Analogue 3D Gets Funtastic Limited Edition in Classic N64 Colours

Analogue has just announced a major treat for Nintendo 64 fans: a Funtastic Limited Edition of its upcoming Analogue 3D console. The company revealed eight new colourways, each meticulously matching the iconic translucent shells of the original N64 Funtastic series. The consoles will be available in highly limited quantities from the Analogue Store on December 10th at 8am PST. You can see the full, vibrant announcement on the official Funtastic Edition page.

This move taps directly into the powerful nostalgia for the late-90s aesthetic, where seeing the guts of your tech was all the rage. The available colours are Jungle Green, Fire Orange, Ice Blue, Grape Purple, Smoke Black, Watermelon Red, and the ultra-rare Extreme Green and Atomic Purple. It's a direct callback to a beloved era of console design, and Analogue isn't skimping on the details.

📊 Quick Specs- Colours: 8 Funtastic translucent options- Price: Base model $249.99 (LE price TBA)- Availability: Dec 10, 8am PST, highly limited- Included: Colour-matched cables, SD card, power supply- Tech: Built-in Expansion Pak, 4K HDMI, FPGA-based

More Than Just a Pretty Shell

Beyond the stunning looks, each Funtastic Limited Edition unit is a complete package. It comes with a full suite of colour-matched accessories, including the SD card, HDMI cable, USB cable, and power supply. Technically, it's the same powerhouse as the standard Analogue 3D: a region-free FPGA console that plays original cartridges (no emulation), outputs at up to 4K with authentic CRT display modes, and has both the Expansion Pak and Memory Pak built right in. The matching 8BitDo 64 controller, however, remains a separate purchase at $44.99.

The announcement has predictably sent waves of excitement and anxiety through communities like r/SBCGaming. The promise of 'highly limited quantities' paired with Analogue's historically challenging checkout process means securing one of these will be a battle. It highlights the ongoing demand for premium, authentic retro hardware experiences, a niche Analogue continues to dominate. For those who do snag one, the visual upgrade will be significant, as we've seen how N64 games like GoldenEye 007 can look incredible at forced HD on the Analogue 3D.

While this is a premium, cartridge-based solution, the news stands in contrast to the more accessible world of software emulation and ports, such as the recent unofficial *Star Fox 64* Dreamcast port. Analogue's offering is for the purist and the collector-those who want the original hardware experience, amplified, and wrapped in a perfect slice of 1999. Whether you're aiming for Jungle Green or Grape Purple, mark your calendar and prepare your F5 key. This drop will be over in a flash.
