Analogue 3D has been praised as one of the best 4K N64 emulators ever made, and it will soon be available in a wide range of “fantastic” colors. As part of an extremely limited release, Analogue will offer the console with a transparent casing that emulates the look of the classic N64 consoles from the 2000s. Priced at $300 each, they will launch with matching 8BitDo controllers on December 10th at 8:00 AM PT/11:00 AM ET and will ship before Christmas.
Analogue says it spent over a year selecting the right colors for this release and collaborated with 8BitDo to replicate the look and feel of the Funtastic originals. There will be eight color options to choose from: Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clea, Smoke and a Gold model, inspired by the legendary Toys R Us N4 console, which is highly sought after by collectors. 8BitDo controllers will also be released in the same color set.

While Analogue 3D has received positive reviews since its first wave release, it will face stiff competition from the ModRetro M64 console. Priced at $200, the M64 also uses an FPGA (field programmable gate array) to faithfully replicate the performance of the N64, but it remains to be seen how accurate it is compared to the Analogue 3D.
ModRetro hasn't opened pre-orders for the M64 yet, but you can explore it—and its trident-shaped controller—from a variety of angles. through this gallery.
