ModRetro's M64 is an FPGA-based Nintendo 64 revival console that plays original N64 cartridges over HDMI without emulation. Using AMD's Artix UltraScale+ FPGA, it supports 720p, 1080p, and 4K output with display profiles including CRT and Scan Lines for authentic visuals. Most games run well, though some titles like GoldenEye 007 show slowdown — an overclocking update is planned to address compatibility. The translucent design echoes the original N64 aesthetic, and an optional $89 wireless Pro Controller is available. Missing features like built-in memory card support and flashcart compatibility are expected before the July 28th ship date. Priced at $239 (early-bird $200), it competes with the Analogue 3D ($270). ModRetro is also releasing new N64 games including Xeno Crisis and Buck Bumble. Best suited for nostalgic players who still own N64 cartridges.
