With the Analogue 3D finally in people’s hands, it really was only a matter of time before Analogue announced colorful variants of its new clone console. Revealed on its official website with an expected sale date of December 10th, 2025, the “Funtastic” limited editions of the Analogue 3D mimic the awesome colors Nintendo gave the N64 later on in its life. I fondly remember having the Ice version, which I got as a second N64 since I was a spoiled kid.
Going for $299.99, the funtastic version will be available in eight colors, with seven of those sporting the same see-through aesthetic of Nintendo’s colorful N64s. The final color is gold, which looks legendary and would be fantastic with the gold cartridge of Ocarina of Time or Majora’s Mask in it. As you would expect, everything is in limited quantities, so if you want a colorful Analogue 3D, make sure to pre-order it.
Alongside the consoles will be matching 8bitdo controllers, available for $44.99 each. Sporting the same colors, these are said to be in “highly limited” quantities, though are available to buy now. Most reports on the controller have not be super positive, but 8bitdo is known for supporting its gamepads well past sale date. Some firmware updates might fix the deadzone issues the joysticks reportedly have.
After a long wait, the Analogue 3D finally released last month to a relatively positive reception from retro gaming enthusiasts. Providing the classic N64 experience with modern display output and even a fantastic overclock option, the device is the latest in a long line of incredible clone consoles from Analogue. If you love Nintendo’s 64-bit era, this is the device for you.
