In the absence of being able to launch its computer project “Manufactured in the United States”, Palmer Luckey, co -founder of Oculus, who since then has been bought by goal was to become a goal Quest, he becomes resolutely the past.
In a publication about X, the businessman revealed the M64, which describes as “the best version and the most authentic” of Nintendo 64 to play their favorite games.
It was his company, Mretrero, who had already proposed the chromatic, a reinterpretation of the color of Game Boy. The latter will also be in stock again for those who wish to benefit from a more modern console to execute their old games stock.
Legal details still unanswered
The M64 should cost around $ 200 for those who predate it. Keep in mind that it is not an emulator that significantly improves the original experience: “It is a more efficient and precise recreation of the original console,” specifies Palmer Luckey. The “classics” of the console could re -broadcast for the occasion.
However, Palmer Luckey suggests that everything is not yet stuck: “We are waiting for the last legal checks.” Nintendo knows how to be very upset by those who use their intellectual properties.
But the patents around the Nintendo 64 expired, as well as those of the Game Boy color. Run in 1996, the 64 -bit console of Nintendo saw its patents fall 12 years ago.
However, Mretrero is not the only company that has returned life to Nintendo 64. In 2023, it was analogous, which proposed the 3D analogue. A console was sold for $ 250, without shipping costs and customs. This company also signed the pocket analogue, which allows you to run Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance Games, with various improvements and a load in USB-C.
Therefore, this return of the old consoles, but with technical modifications to be able to connect them to modern screens or tools, is allowed by the expiration of patents, but also by the appetite of the players. The success of the different similar machines has made Palmer Luckey want to embark on this adventure. It remains to be seen if nostalgic people will be there.
