The Analogue 3D crowd skews heavily nostalgic, and these controllers speak directly to people who spent their formative years with an atomic purple N64 controller in hand. Clear, Jungle Green, Watermelon Red, Smoke Black, Ice Cyan, Fire Orange, Gold, and Grape Purple. These aren\u2019t subtle nods to the past. They\u2019re full-throated love letters to an era when product designers believed technology should spark joy rather than dis<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ear into minimalist oblivion. The translucent shells let you peek at the circuit boards inside, which feels refreshingly honest in an age where everything\u2019s sealed up tighter than Fort Knox. There\u2019s something genuinely appealing about seeing the guts of your gear, even if modern miniaturization means there\u2019s less to actually see than there was in 1998.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-596167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/08\/the-8bitdo-64-controller-just-got-an-imac-g3-inspired-makeover-in-8-new-colors\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 8BitDo 64 controller just got an iMac G3 inspired makeover in 8 new colors\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-596167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/08\/the-8bitdo-64-controller-just-got-an-imac-g3-inspired-makeover-in-8-new-colors\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 8BitDo 64 controller just got an iMac G3 inspired makeover in 8 new colors\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_3.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>What strikes me is how this design language has aged. When Jonathan Ive and his team at Apple dropped the iMac G3 in Bondi Blue, it felt revolutionary because computing had spent decades looking like beige office equipment. Nintendo followed suit with their Funtastic series, and suddenly every product category had a translucent variant. Then it all died out around 2002, victim of its own ubiquity and the rising tide of aluminum unibody minimalism. But here we are in 2025, and these candy-colored shells feel fresh again. Maybe enough time has passed, or maybe we\u2019re all just exhausted by the relentless sameness of contemporary industrial design.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-596168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1074\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/08\/the-8bitdo-64-controller-just-got-an-imac-g3-inspired-makeover-in-8-new-colors\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 8BitDo 64 controller just got an iMac G3 inspired makeover in 8 new colors\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-596168\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1074\" height=\"1280\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2025\/12\/08\/the-8bitdo-64-controller-just-got-an-imac-g3-inspired-makeover-in-8-new-colors\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The 8BitDo 64 controller just got an iMac G3 inspired makeover in 8 new colors\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2025\/12\/596164\/8bitdo_64_controller_funtastic_4.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7222236028814181\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\" type=\"383a3db6134e56df368ac6cf-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- In-Content-Ads-2 --><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"383a3db6134e56df368ac6cf-text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The $44.99 price point sits five bucks above the standard black and white models, which retail for $39.99. That\u2019s a reasonable premium for limited edition colorways, especially given that 8BitDo isn\u2019t skimping on features. Full Bluetooth connectivity, wired USB support, compatibility across multiple platforms. The February 2026 ship date feels distant, but that\u2019s standard for limited runs where manufacturing slots are precious. What concerns me more is 8BitDo\u2019s emphasis on \u201chighly limited quantities.\u201d That phrasing usually means either genuine scarcity or artificial hype-building, and with gaming peripherals, it\u2019s often hard to tell which until pre-orders go live. Either way, if you want one of these translucent beauties sitting next to your Analogue 3D, setting a December 10 alarm is probably wise.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\">\n<div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SHARE\"><\/span>SHARE<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"sd-content\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-facebook\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-facebook-596164\" hidden>Click to share on <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Facebook<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-x\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-x-596164\" hidden>Click to share on X (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>X<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pinterest\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pinterest-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pinterest<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-reddit\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-reddit-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Reddit<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-linkedin\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-linkedin-596164\" hidden>Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>LinkedIn<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-tumblr\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-tumblr-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Tumblr<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-pocket\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-pocket-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Pocket<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-email\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-email-596164\" hidden>Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Email<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-print\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-print-596164\" hidden>Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Print<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharing-hidden\">\n<div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\"share-telegram\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-telegram-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Telegram<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-threads\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-threads-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Threads (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Threads<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-whatsapp-596164\" hidden>Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>WhatsApp<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-mastodon\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-mastodon-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Mastodon<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-bluesky\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-bluesky-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Bluesky<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-nextdoor\">\n\t\t\t\t<span id=\"sharing-nextdoor-596164\" hidden>Click to share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window)<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span>Nextdoor<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li class=\"share-end\"><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p>\n<div>\n                                                            <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"vcard author\"><br \/>\n                            <span>By<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                <span>Sarang Sheth<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                        <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
