ModRetro Unveils M64, a $199 FPGA Nintendo 64 Remake With Wireless Three‑Prong Controller

ModRetro set an introductory $199 price, with the release date and full feature list still unannounced.

Overview

  • The reveal shows a cartridge slot, four front ports for original N64 controllers, rear HDMI, three USB‑C ports, and a microSD slot.
  • Translucent purple, green, and white casing options were shown with matching controllers.
  • Images display an AMD ATRIX FPGA at the core of the system, though full specifications remain undisclosed.
  • The new gamepad closely mirrors the classic three‑pronged design, adds wireless connectivity and USB‑C charging, and supports legacy wired pads via the front ports.
  • ModRetro opened a waitlist as the M64 targets the same niche as Analogue’s 3D, which is on sale but currently out of stock.
