Relive your Nintendo 64 'Funtastic' era

If you missed out on pre-orders or the launch-week restock of the Analogue 3D, the high-end Nintendo 64 FPGA-powered clone, you have another shot at getting one. And slow and steady may ultimately win the race here, because Analogue is releasing its Analogue 3D in eight new "Funtastic" colors that harken back to when consumer electronics were released in bright colors like Jungle Green, Ice Blue, and Fire Orange.

The Analogue 3D will be back in stock on Tuesday, Dec. 10, now in colors that aren't black and white. Those new color options include Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clear, Smoke, and Gold — the same colors that the original N64 was released in in early 2000. Accessory maker 8BitDo is also releasing a version of its 64 Controller in matching colors, should you want an all-gold four-player setup, or a rainbow of fruit flavors.

8BitDo 64 controllers in eight "Funtastic" colors ranging from orange to blue to gold.

The one catch here is that the Funtastic release of the Analogue 3D will carry a higher price point. This batch of consoles will be sold for $299.99, $30 more than the standard version (and $50 more than the Analogue 3D cost during pre-orders).

Analogue's restock of the 3D console goes live on Tuesday at 8 a.m. PST/11 a.m. EST/4 p.m. GMT at the console maker's online store. The Funtastic colorways of the Analogue 3D are expected to ship before Christmas. Additionally, the original versions of the Analogue 3D will also be restocked, the company says, with orders planned to ship in January 2026.
