limited-edition Analogue 3D offers a rare opportunity to experience a console that, until now, existed only as a prototype.
As with previous Analogue releases, high demand is anticipated, so early orders are recommended.
