Hyperkin, makers of retro and modern gaming peripherals, had its latest old-school homage on display at PAX East 2019 in Boston: the RetroN S64 Console Dock for Nintendo Switch.
The tiny Jungle Green N64 has 3 USB ports, as well as USB-C for power and HDMI for TV play. Unlike most docks, Hyperkin’s RetroN S64 Console Dock can be used either as a stand-alone charging dock or as a TV dock. Check out some images of the RetroN S64 Console Dock from PAX East.
There’s a toggle button on the RetroN S64 in place of where the cover for the Extension Pak bay on the original N64 is. Pressing the button lets you play in the same way Nintendo’s stand-alone charging dock does, with the added benefit of switching it back to play on the TV. It’s small enough to toss into any bag, making it a great choice for traveling with your Nintendo Switch.
Mashing buttons will get you nowhere!

If you’re lucky enough to be in Boston for PAX, you might be able to still pick one up at Hyperkin’s booth on the floor for $39.99 USD, or you can order it directly from Hyperkin Lab. However, Hyperkin told us there aren’t many left, but it will be getting more later this year with more wide-spread availability.
Hyperkin also has its wireless Xbox One driving wheel on display, as well as an adapter and light gun to play Duck Hunt on modern, non-CRT televisions.
