When Nintendo followed up its exceedingly popular NES Classic Edition with the SNES Classic Edition, we assumed an N64 Classic Edition would be the logical next step. Unfortunately, the company confirmed that there won’t be any more retro consoles in the near future as it focuses on the Switch and the library of NES games for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. But the good news is that Nintendo isn’t the only company building retro machines.
In a LinkedIn post this week, Hyperkin project manager Andrew Steel revealed that the company’s next release will be the Retron Ult Premium Retro Gaming Console for N64. Steel wasn’t able to share any details, but GameSpot reports that the N64 clone will play original N64 cartridges running at 720p. Inside the box, along with the console, will be an “Admiral” controller, a three-foot HDMI cable, and a six-foot USB-C cable.
