Win64e10 is an N64 emulator that has recently popped on the Xbox Games Store.
Spotted by Destructoid, the app is apparently an updated version of Mupen64plus.
Originally available for Windows 10 and Windows Phone, the latest update has added support for Xbox One.
The app is described as “the most advanced N64 emulator for Windows 10,” that will let you “play all Nintendo 64 games.”
I’d be surprised if Nintendo didn’t have anything to say on the matter, so in all likelihood, it’s only a matter of time before the app is pulled.

This is a Windows app? It won't allow N64 games on Xbox? There are already lot's of free N64 emulators out there. Why pay $10 for one?

I guess that's the draw to be able to play on the console. On my office computer (Windows 7), whenever I go to the page it says the app is not compatible with my device, so I'm not sure on the specifics.

They can pull it from your console can't they? They pulled that Fallout 4 from people's consoles when they erroneously gave it away for 10 bucks a while back.

You can't run Windows store apps on 7.

News about a Nintendo 64 app for Xbox One emerged this week on Reddit. It apparently let you play games from the classic system, including Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64.
Now, as you might have imagined, the app has been removed, though people who have it installed can reportedly continue to use it.
As reported by Eurogamer, the app is called Win64e10. It was actually released over the weekend, according to people on Reddit, though buzz didn't really build until days later. According to the site, the app, which cost the equivalent of £7.69, was "hidden on the marketplace as it had not received a Microsoft-approved release." If you knew the app's name, however, you could apparently find it.
Microsoft has now stepped in to pull down the app. People on Reddit report that it still works for those who have it installed, though it has some issues that future patches could have addressed. You can see a YouTube video of how the app works here.
