10 Cool New Gadgets to Keep on Your Radar

Analogue officially released the 3D, its reimagined N64 console that works on today’s 4K televisions, in the fall of 2025. Then, a month later, in December, it released special-edition transparent colorways of the console. And now, the company is releasing another five new color variants that, it claims, were officially prototyped for the original Nintendo 64 but were never released. These “Prototype Editions” come in Atomic Purple, Extreme Green, Ocean, Glacier, and Ghost and are color-matched perfectly to those never-released models. Just like before, these will be available in extremely limited qualities and will definitely sell out in seconds. They go on sale from the company’s website on Monday, Feb 9, at 11am EST (or 8am PST).

This is a special-edition version of Astell&Kern’s flagship portable hi-fi player, the 2025-released SP4000. Instead of the standard stainless steel body, it is made out of 99.98% pure copper, giving it a new look and new sonic characteristics. According to the brand, the copper edition model “delivers deep, authoritative bass, a rich and articulate midrange, and treble that decays with natural ease, all presented as a seamless, emotionally engaging whole.” Aside from the finish, it has all the same internals and specs as its stainless steel siblings.

What’s more, as part of the bundle, each camera includes an exclusive Peak Design cuff wrist strap and a 32GB SD card.
