Clone consoles that play classic game cartridges in HD have been popular for a while now, such as Analogue’s “NT” systems or Hyperkin’s Retron range, but the Nintendo 64 has been unfortunately passed over. That is until now, with Hyperkin announcing the Ultra Retron. Check out a teaser video below:
The system supports 720p output and comes with an “Admiral” controller that mimics the original N64 pad, though it looks like your originals can still be plugged in.
The Ultra Retron will appear at E3 2019 next week, so we’ll almost certainly learn more there.

Whether it’s an exciting new entry in a series long established or a weird experiment meant only for the dedicated, Tom is eager to report on it. Rest assured, if Nintendo ever announces Elite Beat Agents 2, he’ll be there.
