The ModRetro M64 is a Nintendo 64 FPGA console that has been in the works for many, many months. We had a review unit way back in February and have only just released our written review and video comparison with the Analogue 3D. To cut to the chase, it's a remarkable way to play and preserve your Nintendo 64 games in a modern and accurate way.
I have fallen in love with it, and it's clear ModRetro has worked their butts off to make this the best way to play Nintendo 64 games, alongside creating a modernised, wireless, and metal version of the N64 controller known as the M64 Trident Controller.
Well, today comes good news, and Palmer Luckey has announced that the M64 is available to buy and shipping starts today too, depending on whether they're not overwhelmed with orders, that is!
The ModRetro M64 console is available from ModRetro's official website starting at $229 and comes in a choice of four different colours.
The ModRetro M64 wireless Trident Controller is available from ModRetro's official website starting at $89.99 and also comes in a choice of four different colours, pairing with the consoles.
There's a wide range of updates coming to the M64 console over the coming months and years, so it's worth reading our review to see what it comes with, but we're excited to see this out in the open and thankful for the fact that this ships instantly; there's nothing worse than waiting faffing around with pre-orders. Shipping begins today, but could take a couple of weeks to process them all if they're overwhelmed, so grab it now while you can!
