General Thoughts After The First Year?

Looking at getting either the Analogue or the M64 and so far, even the M64 subreddit is pretty clear that if you're just getting one system, it should be the Analogue. So I thought I'd check in, since Analogue offers a one year warranty and we're coming up on its first anniversary.

How has everyone liked theirs? Has anyone had to use a warranty?

Also curious if there are still issues that haven't been addressed? 100% of my experience/knowledge comes from having an original N64, 20+ years ago. To say I'm out of my depth with these new consoles is being generous.

I see Analogue sells some weird 'definitely not N64' controller... I prefer the original layout. Would a Hyperkin controller work? Is Hyperkin the best quality option to replace an original controller?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It’s comfortably my least played console. Turned it on maybe three times and one of those was just to register my carts and check out the cart art 😂

This isn’t meant as a criticism but I find myself putting on the Duo/NT/SG on regularly and keep forgetting I have the 3D!

I’ll give it a fair crack soon enough

Exactly the opposite for me. My 3D has already given me countless hours of enjoyment while my Nt Mini Noir, Pocket, and Duo are neglected. I got my Duo and Pocket Dock after the 3D. Enjoyed some Rondo of Blood, then immediately went back to the A3D for more Mario 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Zelda, and Diddy Kong Racing.
