"Palmer Luckey is a gamer at heart - and he's been cooking up something new. The Oculus cofounder first made his mark on gaming by changing the VR landscape. Then he began releasing new gaming designs and modern versions of retro consoles. Luckey is back with another design soon to hit the market: a take on the Nintendo 64. The ModRetro M64 will be fully revealed on Black Friday, Luckey wrote in an X post with a teaser video."
"The ModRetro M64 hardware is getting a full reveal on Black Friday - features, colors, our incredible new controller, cutting-edge @AMD hardware, etc.Much has changed since we launched early bird pricing at $199 earlier this year, things like inflation, component shortages, tariffs, and more," he wrote. "These changes haven't changed the price, Luckey wrote in a piece of "great news." "ModRetro can keep the price at $199 not just for early signups, but for Black Friday and beyond," he wrote. "Get ready to see what a couple Benjamins can still buy you." The ModRetro M64 will feature some of the Nintendo 64's classic graphics, 4K graphics powered by AMD, and additional gaming titles coming soon, according to the teaser video."
ModRetro M64 is a Nintendo 64–inspired console scheduled for a full reveal on Black Friday. The device maintains a $199 price despite inflation, component shortages, tariffs, and manufacturing concerns. The console promises classic Nintendo 64-style graphics alongside AMD-powered 4K visuals, a new controller, and additional, previously unseen game titles. The ModRetro lineup previously included the Chromatic portable console that runs Game Boy cartridges and sold out after its 2024 release. Early-bird pricing launched earlier in the year and the hardware encountered tariff and manufacturing challenges during development.
