Hey everyone! Chris here, Head of Games Publishing.
We handpicked every single launch title to show off exactly what the M64 is capable of. Each game highlights a totally different strength, both for developers and the hardware itself. Let’s break down what you'll be playing on day one, and give you a sneak peek at what’s brewing in our release pipeline.
Xibalba 64
A brand-new, "Doom-like" FPS Complete with multiplayer co-op and deathmatch modes, this ambitious indie title is the perfect introduction to what the modern N64 development community is capable of. Fight your way through the Mayan underworld, where cruel gods, forgotten technology and timeless myths collide.
Xeno Crisis
You might have played this incredible arena shooter on other platforms, but you haven’t experienced it like this. We brought Xeno Crisis on board not only because it’s extremely awesome but to specifically demonstrate the M64's raw power as a "2D powerhouse." The console handles massive, highly detailed sprite counts with absolutely zero lag. If you’re new to Xeno Crisis it’s a fast-paced arena shooter where one or two players control elite marines on a mission to eliminate an alien threat and escape alive.
Extreme-G: Turbo Fusion
We’re huge fans of Extreme-G here at ModRetro. That’s why we’re bringing you a completely custom, two-in-one compilation featuring both iconic N64-era Extreme-G titles on a single cartridge. This release underscores the lengths we will go to celebrate legendary original titles while serving up a massive dose of high-speed, futuristic nostalgia.
Buck Bumble
Right about now, that infectious theme song should be playing in your head! The Argonaut classic is officially back. Bringing Buck Bumble to the M64 library is our way of celebrating the games that gave the 5th generation its undeniable, distinct personality. Armed with a formidable arsenal, take to the skies as Buck, the most dangerous cyborg bumblebee alive, fighting The Herd Army and their mutant insect horde!
The Future M64 Pipeline - 2026 and beyond
Launch is just the baseline. Our long-term mission for the M64 library is to create the definitive physical ecosystem for this era of gaming. We are deep in development on a pipeline that stretches well into the future, built around three core pillars:
-
Brand-New Ports & Canceled Gems: There is a treasure trove of gaming history that was lost to time due to original hardware limitations, shifting publisher priorities, or changing console cycles. We are actively tracking down, licensing, and finishing cancelled titles, as well as porting 90s classics, so they can finally see the light of day on physical M64 cartridges.
-
Brand-New Indie Titles: We are collaborating with incredible modern developers who are absolute masters of the hardware to bring you brand-new titles that push the M64 to its absolute limits.
-
Enhanced Original Classics: We aren't planning on just re-printing legacy games, our aim is to deliver the definitive versions of them. Our pipeline also includes technical overhauls of beloved classics, giving you something beautifully familiar yet fresh and refined.
We're building a library that respects creators, honors physical media, and delivers absolute fun. The M64 is going to be something special, and we can’t wait for you to experience it firsthand!
