The highly anticipated Analogue 3D console is making a comeback for pre-orders, but there's a twist! The price is set to skyrocket to $270, leaving gamers with mixed feelings.
Analogue's cutting-edge N64 clone, powered by FPGA technology, will be available for pre-order once again on November 24th. However, the excitement is tempered by the news that the price has increased significantly due to the infamous tariffs imposed by President Trump.
Here's the deal: the company took to social media to announce that the new batch will be up for grabs at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET, but with a price tag of $269.99, a notable jump from the previous $249.99. This increase is a direct result of the tariffs on imported goods, which Analogue has been forced to absorb.
But there's a silver lining—shipping starts on December 2nd, and Analogue has assured customers that existing pre-orders will be prioritized. So, while there might be a delay in shipping new orders, you may still receive your console before the holidays.
And this is where it gets interesting: our recent review gave the Analogue 3D a stellar 9/10 rating, making the wait worthwhile. But with the price hike, will it still be a must-buy for gaming enthusiasts?
