Way back in the year 2000, Nintendo launched a series of "Funtastic" colors for the N64, with bright, translucent neons in shades of Jungle Green, Ice Blue, Grape Purple, Fire Orange, Watermelon Red, and Smoke Black. However, there were a few other colorways that were prototyped, but never made it to market.
Analogue has revived those colors and are launching them as limited edition variants of the Analogue 3D. The five colors are Extreme Green, Atomic Purple, Ocean, Ghost, and Glacier – several of which could be found on other Nintendo hardware over the years, such as limited edition controllers and Game Boy variants. Analogue says that it spent more than a year color matching these to the original prototype colors that were never released.
The limited edition colors of the Analogue 3D will go on sale in "highly limited quantities" on February 9th at 8am PT for $299.99, and will begin shipping the following day. Alongside this, 8BitDo is also launching a limited edition run of the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller in matching colors. The controller will go on sale at the same time as the console, for $44.99, and will be shipping in April.
