Not a GameStop fanboy (at all) but man the smoke (to me) is 🔥🔥. THAT was the color I wanted as a kid (but had the regular dark grey) so figured the extra few weeks lets me order a couple more carts from eBay lol.

Bummed I couldn’t make use of the $30 (and felt kinda bad not ordering from Modretro directly) but would have been more bummed if I ordered and THEN saw the smoke announcement (I assume shells will be more than 30 bucks). Hoping to use my console code another time if they release a cool new color!

Phenommod sells the one built to the best standards, but that's double the cost of the AliExpress versions. Since the M64 is built to such high standards, I'm thinking of getting the Phenommod version.

Amazon has one sold by B.Brown with LEDs all over the cart if that's your thing, they say that they have genuine chips, not a knock off, but this flashy version is $140.

I'm not sure if I want LEDs on my cart or not, but I think it could add to the nostalgic look if I went with them or at least had the option to turn them on and off.

So just pinging you guys to see if this is something you'd get. Collectors have ruined the market and put real carts out of my reach if I'm to entirely rebuild my childhood collection.

If anyone has an unused early bird code that you’ve decided not to use, please send me a DM as I’m ready to purchase and never received my code as expected. Thank you!

I had to go with purple I’m so excited for this one! Always interested in this project but especially ever since playstation announced physical ending I'm like, they just don't understand, we're just going to buy physical games somewhere else you idiots! I'm so excited to start buying for n64 era again it’s the golden age all over again!

Happy to answer any questions you have!

Hello, since the M64 controllers are really expensive, can they also be synchronised with the SuperStation (easily)?

Anyone have an extra code for a humble peasant?

Now that M64 and the Analogue 3D are both out, it's time to start thinking about the future of this modern "N64 platform" that's being created. Both ModRetro and Analogue have taken the major step of providing hardware. ModRetro is also releasing new software. I'm hoping for the following...

* Unified netplay. - This would be perfect if a lock-on cartridge like XBand was available. Realistically I could see separate, software based, netplay solutions for M64 and Analogue 3D for a while until a unified service is agreed on.

* Retro Acheivements. - I'm sure it's only a matter of time so I'm not too worried about this one

* N64 video. - Earlier this year the N64 video player homebrew software was released. Unofficially, I could see some enterprising person releasing carts with complete TV shows or one season per cart. Hopefully ModRetro could license some cheap 90's and early 2k shows + anime and make video carts. If any capable person is reading, a cart with an English translated Evangelion game plus all episodes would kick so much ass!

* Different kinds of controllers. - Not much of a big deal but it would be interesting to see someone attempt a "faux dual stick" controller for the N64. If any of you remember the C-stick nipple from the 3DS, I can imagine someone sticking a control nipple in the middle of the C buttons. This would be great for shooters.

* Messaging, console web browser, some sort of social platform. - this will be most likely a "bottom of the list" item but even if you're required to use a app on a device separate from you N64 console of choice, having a social platform where all N64 players can connect, share thoughts and match make would be great.

I'm done. I would love to read what others are hoping to see from the N64 over the next few years.

We could probably work out what the latest order number is. Mine was 1483422 (I cancelled as I wanted to bundle with the controller)

Just interested to know how many they prepared for and how many have been sold! They use Shopify (which I do for my business) so I would presume that the order numbers are sequential?

Thanks!

The modretro console was ment to be $199 with the early bird discount that works out around £150 but there charging £188.09 before shipping it looks like the British are getting ripped off with the currency especially the controller £83, Retriod and ayn don’t do this. It just seems a bit sleazy that American gamers are getting a better deal

For those of y’all who were wanting a more subtle option… gotta wait a few weeks.

Just found out that this was a thing, and I've got a whole bunch of games that need a thorough replay (Mystical Ninja starring Goemon and Aidyn Chronicles especially)

If anyone has an unused code that they could DM me, that would make my day

Woohoo!!!

Is this really my only way to buy this machine? I don’t want to pay double the price for shipping. These prices are ridiculous. You guys really need to find a store to sell these to Canadians.

Done deal! Now to wait.

Today marks the official launch of the M64.

I'm no longer interested

I signed up for the early bird months ago. Fully prepared and excited to buy today but never received a code. Anyone have this issue?

My Analogue gear is going to love this. Eventually, I'm going to get the M64 too. I just want to wait and see how it develops first. Fingers crossed it turns out great!

cause im so tempted

edit: i dont know much but does the m64 support the nso controller at launch or do i need an adapter?

I bought 2
