Analogue Announces Limited ‘Funtastic’ Transparent Color 3D Consoles

Analogue's modern take on the N64 is now coming in a handful of gorgeous limited colors.

Analogue has revealed that the 3D — their fancy, modern reimagining of the Nintendo 64 — is now coming in a full spread of Funtastic colors. Yes, those glorious transparent plastic colors. You will be able to pre-order Jungle, Ice, Watermelon, Fire, Grape, Clear, Smoke, and a non-transparent Gold variant.

These limited-edition variants drop December 10th at 8:00 a.m. PST for $299.99, which is a respectable price for nostalgia-induced heart palpitations, and Analogue claims they’ll land on doorsteps by Christmas 2025 — assuming the holiday shipping gods smile upon us.

But wait, your wallet’s not done crying yet: 8BitDo is joining the chaos with matching limited-run controllers for $44.99 each. Yes, that means you can now coordinate your living room aesthetic around “Grape” without fear of clashing colorways. The catch? These are extremely limited, which means if you blink, a scalper will buy 40 of them and list them for the price of a used Honda Civic.

The funniest (or most gut-wrenching) part is the timing. Back in 2024, Analogue told everyone the Analogue 3D would come in Black or White and left it at that. Consumers dutifully pre-ordered those respectable, adult, IKEA-friendly colors… then waited over a year thanks to U.S. tariff delays. And now — now — those same customers are unboxing their long-awaited consoles a year later literally as Analogue drops the Funtastic announcement.

Social media is already a battlefield of people saying they feel “gypped,” “betrayed,” or “emotionally done with Analogue forever,” the latter of which is an obvious lie. These Funtastic 3D consoles are gorgeous. We want them all. And so do you. It’s hard to stay mad at Analogue when they deliver a console that reminds us why 90s technology was so f*cking awesome.

And honestly? We get it. On one hand, consumers have every right to be furious that Analogue basically pulled a surprise color swap like a retro hardware Beyoncé album drop. On the other hand, this is exactly the kind of chaos gremlin behavior Analogue is known for, and deep down, we all kind of expect it at this point. As for us? Sure, we’re a little salty we went with Black. But choosing between Jungle, Ice, and Grape would’ve been an existential crisis, so maybe this is for the best.
