The Nintendo 64 stands out as a timeless gaming console that still commands affection and respect from players. Despite its original hardware being nearly three decades old, fresh software and hardware releases have consistently emerged over time. Now, the creators behind the Game Boy Chromatic, ModRetro, seem to be hinting at a brand-new N64 console called M64.
This is your final opportunity. Beyond this point, there’s no going back.
You can choose the blue pill – the tale concludes, you awaken in your bed and can continue to believe as you wish. Alternatively, you can take the red pill, remain in this fantastical land, and I’ll reveal the true depth of the rabbit hole.

On March 18, 2025, Palmer Luckey posted a mysterious message on social media, featuring an image of two pills – one red and one blue – each adorned with a unique M64 logo design. This intriguing post included a quote from the Matrix, hinting at a choice between the two designs. The implication seems clear: Palmer Luckey’s company is developing a new product reminiscent of the Nintendo 64, similar to the ModRetro Chromatic, and the choice between the logos may represent different versions or features of this upcoming device.
According to Phil Hayton from GamesRadar, it’s expected that this will be an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) system, with a metal casing and open-source software. Typically, enthusiasts of vintage hardware must connect a variety of cables and adapters to make older consoles work decently on contemporary TVs. The goal for the ModRetro Nintendo 64 is to provide HDMI compatibility, sparing users from needing external adapters.
The M64 is poised to become another notable player in the realm of Nintendo 64 hardware. Announced in October 2023, the Analogue 3D boasts several impressive features such as 4K resolution, compatibility with all N64 games (region-free), Bluetooth LE, dualband WiFi, and a design that eschews emulation in favor of FPGA engineering. However, there has been a slight delay in shipping, which is now expected to occur by July 2025.
Enthusiasts of the Nintendo 64 are currently in a state of anticipation, eagerly waiting for details about the features of the upcoming M64 console. Stay tuned to Shacknews for updates on all things retro gaming.
