Analogue is an American company that makes consoles via hardware emulation rather than typical software emulation. So you're able to play your physical collection natively. 

In this case, Analogue 3D is for the Nintendo 64. Plays games at 4K resolution, compatible with every N64 game ever made, region free, and they've partnered with 8bitdo for a modern wireless controller, but with the same button layout. But they still include original controller ports if you want to hook up your og N64 controllers. They have a custom OS for it as well called 3DOS, but we have yet to see what kind of features it offers.

They're also known for the Analogue Pocket, basically a Game Boy that plays GB, GBC, and GBA games natively. Which they also sell adapters for other handheld systems like the Sega Game Gear.

Oh cool, thanks for the info. I get the game gear and that but why not just use the Switchs N64 games...

Because there's only 35 N64 games on Switch and the Analogue 3D plays all 388 games that ever released on N64. But most importantly, this device is primarily meant to play your physical collection. So this is for those that want to play from their cartridges. 

It's a very niche product, but it's the best way to play N64 games in a modern way. Whereas on Switch, Nintendo is trying to emulate the original experience.
