The physical Nintendo 64 cartridge arrives as part of ModRetro's Classics Collection, 28 years after the game's original launch.
Updated on Nov. 8, 2026 in Gaming
ModRetro has released a physical version of Body Harvest, the 1998 Nintendo 64 title, priced at $49.99. The cartridge is compatible with the original Nintendo 64 (NTSC only) and ModRetro's M64, and supports the Rumble Pak.
Why it matters
The release gives collectors and retro players a legitimate physical copy of a game originally developed by DMA Design, the studio that later became Rockstar North. It arrives alongside ModRetro's re-release of ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut.
The cartridge costs $49.99 and runs on the original NTSC Nintendo 64 or ModRetro's M64, with Rumble Pak support and an included instruction manual. Purchaser reviews on ModRetro average 4.9 out of 5, while the game's original reviews were described as fairly average.
The players
DMA Design
A British studio that developed Body Harvest and Grand Theft Auto before being rebranded as Rockstar North.
ModRetro
A company that produces hardware and reissues physical retro game cartridges, including the M64 console compatible with Nintendo 64 titles.
The details
Body Harvest lets players drive over 60 vehicles, from civilian cars to military tanks, while exploring open-world environments without linear constraints. The time-travel premise sends players to different eras to fight aliens.
Timeline
October 1998: DMA Design originally released Body Harvest.
October 20, 1998: Release date listed on the game's page.
November 8, 2026: ModRetro's physical release was reported.
Roadmap
DMA Design released Grand Theft Auto in 1997, one year before Body Harvest, and the studio later became Rockstar North. The physical Body Harvest cartridge revives a title from that early period of the studio's output.
Collectors who want a physical copy of Body Harvest can buy the $49.99 cartridge, which works on an original NTSC Nintendo 64 or ModRetro's M64. Owners can use the included Rumble Pak support and manual for a complete play setup.
The takeaway
Physical retro releases allow collectors to own cartridges for games whose original runs are decades old. Buyers should check console compatibility, since the release is NTSC-only.
