HI guys. I forgot the link for the S-video cables and Retrotink. I'll leave 2 links for you to check it out but, the Retrotink I believe is not available anymore. You have other options like the retrotink 4k, but it is very expensive. This is a European Website but maybe you can find a US supplier like stoneagegamer.com/ or just buy the Analogue 3D =P videogameperfection.com/products/pal-n64-svideo/ videogameperfection.com/2020/02/22/exciting-products-retrotink/ store.analogue.co/
Loved the video! I've preordered an Analogue 3D to reminisce my old N64 collection. Cannot wait to play Conker's bad fur day :). To me that was peak silly storytelling and peak N64 3D graphics. I remember playing that game and it would actually make the original N64 CPU stutter!! I wonder how that will go in this console. Super excited to give it a shot. My original N64 no longer boots up :(, I think there's something wrong inside it, but I also am not that kind of engineer to figure out whats wrong with the circuits
Thank you so much! Conker is the GOAT. I love it. This console is an FPGA recreation of the original hardware so, if Analogue did a good job with the core implementation, with a board that has 220k LE, this thing will be 100% exactly like the original N64 but in 4K and with no blurry image.
The Analogue 3D is a great starting point for N64 ownership. If you have an N64 already and every accessory and an upscaler already or a nice quality CRT then you don't need one but if you're starting at 0 or are willing to sell your original hardware to upgrade to the Analogue 3D, why not?
For whoever does not have a retroscaler, it is absolutely worth it, in my opinion. I have the OG N64 with a composite to HDMI conector with Mike Chi's retrothink built in and it's great, but I do love a modern N64 console to play and backup my carts collection.
I don't need it. I found a TV. Low resolution is somehow high resolution on a CRT TV. I'm using Mesen emulator since it's the most accurate emulation possible. I'm using a HDMI to RF modulator with custom channels. Converting HDMI to old ass analog signal RF. This is by far the best experience. I don't get the need of upscaling these old games. Especially on originally hardware. It's just easier grabbing a PC and a 4k TV. I will be upset when my CRT TV breaks. I've been waiting forever to get one and lucky enough I found one on the street. Waited "years". Also if you use Mesen emulator on a old TV. Make sure you use aspect ratio 8:7 For whatever reason this aspect ratio fits the NES and SNES perfectly.
Try to get the Nintendo made S-Video cable (if im not mistaken it came out in Japan only), it's the best of the S Video cables I've had, plugged it to your scaler, and the magic is completed.
@@SuperLifeCore yes, this is a good option, I'll be missing out if they do come up with some adapters to play other systems, like they did with the Sega Genesis one.
If youre starting from nothing, the Analogue makes a lot of sense. If you *hate* the original n64 controller, it makes even more sense. That said, as someone with a retrotink already, it's easy to still be on the fence.
even if you love the original controller like I do but just want an N64 system in HD is makes sense. as the DIY HD mod kits cost even more than the price of the Analogue 3D (usually 300-400 usd). and if you can't install it yourself you can tack on another 100 dollars onto that price to get someone to do it for you.
Man, I hated the N64, period! Went to a Sears before C-mas the year it came out to preview it and left very unimpressed! But, I liked and owned the PS1, DC, PS2, and GC..
Why not come out with a Handheld that plays the cartridge? With the ability to hook up to a TV. I rather have that than a console when I already have a N64 to play my games.
Some people like myself who never got to play an N64 as a kid prefer the authenticity of having an original console. That way they get a better appreciation of what folks back in the day experienced.
@@BLOODY__FATALITY Pretty much every video I’ve seen the handheld is a custom built from a N64 motherboard using a 3D printed or cut to fit custom shell with batteries crammed in and wires running everywhere. I want something purpose built to a high quality instead of some random guy who knows how to use a soldering iron making it for fun and to sell on eBay.
I preordered one without hesitation and i know it will be so worth it. Can't wait to play WORLD DRIVER CHAMPIONSHIP on it, a very underrated under appreciated game, IMO the best racing game on N64!!!
@@SuperLifeCore I think you'll like it. It's like Grand Turismo and cruisin' USA put together. The performance of each car i feel match the way they control. The rock music is energetic and seems to accommodate / fit the game perfectly.
I probably would have thought about getting one if it had OpenFPGA, but as soon as they confirmed it won't have it it was a no from me. The Pocket is so great because it's not *just* a game boy device. They could have made that but for your TV, but instead they're going the dedicated single console box route for $$$$ when really they could have just made controller port universal adapters or something. Plus I already have an N64 with most of the library (and I play on composite, which I'm sure will horrify everyone, but let's be real, these games don't look that great anyway and never did). So really I don't see the point personally. Maybe eventually I will just get a mister instead as that seems more what I'm after. Don't get me wrong, a dedicated box is cool, but like even the pocket doesn't have 100% compatibility without some finagling (like the solar games that need extenders, and some more examples I could name) so it doesn't really sell itself to me necessarily as a "do it all and replace your original n64" device. Honestly at this point I'd be way more excited about an OG GBA-shaped pocket than I would any device they're likely to announce in the future. Really I think the original GBA shape is about the perfect handheld shape, it was somewhat of a shame the pocket was the old vertical style, but given how crammed its PCB is, maybe it was a necessity.
