Analogue 3D Review: The Purest Nintendo 64 Experience You Can Have on a 4K TV
There are plenty of ways to play Nintendo 64 games in 2025. The Analogue 3D is made for purists.
www.cnet.com
The Analogue 3D is the definitive way to play your old Nintendo 64 library. It accomplishes what all other methods can't: giving perfect 4K output of your games. But at $250, it's a niche device, especially when casual gamers can play N64 via Switch.

I'm legitimately surprised Nintendo is doing this. It has to be a cost-savings measure. I also doubt Pokopia is a massive Call of Duty 400GB game.
People are upset that they might not fully own the next Pokemon game.
