ModRetro finally pulled the curtain back on its transparent M64 N64-style console, complete with Funtastic-style shells and a trident controller, and Palmer Luckey is already talking big — calling it “better by every objective measure” than the Analogue 3D while keeping the price at $199. We’ll break down the design, controller, feature set, and whether it really has what it takes to challenge Analogue’s $249.99 4K FPGA monster. ?? That’s not all! We’re also checking out the Abxylute M4, a tiny snap-on iPhone game controller that clings to your MagSafe device, packs real sticks and triggers into a pocket-sized shell, and still comes in at an affordable price. If you’re into retro and cloud gaming on the go, this might be your new everyday carry. ??? And to cap it off, we’re diving into Pixels to Pages, a free YouTube documentary from Game Sack and My Life in Gaming that chronicles the history of Electronic Gaming Monthly with classic editors, deep-cut stories, and a big hit of late-’80s/’90s magazine nostalgia. If you grew up flipping through EGM, you’re gonna feel this one. ??