By what you're saying, I do believe the mister is a much better choice for you. I would check Koala Koa mister console, he grouped everything you'll ever need on a box that looks like a console. It's a great choice for those who want the mister with that feeling of a normal console. www.koalakoa.com/kornerstore
Pre-ordered 2 for my brother and me. I got the OG Pikachu N64 back in 1999 and to hook it up to any modern display you gotta have to mod the original hardware like crazy to get any decent results. Upscalers like the framemeister are way out of reach for me to be honest and there's a single solution for less the cost of an upscaler and hdmi mod combined. Hard to beat a 250€ pricetag. As you mentioned, good condition UNMODIFIED N64s go for around 200 bucks.
Well, the Retrotink 4k costs 700 bucks, It's a multisystem device. That said, the N64 only outputs in Svideo, so the signal will never be as pure as the Analogue 3D even with a retrotink 4k. You can check out this link from VideoGameEsoterica (th-cam.com/video/H70Ceo3U4n0/w-d-xo.html), he has a modded N64 with HDMI connected to a retrotink 4k, and he captured footage. Check it out if you are curious. Cheers!
@@cencil6497 I don't think so. The Analogue for sure will work it's magic. Is there any point in the Analogue Nes, SNES, Mega Drive, turbografix 16, Game Boy? It's working hardware. For the lazy ones - or let's say less skilled ones, this makes total sense.
@@SuperLifeCore the n64 can output Component video in RGB (YPbPr) with a simple RGB mod solder job, and then go into the retrotink via component instead of the S-video. Night and Day difference :).
That would be amazing since it has double the Logic Elements of the Mister. This is a beast of a FPGA machine. But i don't think Analogue will do that because they have to protect their business.
4K's biggest advantage in this situation IMO and I think Analogue's CEO said this, is the *ability to create 4K CRT filters* . In my experience, the Analogue Pocket's CRT filters looks great on a modern tv, and made me want to play it that way. I'm not a fan of no CRT filter, it's just not how I remember playing, and it just doesn't look as good in my opinion. So whether it upscales or not, doesn't really matter to me. I don't think the 4k emulation vs 4k upscaling would make much of a difference for N64 based on the 1st gen 3d graphics. But again, that's not what makes this so enticing, it's the 4k CRT filters! I'm hoping they nail it, they sure use that kind of language in the marketing. I had a CRT during Covid when I got back into retro, and the thing just hurt my eyes and took too much space.
my question is how do we port over the games we have on our current expansion pack on the onto the analogue system because i have certain games in not in the mood to start all over again
I will assume that if you have your original memory card and the original controller, you can plug it to the Analogue 3D and just copy the save file into the memory of the machine or SD card and keep all your save files there that are on the cartridge or memory card.
Expansion Pak doesn’t save games, it’s for graphics enhancements. The vast majority of popular N64 games save on the cartridge, and the rest save on a Controller Pak, which is the memory card that plugs into the controller. If you don’t have a Controller Pak, all your saves are on the cartridges.
@ u know what. i was thinking about that cause i played 🅿️erfect DARK for over 20 years where i have certain ranks playing multiplayer and i don't wanna be starting all over and i remember these games get save as u said on the cartridge 👍🏾 hope u were able to get 1️⃣ of these
I think I'll stick with my Pikachu edition. I got a Hori Mini Pad as my main controller. Small, sure, but it gets the job done. AND it can handle the original Mario Party.
I always wanted one of those Hori Mini Pads, but they are a bit expensive these days. Pikachu edition is awesome, it's one console I'm looking for to find one day for a good price.
@@SuperLifeCore Now the Pikachu edition, THAT'S how you do a special edition. It actually makes an attempt to stand out. I COULD go with the gold or funtastic ones, but they're just stock standard repaints, some being more expensive than the other.
I am not a fan of the modified controller. I would prefer a real N64 controller or knock-off. Even when trying old emulators with homebrew games, the current controller, Switch, PS5 and Xbox, aren't set up the same and those N64 games are all designed to take advantage of the way you can hold an N64 controller. Like using the Bow and Arrows in Ocarina of Time for instance. Or the control scheme for Turok 64. They really require an N64 controller. I would hope someone would make a new one that is USB, wireless, chargeable and maybe even make a plug in for the Nintendo 64 console itself that would allow you to use it on the N64 just the same. Built in battery with charge port. And although I am not a fan of it, RGB puke on clear models for fun. The one on display in this video is really close to what I typed but it's got a few flaws including not using the original shape.
