"Behind the Nintendo Switch 2, the $250 Analogue 3D has become my favorite console I've played with all year. It plays venerable Nintendo 64 games that came out close to 30 years ago. Yes, you still need to clean out every cartridge before you can get it working. And still, I've had more fun with this console than I have on most novel, high-end hardware that costs two to four times as much."
"The Analogue 3D is a FPGA retro recreation of the Nintendo 64 that will play all your old games and make them run better than before. The endless search for purity for retro gamers has led us to strange places. After all, the undiluted way to enjoy an old console is just to buy an old CRT TV, snag a retro console and some games to match."
The $250 Analogue 3D is a compact FPGA recreation of the Nintendo 64 that plays original cartridges and improves their performance. Players must clean cartridges before use, but the console delivers a highly enjoyable experience that outstrips most new high-end hardware costing two to four times more. The unit's minimal design does precisely what is needed while retaining strong panache and a permanent place on the TV stand. FPGA hardware reproduces the N64's behavior more faithfully than software emulation, avoiding common problems such as glitchy textures and irregular frame rates. Some modern cartridge-playing consoles use open-source emulators and higher resolutions but fail to recapture the authentic retro aesthetic.
