Analogue 3D Nintendo 64 Remake Delayed Again Due to Tariffs; Shipment Now Expected in Late August

Okay, here we go. So, Analogue—the folks who do those nifty retro console remakes—updated their FAQ about their Nintendo 64 reboot. The juicy bit? Their Analogue 3D, which they once called Analogue 64, is facing yet another delay. Yeah, again. This time they say it’s gonna ship in “late August.” Apparently, some unexpected tariff changes threw a wrench in the works. Tuesday’s social media post spilled the beans on that.

And if you’ve been waiting with bated breath, maybe this whole tariff excuse freaks you out. But hey, Analogue promises no extra charges. They’ll eat the extra costs. Which is nice, I guess.

Oh, but let’s talk delays. It’s become a running gag at this point. You could cancel and get your money back if you really wanted to—they’re cool with that—but with $250 tied up and possible price hikes when it hits the market, who’s really gonna bail?

To put it lightly, this whole saga began in 2023. Initial whispers led to 2024 promises, with a 2025 delivery that got pushed to March. Now, we’re looking at August. Macro what now? Turbulence? Sure, let’s go with that.

Alright, let me dive into the details a bit. This console is all about bringing back those N64 vibes, with compatibility for all those cartridges you’ve probably got in a dingy shoebox somewhere. Boasting stylish looks with 4K HDMI output. Fancy that. Original display modes and CRT vibes. It’s almost poetic.

Oh, and modern bells and whistles? It’s got wireless stuff. Original-style controller ports too, for the purists.

And lest you forget—’cause I almost did—they’re not faking it with software emulation. Nope. They’ve got some FPGA magic happening on a transistor level. Whatever that means.

But a heads-up: it’s all about the cartridges. No ROM file party here, folks. Legacy all the way. Though, with those backup systems, who knows what adventures await?

Analogue’s got this shiny rep in the retro game world. You might remember the ‘Pocket’ for Game Boy fans. They’ve done MegaDrive, Genesis, and SNES stuff too.

So, while you’re out there in internet land, maybe look up Tom’s Hardware for the scoop and more good stuff. Or don’t. No pressure.