I also love the original N64 controller for N64 games, and it's great that you can use original controllers with the Analogue 3D. I will assume that the N64 controller available for Nintendo online users will work with this, but it's very expensive and restrictive to buy, so ill just use an original wired one.
You can get the wired retro fighter controller, got the light green transparent one, it's beautiful, and you don't have to look at that ugly bucket like thing on your N64.
I got one of those too. it's the earlier V2 build right? with the thinner cord and the controller is light weight. I have the green one and the smoke one two.They came out with a 3rd version build later thats wired which they only have in grey and black now. I have those two and I noticed the cords are much more durable and the controllers themselves have more weight to them. Anyway, I only ever like to play n64 with cord controllers, that's just me. I have 4 hori pad minis and about 30 original funtastic controllers. I don't think I'll have room for any wireless controllers and I certainly am not getting rid of an original controller. I don't like having to make sure they are charged, especially before taking my n64 out to a friends house or gathering. plug'n play is my way.
@@0xEdwoods And everdrive x7 is 150$. That's all about 250. I'm not criticizing your choice. I use an upscaler very similar to the rad2x but come from s signal, the EON super 64. its a knockoff of the retrotink devices but it plug n play just like the rad2x. So I'm right there with you. Honestly, that's just fine. I was on the fence too. But I think the analogue is going to look better and it has CRT filters which I like and it's a newer system. Just very cool to have. But yea bro, I can appreciate keeping it OG. I'm sure I'll still play my original, especially on CRT.
At first I thought it was worth it when I assumed it was rendering 4K internally with all their advertising, but then I realized after researching more it's simply 240p *upscaled* to 4K - which will still look like an absolute blurry mess regardless. Not worth it to me despite having all my original N64 games still unfortunately.
The analogue 3D will look better than an original N64 with the retrotink 4k because the Av port on the N64 only outputs in Svideo, so the signal is already degraded. With the Analogue 3D, The upscaling happens directly from the original signal, so its 10x the original resolution with no signal degradation. Also, Analogue is saying that they have CRT filters like no other company to have a true CRT experience on a 4k TV. I guess we have to wait and see.
Actually that's not correct. The resolution will be 4k as 3D can be set for any resolution. No up-scaling is done what so ever. So the jaggy edge lines (aliasing) will be smaller. Now textures can be up-scaled but there's no info on whether or not Analogue 3D does that. Most likely there will options to turn off the blur texture feature that N64 has, so the image should look really good on an HDTV.
@@PoseMotion I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. These games are old ROMs, whether on a SD card or on the cartridge, the resolution is already defined in the ROM, the game is done so, the machine has to do some upscale of the original resolution in order to achieve higher resolutions than what's programmed on the ROM right? It's not an image stretch, it's an upscale, extra pixels are added to create a bigger image but no assets are changed whatsoever. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
@@SuperLifeCorehow emulation works would be the change of internal resolution, yes the games are determined by resolution but even fpga tech overwrites these resolution limitations. It’s why the analogue pocket looks so crisp
@@PoseMotion It will look the same or close to an N64 with HDMI on a retrotink 4K which in my experience is still blurry and bad looking on modern displays. Internal resolution at 4K is the only way N64 will look good on 4K TV's similar to what emulation does. Imo the textures aren't an issue as they look fine when internal res is 4K on Project 64 for example.
This is a cash grab on nostalgic people...again. if you already own a n64 ( easy to get and cheap with a everdrive ) you don't need this. Maybe 50 years from now when N64 hardwares will get way too expensive..YES... But now NO! Put your money into your game collection on real old cartridges. That were your money is supposed to go.
Well, I believe that this will get jailbroken, so for 250 you get a 4k HDMI N64 that can run all games from a SD card better than the original n64. But I also love original hardware, in fact if i could only have 1 i absolutely would choose an original N64.
Theres more than ten good games WCW vs NWO World Tour WCW vs NWO Revenge WWF No Mercy Rampage 1 and 2 Turok 1,2 and 3 Banjo Kazooie and Tooie Bomberman 64 Road Rash 64 Mystical Ninja Gohman Kirby 64 Super Mario 64 Star Fox 64 Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask Mario Kart 64 Hydro Thunder Wave Race 64 Resident Evil 2 Paper Mario 64 Rayman 2 Gauntlet Legend's Hexen Doom 64 The list goes on, people are trippin if they think there's only ten good games on the N64.
On Switch N64 games run on software emulation, that's why it looks better because they can put the 3D assets in native 4k. It's like the Raspberry pie I show here, the image is much better (but not has accurate) than original hardware even with scalers.

