"Following the launch of the Chromatic Game Boy last December, ModRetro revealed its next console will be an upgraded remake of the Nintendo 64. Like the recently released Analogue 3D, it will play N64 games in 4K through the use of an FPGA. ModRetro - the company founded by the controversial figure Palmer Luckey who's also behind a defense contractor that makes military tech - has been teasing details about the console on social media over the past few months,"
"The new images of the M64 show the console with a translucent housing in green, purple, and white color options, as well as three color-matched controllers. The Analogue 3D is also compatible with the Nintendo 64's original gamepads, but the company worked with 8BitDo to create a modernized version with a similar button layout and thumbstick design. ModRetro has instead gone for authenticity. The M64's controllers look nearly identical to the original with a three pronged design featuring the thumbstick"
ModRetro's M64 is an upgraded remake of the Nintendo 64 that runs N64 games in 4K using an FPGA. The console echoes the original N64's shape with a gently curved top panel, top-mounted cartridge slot, and four front controller ports. The top panel includes a power button and a dial labeled "Menu." The rear houses an HDMI port, three USB-C ports, and a microSD slot. The system will ship with translucent green, purple, and white housings and matching controllers. The M64 controller replicates the N64's three-pronged layout with the thumbstick on the middle grip and a trigger underneath. Launch pricing is set at $199 for waitlist subscribers.
