Analogue 3D is finally getting restocked… but there’s a catch. ? In this episode we break down the November 24th preorder return of Analogue’s 4K, FPGA-powered Nintendo 64-style console, why the price just jumped from $249.99 to $269.99, and what tariffs have to do with it. Is it still worth the premium for original-cart, zero-emulation gameplay, or are you tapping out this round? ? We’re also checking in on Retro Games and PLAION’s The Spectrum Collector’s Edition — a gorgeous all-white tribute to the legendary ZX Spectrum, complete with matching QuickShot-style joystick, thermal printer, and other throwback goodies celebrating 8-bit home computing in style. ???? Then we flip over to the BrickBoy Arcade Edition, a wild LEGO-powered upgrade that turns the LEGO Game Boy build into a tiny arcade cabinet with HDMI output, boosted performance, and local multiplayer. Yep, a mini LEGO cab on your desk playing real games and lighting up like an ‘80s arcade. ???

? Atari is bringing RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition to physical form for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, letting park-building fans finally put this classic sim back on their shelves. We’ll talk about what’s on the disc/cart, why collectors are excited, and whether it’s worth grabbing if you already own the digital version. ?? Over in handheld land, Evercade is lining up a massive drop with five new cartridges hitting in a single month, the biggest wave the platform has seen since launch. We’ll dig into why this release schedule matters, how it grows Evercade’s already stacked library, and what it means for physical-only collectors. ? And because 2025 refuses to stop being weird (in a good way), we’re also getting a brand-new 8-bit GameTank console built around real cartridges and dedicated hardware instead of emulation. If you love chunky pixels, CRTs, and truly old-school design, this thing is absolutely on your radar. If you’re into Atari, Evercade, new retro hardware, and the joy of owning games physically, this episode is for you. Hit play, hang out with us, and stick around for… yep… more retro news! ?
