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

Alright, here we go. Hang tight!

So, you know, Analogue, that company that loves bringing back our beloved retro consoles? Yeah, they’ve got this magic thing they’re calling the Analogue 3D, which, if you ask me, sounds kinda like a funky sci-fi project. Guess what? It’s supposed to give our old Nintendo 64s a facelift. Only, surprise! It’s not out yet. Delayed for the umpteenth time. Why? Tariffs. Those pesky things. I read that somewhere. Who figures this stuff out anyway?

So, the latest is that you might see it in “late August.” If stars align or if pandas decide to dance in the rain. They tweeted (because that’s what companies do) that they’re soaking up the extra costs. So, hey, at least your wallet won’t cry more than it already has.

If you’ve been sitting on a pre-order since forever, this might be that “again?!” moment. It’s like, this console was first whispered about in 2023 and we thought, “Oh cool, coming soon.” But here we are, eyes rolling and fingers tapping. But Analogue keeps saying you can cancel any time and wave goodbye to dreams of crisp, 4K-enhanced nostalgia.

Here’s the kicker—this thing’s gonna handle original game cartridges from everywhere. USA, EU, JP—it’s like the console world’s version of a world peace summit. Plus, HDMI output that does 4K because we all want our pixelated past to shine ultra-bright on mega screens now. Oh, and in case you’re into that specific nerdy bit, it’s got something called FPGA tech (don’t ask me to explain), so it’s not messing with software emulation. Just some mind-bending transistor voodoo, probably?

Staring at the four original controller ports, I remembered the good old days with my sibling, fighting over Mario Kart rights. Anyway, even if you’re deep into your secret collection of N64 cartridges, they promise it’s legit—no funny ROM business here. And the Analogue folks have been at this retro revival game a while; they’ve got devices for other classics like MegaDrive and SNES. It’s almost like they have a time machine stashed somewhere.

Remember, if you’re obsessed with all things Tom’s Hardware, hit up Google News and keep those feeds pumping.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to replay some old classics… whenever Analogue decides to ship these out. Who’s with me?
