The latest update from Analogue, the Analogue 3D, now supports Nintendo’s wireless N64 controller, as reported by The Verge. The Analogue 3D, known for its four controller ports that initially only accommodated the N64’s original wired gamepads, has expanded its capabilities to include wireless functionality. This allows players to enjoy a wireless N64 experience, which was previously only possible with the 8BitDo 64 controller.
Nintendo’s wireless N64 controller, introduced alongside N64 games on the Nintendo Switch Online platform, provides an authentic recreation of the original N64 hardware. Priced at $54.99, this controller offers a premium experience but is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. For those looking to upgrade their existing wired controllers, 8BitDo’s $39.99 Mod Kit remains a viable option.
The latest firmware update, version 1.2.0, not only introduces compatibility with the wireless N64 controller but also addresses issues like compatibility with 4K displays, audio clipping problems, and enhances the Library feature on the Analogue 3D. Players can now track their total playtime for each game in their collection, further enriching the gaming experience.
