Hyperkin, a global leader in video game hardware, announced today that they are collaborating with hardware pioneers ModRetro to release color-matched controllers for their upcoming M64 gaming console.

Hyperkin’s revered Captain Premium Controllers are now compatible with the ModRetro M64 and built to last, with truly mashable button strength which will resist the heady punches of the most frustrated challengers, and a comfortable design that fits perfectly into the palms of keen retro gamers. They feature a lengthy 3 meter (10ft) cable to allow easy access around the console and ensure that even owners of the largest gaming rooms can enjoy jumping back into 64-bit bliss. Flip over the controller and you’ll find an extension port on the back, allowing use of memory cards and rumble feedback accessories to augment your gaming experience.

The M64 is making its PAX EAST 2026 debut in Hyperkin’s booth, offering attendees a hands-on experience with the controllers and a refined take on the golden age of 64-bit gaming. Designed to match ModRetro’s M64 colors, the M64 Captain Premium Controller will be available in the striking M64 hues of Green, Clear, Purple and Red.

If you’re in attendance at PAX EAST 2026, make sure you head to Booth#17114 (Hyperkin x Dial Up Games gaming booth) so you can experience the M64 Captain Premium Controllers first hand – the Red and Clear controllers will be hooked up to the M64 so that players can enjoy some classic titles with these stylish new SKUs.

Slade Dude Suzuki, Lead Product Developer for Hyperkin commented, “As lovers of retro gaming ourselves, we’re excited to announce our collaboration with ModRetro. We think that the updated Captain Premium Controller is the perfect match for their groundbreaking new M64 console. We’ve had such great community feedback about the Captain Controller, and being able to link it up with something as fresh and exciting as the M64 is a real dream for our team at Hyperkin.”

The M64 hues of the Captain Premium Controller will come out this year and will be available in four new colors (Green, Clear, Purple and Red), in addition to the existing colorways for the product (Amethyst Purple, Lime Green, Gray, Rival Purple, Hero Brown, Hero Green, Turquoise and Black).
