Where can you pre-order the 8BitDo 64 controller for analog 3D?

Ahead of the launch of its new analog 3D console, 8BitDo has announced a new Bluetooth controller for use with the modernized version of the Nintendo 64. The 8BitDo 64 controller doesn’t launch until March 19, but you can currently get your $1.99 controller 39.99 from Amazon.

The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth controller has a similar footprint to more modern controllers, but the face buttons and other inputs are intended to directly mirror those of the original N64 controller with its unique analog stick. While the new controller is clearly designed with the intention of being used with N64 titles, the 64 controller is compatible with Windows, Switch and Android devices and is fully remappable using 8BitDo’s Ultimate software suite.

If you’re looking for a console to use with your new controller, good news! Analogue has turned its attention to Nintendo’s original 3D console for its latest project in modernizing retro consoles. The Analogue 3D will ship early next year and is currently available for pre-order directly from the Analog storefront for $249.99 – just $50 more than the N64’s original launch price, not counting inflation – with a limit of two units per customer.

Like the previous Analogue hardware, the Analogue 3D is packed with quality of life improvements. In addition to being compatible with every title produced for the N64, Analogue 3D can connect natively to modern TVs via HDMI for 4K playback and can even be used with any first-party N64 controllers you have. The 3D also comes equipped with internal storage for saving gameplay clips and save states, in addition to an intuitive user interface for navigating the various settings on your console.
