A ‘funtastic’ chassis can’t overcome a lackluster image
The ModRetro M64 does its job of playing your Nintendo 64 games and outputting them to modern 4K televisions. Blowing up a 240p image to a large 2160p display requires upscaling and filtering trickery, which the M64 doesn’t handle as well as it should. Casual N64 fans might want to stick with Nintendo Switch Online’s limited N64 library, whereas hardcore fans should opt for the competing Analogue 3D.
Pros
+Beautiful design
+Best trident-style N64 controller
+Overclocking capabilities
