Anduril founder promises to show off ModRetro M64 game console on Black Friday

ModRetro M64 will be based on AMD chips, support 4K, classic Nintendo 64 projects, as well as additional games that are due to be released soon.

"The ModRetro M64 will be fully revealed on Black Friday - features, colors, our incredible new controller, cutting-edge hardware from AMD, and more," Palmer Luckeyreported on X (Twitter).

According to him, a lot has changed since the beginning of the year, when the price of $199 was announced for the first buyers — "inflation, component shortages, customs duties, etc." However, the developers managed to keep the price not only for Black Friday, but also for future buyers.

The M64 is known to use an FPGA (field-programmable gate array) chip that mimics the logic of the original Nintendo 64 chip. It was the first Nintendo console capable of displaying 3D graphics, and was released back in 1996.

The Anduril co-founder is an avid video game collector. When the world's largest video game collection was put up for auction in 2014, Palmer Luckey placed an early bid but later withdrew.
