Analogue's Long-Awaited 4K Remake of the N64 Finally Hits November 18 Ship Date
After multiple delays, fans of the Nintendo 64 can finally rejoice as Analogue has announced that its highly anticipated 4K remake of the classic console will be shipping on November 18. The $250 system, which was initially set to ship in the last quarter of 2025, is now available for pre-order, but customers who haven't secured a unit yet will have to wait longer as both the black and white variants are currently out of stock.
The Analogue Pocket's 4K remake uses an FPGA (field programmable gate array) chip to emulate Nintendo's original hardware, a technology that promises more accurate results than software-based emulation options. The system is also designed to offer lower input lag, making it ideal for gamers seeking a smooth and authentic experience on modern TVs.
Analogue has consistently maintained its promise of releasing the 3D in the last quarter of 2025, despite multiple delays earlier this year. Fans can rest assured that the system will support every N64 cartridge, including both PAL and NTSC variants, without any inaccuracies or slowdowns.
The Analogue 3D's specs are impressive, delivering a 4K output and supporting variable refresh rate. Users will be able to access original display mode filters to replicate the look of playing on an old CRT or PVM. This approach is expected to make the 3D the best option for playing N64 games on modern TVs using original cartridges.
The console features four ports for plugging in original N64 controllers, a USB-C power port, two USB ports for accessories, and an HDMI port. Additionally, the Analogue 3D includes a Wi-Fi chip that can be used for operating system updates. While there have been concerns about users potentially jailbreaking the system to boot ROMs from the SD card slot, this is highly unlikely according to the manufacturer.
With the November 18 ship date looming closer, fans of the N64 are eagerly anticipating the chance to experience their favorite classic games in a new and improved way on modern hardware.
