Analogue’s 4K remake of the N64 is almost ready, and it’s a big deal

The Analogue 3D will be the first system in the world to perfectly emulate the N64 .

Pre-orders start on October 21 at $ 250 .

The company has been selling recreations of retro consoles for over a decade , starting with high-end takes on Neo-Geo and NES .

Analogue is, in many ways, the Apple of the retro gaming hardware space.

The Analogue 3D supports 4 K output, variable refresh rate displays, and PAL and NTSC carts.

Analogue says it's building out “Original Display Modes” to emulate the CRT TVs and PVMs of old.

While ODMs go some way to replicating the feel of an old TV, they can’t change the underlying technical differences.

The Analogue 3D has a similar shape to the N64 , but the front pillars have been erased, the four controller ports match the housing and the power/reset buttons are slanted inwards to point toward the cartridge slot.

A new operating system from Analogue , 3DOS , will debut with the system.

The console comes with a power supply (with a US plug), USB cable , an HDMI cable and a 16 GB SD card.
