The Analogue 3D can use a classic or redesigned Nintendo 64 controller, the only emulation is for classic CRT TV effects.

After first teasing the console a year ago, the Analogue 4K N64 system is just about ready to open for pre-orders.

Instead, the Analogue3D supports Bluetooth controllers and allows input remapping through the custom OS. More specifically, Analogue points to retro specialist 8BitDo's own upcoming 64 Controller as its suggested controller for the Analogue3D—and in doing so, vindicates my lifelong disdain for the actual N64 controller.
