"ModRetro, the gaming company that makes modern versions of retro consoles, has unveiled its take on the Nintendo 64. It's called the M64, and it has launched alongside ModRetro's spin on the classic console's trident or three-pronged controller. The M64 is a direct competitor to the Analogue 3D, which is also an ode to the N64 and can play its games. Analogue's version is already out for sale, though it's currently out of stock."
"ModRetro didn't say when you'll be able to purchase the M64 and how much it will cost, but you can sign up for the waitlist and get priority when it goes on sale. The consoles will come with translucent casing in three colors when it debuts: purple, green and white. ModRetro soft launched its first console, the Chromatic, in 2024. As you can probably guess, the Chromatic can play Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles, as well as proprietary cartridges."
"It came out months after its soft launch and will set you back at least $200. If you're not familiar with ModRetro before this, it was founded by Palmer Luckey who also founded Oculus and designed the Rift headset. In 2017, he co-founded Anduril Industries, a military tech company that builds drones, sensors and other technologies with billions in government contracts."
