Analogue are well known in the space for dropping limited editions of their products, but this time things are a little different. Rather than just releasing new colour variants to tease us with after we've bought the black and white versions of their gear, they've gone one step further and actually closed a chapter in the history books by bringing unreleased N64 colours to the world.
For the past year, Analogue have been meticulously colour-matching five, never-before-released colour variants of the N64 that were made in the prototyping stages of the console's development. We know that the colours existed because of our good friend over at Console Variations, Donny, who invited us over to film the biggest Nintendo collection in Europe, but these colours never saw mass production, until now.
The new colours available as part of Analogue's new range are Extreme Green, Ocean, Ghost, Glacier, and everyone's favourite, Atomic Purple. Personally, Ocean is my favourite, and twined with the matching 8BitDo controller, it looks like the ultimate crystal shell N64 that I wanted back when I was a kid.
These new limited edition colours will sell incredibly quickly. They're priced at $299.99, which is just $30 more than the original Analogue Pocket RRP. The matching 8BitDo controllers are priced at $5 more. Again, I would have loved all of these colours to have been available at launch, but that's a battle I'm never going to win.
These limited edition 3Ds go on sale on February 9th 2026 at 8am PST. That's 4pm if you're reading in the UK or 2am on February 10th if you're reading from Australia! Head to the Analogue website for more details!
