ModRetro says M64 is doing “incredibly well” as families play together

ModRetro released the M64, its Nintendo 64 console, about a month and a half ago. A company representative said it is doing “incredibly well,” without specifying a measure. Much of the feedback, the representative said, came from older people introducing the console to their children; the representative added that he was 15 when the original Nintendo 64 came out.

The representative said the console’s physical constraints can encourage parents to sit and play Mario Kart with their children. He contrasted that shared experience with a child alone on an iPad playing Roblox, describing the M64 experience as social and companionable.
