Retro Remake has teased its first FPGA handheld: the SuperStation Pocket. The announcement came as a teaser posted on October 28, 2026 by founder Taki Udon on X — so this is a statement from the creator, with no full spec sheet, release date or final price yet.
What was announced
According to Udon, the project has been in development for a year and is “almost done”. The handheld will play original Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges directly on the device, rather than relying on software emulation. Its FPGA, described as “huge”, is meant to run cores up to PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 — an ambitious promise, since FPGA N64 cores remain immature, and real-world performance can only be judged once the hardware is demonstrated.
The teaser also promises up to 4K HDMI output through an affordable dock, minimal latency and open source from launch. In replies, Udon confirmed four face buttons for better Super Nintendo compatibility and clarified that the SuperStation Pocket is not the GBA SP-style handheld he had recently been showing. Its look recalls the Game Boy Pocket, according to Retro Dodo.
On price there is only a clue: “From $1__”, a figure starting with the digit 1. Specialist outlets read this as under $200, which would undercut the Analogue Pocket, priced at $239 in its base colours — but the exact price has not been confirmed. Until Retro Remake shares specs, price and a date, the SuperStation Pocket should be read for what it is: a promising teaser, not a finished product.
