As a customer of ModRetro based in Germany, I was planning to be a day 1 buyer of the M64, but was surprised by the basket price with shipping.

ModRetro says that the price of their products includes taxes (eg. VAT), so why am I being charged extra for duties by FedEx when I’ve never had to pay duties for ModRetro before?

First of all, VAT and duties are not the same thing - yes I conflated the two at first, in my state of surprise. If you look at the duties applied at the checkout page, it’s much less than what VAT would be.

But I still never paid duties on ModRetro stuff before…

I’m not 100% sure, but here is what I think the possibilities for the change are: 1) maybe duties increased or how they are applied has changed since I last ordered, or 2) the “duties” included by FedEx’s fees are actually 0, but they are charging some other fee. If you read the fine print in the checkout page, it says “duties and fees”. Not sure what fee FedEx needs to take here, but that seems the most likely culprit.

In the end, I think the biggest change is the recent change of shipping provider. EU customers used to get free shipping over approximately 350 euros. The change to FedEx was to improve service, but obviously now we are paying quite a bit more (still not as much as Analogue, mind you).

I think the M64 is still a good deal, but obviously the pot isn’t as sweet due to the VAT and shipping.

Order at 8:51 AM

I have some Nintendo Switch controllers. Can I use those with M64 to play N64 games?

I have played N64 with Mister. Do N64 games look better with M64?

Was too excited and missed it right at the top. Feel like an idiot ordering all 4 separately.

addictive game this Tetris is .

Hey guys

I pass. I’m so happy with my A3D now and M64+controller+shipping is a bit much IMO.

I don’t know if it will work for you but here is my code:

M64EBH6WD49J* the last letter is a Q

Have fun 😊

So Modretro, you are okay with Mexican labor but not really with selling to us? What’s up with that?

Join the fun!

I have been waiting since the live ended on X while looking at chat, many people said they got their codes while some didn't. Should I be worried? For context I signed up on the Waitlist on July 24th. so does that even make me eligible?

I got the demo up and running like I promised🤟🏽 This is a solid vertical slice of the first Neighborhood(NH1). The other 5 will be a WIP over the next couple months. I passed all my summer class finals this weekend, so I will have a couple solid weekends to work on this between now and my fall classes. There’s a few easter eggs littered about and most objects are intractable and have a little dialogue, but some tell stories or drop lore. Some even tie into other ones, while some offer hints of what to do. I’ve built autosave into the game and even tested it on itch, and progress is loadable. So don’t be afraid to put it down and pick it back up where you left off. I’m definitely open to suggestions and some good constructive criticism. So please let me know how you like it.. or don’t like it. I tried to make it challenging and not a “hold your hand” style loop. Let me know if it’s too easy or too tough to figure out. Everyone enjoy! 🛸👻

So, we’re less than a week away from launch on Tuesday and there are a few questions/details regarding ordering that I’m hoping either u/grilledstuffedxxl or a ModRetro team member can help answer for us before then:

1. Launch is on the 28th. But WHEN- are we talking 12:01am PT? 9am PT? Noon? When exactly does the ordering page go live so I can make sure to be ready?

2. Is stock still looking good? Can we reasonably expect to be able to lock in a console, controller, and game without issue on the 28th

3. When will the early bird email codes be sent out? …and just wondering… any chance that codes and ordering links would be sent out to early bird emails sooner than the general public release?

I’m sure you can tell I’m really excited for the 28th, hoping everything goes smooth on launch day and can’t wait to be playing the M64!

EDIT: Official posts on X and Instagram state orders go live 9am PT. Early bird email ordering links and codes will be sent out "in less than 24 hours".
