The #Analogue 3D is a real holy-shit gadget. The CRT simulation, the 4K HDR (via hybrid-log gamma!), the smoothness of motion. Here’s it making a scene with a 28-year old _Rogue Squadron_ cart (with proper letterboxing for the cutscene; it goes back to 4:3 for gameplay). #RetroGaming #RetroGames #VideoGaming #VideoGaming #Nintendo #Nintendo64

The 8BitDo controller is such an improvement on the original that you’d think it was always like that #RetroGaming #RetroGames #VideoGaming #VideoGaming #Nintendo #Nintendo64

Personally, I think the #Nintendo 64 was a failure and most of its games aren’t worth revisiting because they were either vastly improved later on (e.g., the #3DS remakes of the #Zelda games) or just bad. But a few devs—Factor 5, Treasure, Quest, Rare, and Konami—really knew how to find its secret chord.

The Nintendo 64 was a symbol of the stagnation that followed—still thinking big, but diminished and without the same practical facility.
