Overview

• ModRetro revealed the M64, an FPGA-based Nintendo 64 tribute console, on July 24 with a planned Christmas launch.
• The M64 is priced at $199.99 to match the 1997 Nintendo 64’s launch cost, accompanied by the slogan “Inflation isn't nostalgic.”
• The system promises hardware-level N64 replication with original cartridge and controller support to ensure authentic gameplay.
• ModRetro has yet to disclose detailed hardware specifications or confirm modern features such as upscaling or network connectivity.
• It undercuts the $250 Analogue 3D console, which is now delayed to late August due to supply chain and tariff challenges.
