Probably expect an Analogue announcement this week?
Hey everyone,
As you may know, Analogue has traditionally always had annual mid October announcements. Mostly following along with this reddit post, their timeline has been:
- October 16th, 2023: Analogue 3D announced
- October 16th, 2022: Pocket preorders, Pocket cartridge adapters, and final run of the Super Nt and Mega Sg announced
- October 16th, 2021: Analogue OS announced
- October 16th, 2020: Duo announced
- October 16th, 2019: Pocket announced
- October 16th, 2018: Mega Sg announced
- October 16th, 2017: Super Nt announced
I'm hoping to see some more news/information about the Analogue 3D, along with Pocket DAC support... 🥴

I'm looking forward to more information on the Analogue 3D. But I don't trust 8bitDo to do the joysticks justice. It's also going to be like a quadrillion hundred dollars plus shipping and import taxes. So it'll be a really hard decision 😅
I've never used 8bitDo products before, but have ordered an Ultimate Controller from them (on sale). Are their products not reliable?
I have 3 8bitDo controllers and they're great. I even prefer them over the Switch Pro Controller. The Pro 2 is awesome, and my SN30 has so much use on it, I had to get replacement rubbers (for free, from 8bitdo) for the sticks since I wore them out!
However, the Nintendo 64 stick is very particular. I bought their N64 Mod Kit and joystick, and the joystick is ok. It's not great though. For games where the joystick precision is important, you can notice a big difference. And if I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a "premiun N64", I'd expect a better reproduction of the N64 stick than what they did with the Mod Kit. We haven't heard anything new since the first teaser, I have some hope. But the N64 controller stick is so particular... We'll see!
