Probably expect an Analogue announcement this week? - Lemmy.World

Hey everyone, As you may know, Analogue has traditionally always had annual mid October announcements. Mostly following along with this reddit post [https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/174th4t/what_has_analogue_announced_on_1610_historically/], their timeline has been: - October 16th, 2023: Analogue 3D announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1713933239327273452] - October 16th, 2022: Pocket preorders, Pocket cartridge adapters, and final run of the Super Nt and Mega Sg announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1581661660728950784] - October 16th, 2021: Analogue OS announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1449389698493861888] - October 16th, 2020: Duo announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1317118116678094860] - October 16th, 2019: Pocket announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1184484202772926466] - October 16th, 2018: Mega Sg announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/1052212620705509376] - October 16th, 2017: Super Nt announced [https://twitter.com/analogue/status/919941034934546432] I’m hoping to see some more news/information about the Analogue 3D, along with Pocket DAC support… 🥴 (This was also posted on r/analogueinc [https://www.reddit.com/r/AnalogueInc/comments/1g3dpud/analogues_october_16th_history/].)

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!
