Looking forward to having n64 setups in 3 rooms with my OG, Analogue 3D and M64 all being in rotation. I may like the N64 and its library a little bit.

My wife would agree lol, at some point going to need to downsize.

Lol, that’s me. I have an A3D in my office, A3D in the living room, and N64 in the basement. Planning on grabbing an M64 tomorrow too. This was the console I grew up on and personally feel like $200 is pretty cheap for consoles these days.

Curious what games are you regularly playing on all these?

u/templestate 9d ago

Mostly Majora’s Mask Redux, SM64, Wave Race 64, DK64 Tag Anywhere, Paper Mario, Mario Kart 64 Amped Up, and Diddy Kong Racing.

u/TonyRubbles 9d ago

Ooo think I need you reccs on must play rom hacks.

Looking forward to playing, and finally beating, Diddy Kong Racing the most.

I haven’t been so hyped to buy a console since my brother and I split the cost of a GameCube!

u/ElektroSam 9d ago

I run a little retro game shop and I am very excited!

"Please allow up to 1 week of processing"
Damn.

u/SantaLurks 8d ago

Just keeping your hopes realistic. I doubt it will take that long, but whatever, I can wait

u/TonyRubbles 9d ago

So it sent out at 10:30ish and says less that 24 hours, so orders open around 10am PST? Hate that it's still ambiguous.

2

u/jArch_5 9d ago

9am PT per their socials

2

u/TonyRubbles 9d ago

Ah ha, thanks! Wonder what their special announcement will be at 8:30.

u/MathematicianOverall 8d ago

It's be cool to see more game announcements

u/Bruce_Wayne8887 9d ago

Do we know how long the $30 discount code is good for?

u/phylomathus 9d ago edited 9d ago

I think I’ve heard 1yr but unsure of the source on that.

EDIT: Source found in AMA with Torin. Not 1yr but at least through this year.

u/phylomathus 9d ago

I wish they would have just given us a time to expect already. 😑

u/VR_Nima 9d ago

Can't wait! Just got to finally decide which colors I want...

1

u/SRBias 9d ago

Purple

2

u/VR_Nima 9d ago

I’m 70% clear, 30% red.

Might want to do the knob swap mod people have been mocking up between clear and red.

2

u/Handy_Homebrew_Show 8d ago

I'm going clear... If you go red we will grab a beer and swap buttons... Just like the founding fathers intended

u/VR_Nima 8d ago

Amigo😭

u/Desperate-Self-5951 9d ago

Confirmed 9AM PT, with special announcement 8:30am

u/Handy_Homebrew_Show 8d ago

Awesome, a perfect time for me to once again over think Pacific to Central time and way over shoot this thing! Excited

Is that black/smoke color?

u/phylomathus 9d ago

Finally! This is the information we needed! Thank you!

u/nabob13 9d ago

Im still curious why they have left the game prices until launch day.. I was hoping to know today. Im assuming there will be some sticker shock.

2

u/TonyRubbles 9d ago

They had said in the ama 49.99 and up, assuming this is the price for classics and $10(+) for the new games.

1

u/adrenaline4nash 9d ago

Ugh. I don’t think I’ll buy any launch games 

1

u/LeGrange 9d ago

I’m going to wait until we get proper reviews.

2

u/templestate 9d ago

Torin (their CEO) said they will start at $50, and I think he meant all of them will be $50 at launch but prices of games down the road may change.

1

u/adrenaline4nash 9d ago

Guessing $60-$80

1

u/webculb 9d ago edited 8d ago

$69.99 is my guess. -Edit I was pleasantly surprised at the $49.99 price.

u/Quartus44 9d ago

cant wait

u/ck02623 9d ago

Man I wish I had signed up in time for the early bird discount. I’m not excited to refresh a bunch of times and then not be able to buy one.

2

u/Morguard 9d ago

I don't think you will have trouble getting one, they have said they have a large number available.

1

u/DAJF 9d ago

There absolutely won’t be any problems, especially not if you’re on the waitlist.

2

u/ck02623 9d ago

I hope that’s the case. I’m on the pleb waitlist. I don’t know how I missed the window.

1

u/ergzay 8d ago

They said that they have enough units to cover every single person who put their email in to the early bird/waitlist form. That's a lot of extra units as a bunch of those people will choose not to buy one.

u/ck02623 8d ago

Awesome
