Analogue has released a firmware update for its Analogue 3D console that adds a save state feature called Memories, giving players the ability to save their progress at any point in a game and resume from that exact spot later.
The update arrived in May 2026. Memories was previously introduced on Analogue’s handheld device, the Analogue Pocket, before making its way to the Analogue 3D.
Unlike traditional save systems that require players to reach a designated checkpoint or save point within a game, Memories allows saving at any moment during play. This could offer a more flexible experience for players who may not have time to reach an in-game save point before stopping.
The addition may also help address a practical limitation of the Analogue 3D: the console’s Virtual Controller Pak option — its built-in alternative to the original N64 memory card accessory — is still unavailable when using original or wired N64 controllers. With Memories now available, players using those controllers have an alternative way to preserve their game progress.
