Analogue 3D Funtastic Editions

Let’s be real: Analogue didn’t just drop new N64 colors—they dropped FOMO in a box.

Just weeks after launching their sleek, FPGA-powered Analogue 3D, they’ve unveiled eight “Funtastic” translucent color variants—$299 each, because apparently nostalgia comes with a premium. And yes, the website is screaming “HIGHLY LIMITED QUANTITIES” like it’s Black Friday and you’re late to the party. Chris Taber isn’t hiding his tactics—he’s waving a neon sign made of nostalgia and scarcity.

But here’s the twist: Why so soon? Most companies wait a year to drop special editions. This feels less like a celebration and more like damage control—maybe they realized people were waiting for the “fun” versions instead of buying now. Or worse: they’ve had these in inventory since last year and just needed an excuse to unload them.

Angry buyers? Totally fair. If you pre-ordered and thought you were getting the “pure” version, only to see rainbow N64s drop days later? Yeah, that stings. Did they know this was coming and just… not tell you? Either way, the real win is that the Analogue 3D actually works—and if you want one, now’s your chance. Just maybe don’t buy two hoping to flip the extra on eBay… unless you’re okay with being part of the very system you’re mad at.
