""Analogue has been moving at maximum pace, processing shipping to everyone who has been patiently waiting," the company wrote in a statement. "Unexpected, uncommon issues are rare. Especially in a negligible degree under esoteric circumstances. We're ensuring every detail meets our standard." The statement added that the launch is "at 99% percent. Hardware, system, packaging - the full kit - been set for months. The last one percent is where we're focused.""
""Things just keep going wrong for Analogue's take on the Nintendo 64. The announcement comes a little over a month after the console's previous delay, which would've seen it ship at the end of August. While the July announcement cited the ongoing mess around tariffs as the reason for that delay, the cause for the current delay is less clear.""
""The Analogue 3D was first announced in 2023 with plans to launch the following year, and was delayed multiple times since then. The 3D - which promises to render N64 games in 4K and boasts 100 percent compatibility with the console's library - is the latest project from the company, which has previously made high-end versions of the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boy.""
Analogue postponed shipping of the Analogue 3D until sometime in Q4 after a recent delay that had targeted the end of August. Hardware, system, and packaging are reported as finalized, with remaining work focused on final details. Earlier delays involved tariffs and supply-chain complications, while the current cause is described as unexpected and unclear. The Q4 timing is intentionally conservative and full refunds are available to pre-order customers. The Analogue 3D aims to render N64 games in 4K and to provide full compatibility, following Analogue's prior high-end retro console releases.