You can get the wired retro fighter controller, got the light green transparent one, it's beautiful, and you don't have to look at that ugly bucket like thing on your N64.
That's a great option, maybe ill try it out. Thanks
I got one of those too. it's the earlier V2 build right? with the thinner cord and the controller is light weight. I have the green one and the smoke one two.They came out with a 3rd version build later thats wired which they only have in grey and black now. I have those two and I noticed the cords are much more durable and the controllers themselves have more weight to them. Anyway, I only ever like to play n64 with cord controllers, that's just me. I have 4 hori pad minis and about 30 original funtastic controllers. I don't think I'll have room for any wireless controllers and I certainly am not getting rid of an original controller. I don't like having to make sure they are charged, especially before taking my n64 out to a friends house or gathering. plug'n play is my way.
Just get an N64 with Everdrive and a RAD2X
That's going to cost the same 250 or more, I believe… But It's nice to have options.
@@SuperLifeCoreN64 is like $50 and rad2x is $49
@@0xEdwoods And everdrive x7 is 150$. That's all about 250. I'm not criticizing your choice. I use an upscaler very similar to the rad2x but come from s signal, the EON super 64. its a knockoff of the retrotink devices but it plug n play just like the rad2x. So I'm right there with you. Honestly, that's just fine. I was on the fence too. But I think the analogue is going to look better and it has CRT filters which I like and it's a newer system. Just very cool to have. But yea bro, I can appreciate keeping it OG. I'm sure I'll still play my original, especially on CRT.
I’m starting from nothing soooo….yes for me.
If you love N64 I'm sure you'll like this console.
At first I thought it was worth it when I assumed it was rendering 4K internally with all their advertising, but then I realized after researching more it's simply 240p *upscaled* to 4K - which will still look like an absolute blurry mess regardless. Not worth it to me despite having all my original N64 games still unfortunately.
The analogue 3D will look better than an original N64 with the retrotink 4k because the Av port on the N64 only outputs in Svideo, so the signal is already degraded. With the Analogue 3D, The upscaling happens directly from the original signal, so its 10x the original resolution with no signal degradation. Also, Analogue is saying that they have CRT filters like no other company to have a true CRT experience on a 4k TV. I guess we have to wait and see.
Actually that's not correct. The resolution will be 4k as 3D can be set for any resolution. No up-scaling is done what so ever. So the jaggy edge lines (aliasing) will be smaller. Now textures can be up-scaled but there's no info on whether or not Analogue 3D does that. Most likely there will options to turn off the blur texture feature that N64 has, so the image should look really good on an HDTV.
@@PoseMotion I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. These games are old ROMs, whether on a SD card or on the cartridge, the resolution is already defined in the ROM, the game is done so, the machine has to do some upscale of the original resolution in order to achieve higher resolutions than what's programmed on the ROM right? It's not an image stretch, it's an upscale, extra pixels are added to create a bigger image but no assets are changed whatsoever. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
@@SuperLifeCorehow emulation works would be the change of internal resolution, yes the games are determined by resolution but even fpga tech overwrites these resolution limitations. It’s why the analogue pocket looks so crisp
@@PoseMotion It will look the same or close to an N64 with HDMI on a retrotink 4K which in my experience is still blurry and bad looking on modern displays. Internal resolution at 4K is the only way N64 will look good on 4K TV's similar to what emulation does. Imo the textures aren't an issue as they look fine when internal res is 4K on Project 64 for example.
This is a cash grab on nostalgic people...again. if you already own a n64 ( easy to get and cheap with a everdrive ) you don't need this. Maybe 50 years from now when N64 hardwares will get way too expensive..YES... But now NO! Put your money into your game collection on real old cartridges. That were your money is supposed to go.
Well, I believe that this will get jailbroken, so for 250 you get a 4k HDMI N64 that can run all games from a SD card better than the original n64. But I also love original hardware, in fact if i could only have 1 i absolutely would choose an original N64.
its not worth it.. Theres only like 10 good games......
true...but will still get it...for my collection of analogue products:P
Maybe only 10 good games but they are the best games of all time
Theres more than ten good games
WCW vs NWO World Tour
WCW vs NWO Revenge
WWF No Mercy
Rampage 1 and 2
Turok 1,2 and 3
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie
Bomberman 64
Road Rash 64
Mystical Ninja Gohman

Doom 64
The list goes on, people are trippin if they think there's only ten good games on the N64.
I can tell u right now without watching. No.
15:30 Huh. If it looks like this on original hardware, I guess for the Switch version they improved the graphics some.
On Switch N64 games run on software emulation, that's why it looks better because they can put the 3D assets in native 4k. It's like the Raspberry pie I show here, the image is much better (but not has accurate) than original hardware even with scalers.
@@SuperLifeCore Interesting stuff. Can't wait to see what the upgraded Switch is capable of.
