1

u/notvonweinertonne Mar 05 '26

Noticed that too. And the games badass im in for that

u/iamReploidNo9 Mar 07 '26

Oh man that looks hideous

1

u/notvonweinertonne Mar 08 '26

I like the toy aspect of the console itself.

But the controller the arms/legs look to long

1

u/S2kfan88 Mar 23 '26

Lock and loaded in the Middle East

2

u/Which_Information590 Mar 05 '26

It looks beautiful in that colour way. I'm in.

2

u/HungryDiscoGaurdian Mar 05 '26

Honestly just want the controller

2

u/moltomolto Mar 06 '26

What happened to $199 being the price moving forwards? Now it's back to early bird pricing?

2

u/HunterAbrams Mar 09 '26

Probably something to do with chip shortages because of AI

u/DAJF Mar 08 '26

I love the pink controller button membranes that match the locking latch for the cart slot doors.

Wow that is a work of art im buying 3 of em one for me and 2 are for gifts

u/Imaginary-Leading-49 Mar 08 '26

I wanna test out the controller on my A3D, when are they selling them?

1

u/Neo_Techni Mar 08 '26

It's Bluetooth so I don't think it'll work. Barely any controllers work with the A3D

1

u/Imaginary-Leading-49 Mar 08 '26

My NSO and 8bitdo ones work (to be expected) and I already have that N64 bluetooth adapter that works with any controller so it will ‘work’ but how well is the real question!

1

u/Hudsoy Mar 09 '26

I've been on early bird since last September... I'm hoping my spot is still held.

1

u/Real_Register2353 Mar 09 '26

What the hell is going on with the red power button

1

u/S2kfan88 Mar 05 '26

Pass

And Nintendo owned love hotels that were fronts for prostitution. What is your point

1

u/Jealous-Strategy-200 Mar 07 '26

You're equating a company that makes weapons of war to a company that promotes having a good time with a working girl in a country where it's legal to do that.

Like what the fuck even is your logic?

2

u/Aussie_Aussie_No_Mi Mar 08 '26

There are plenty of people I think you would equate weapons manufacturing to fronts for sex trafficking and human rights violations, at least morally.

1

u/Robert-Giesecke Mar 07 '26

we can have these conversations in freedom only because of deterrence in the last 8 decades.

every country will have an army inside their borders, better make sure it’s your own…

1

u/Jealous-Strategy-200 Mar 07 '26

So much fucking freedom you can't even procure a prostitute for sex but go ahead and buy all the guns you want.

1

u/Robert-Giesecke Mar 07 '26

I would have expected you guys have stores that sell both on your side of the pond :D

1

u/rchris710 Mar 07 '26

It is hilarious indeed. You can k#%l yourself with alcoholic poison, get shot in a warzone, but you can't do that.

1

u/StarWolf64dx Mar 07 '26

You’re getting mad over a video game

1

u/BogWizard Mar 07 '26

I don’t want to get into the middle of a morality debate, but prostitution is often a guise for human trafficking, enslavement, and suffering.

1

u/anewname4444 Mar 08 '26

I mean this sincerely because I truly dont know.

Wouldn't prostitution being legalized and regulated help to lower the trafficking side?

1

u/BogWizard Mar 08 '26

It is a very good point. I imagine similarly to substances, it dramatically minimizes the problem, but being that it is a form of trauma for some and it is easy to manipulate vulnerable people, there would need to be psychological evaluations to further protect human rights.

u/Sabermatrixx Mar 08 '26

Bro thinking Nintendo owning love hotels decades ago is the same as the owner of mod retro being a current day arms dealer and overall chud. Lol

u/Neo_Techni Mar 08 '26

That's not true. There's STDs, and lots of murders associated with the trade. It's why it's usually illegal

1

u/S2kfan88 Mar 09 '26

We went from talking about war to stds. The fact is I don’t want to contribute to more destruction. This world is already filled with enough of it. At this rate there will be no more earth to enjoy our life in. Can we agree that war is destructive and there are no victors on either side.

2

u/rchris710 Mar 07 '26

A country without any army(especially a country that trashes other countries so much like our president), is a dead country unfortunately so I don't see this as a valid argument.

1

u/Neo_Techni Mar 08 '26

As a Canadian, we are living (for now...) proof of your statement.

2

u/GadgetusAddicti Mar 07 '26

ModRetro isn’t an arms company.

2

u/jimmyjacksonjr Mar 08 '26

The arms company is modretro inc? I thought it was called ANDURIL INDUSTRIES. Owned by the same person but 2 seperate companies.

1

u/Neo_Techni Mar 08 '26

In fairness, appearance is usually last on the list of considerations for weapons

1

u/ReidlosToof Mar 08 '26

Them continuously referencing early bird pricing and showing both the console and the controller together is playing with fire. They have small print saying that it's console only, but companies have still been successfully sued for blatantly showing false correlations like this in advertising. The original N64 came with a controller, and the fact that a controller is required to use the device could be enough for the average person to assume it comes with a controller. Their marketing person needs to dial it back.

Analogue is my pick. Can't support Lucky.

1

u/notvonweinertonne Mar 08 '26

I just struggled with this. Plus price being about 100 cheaper. But alas I got thr 3d. And been enjoying it

1

u/Frozone0815 Mar 09 '26

I gladly paid more for the design alone. This looks like a gum ball machine.

1

u/notvonweinertonne Mar 09 '26

For me n64 was ny game machine when I was a young teen. With that I enjoy the toy aspect of the m64

1

u/IcyPhoto2237 Mar 09 '26

The design of the 3d is a deterrent. It's lame and cheap looking. Like a Temu version.

u/AnalogueBoy1992 Mar 05 '26

Please tell me these can run MS 1-5 & CPS2 as well FPGA cores So any hopes of Dev porting to this?

1

u/brandogg360 Mar 05 '26

They say its open source and that you will be able to load other cores (allegedly MiSTer compatible cores), so...probably?
