An FPGA is a reprogrammable chip that can mimic original console hardware. The SuperStation Pocket natively plays Game Boy, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance cartridges. Retro Remake is a low-cost FPGA brand fronted by Taki Udon, a classic handheld reviewer from the scene. The brand became known for Nintendo Switch screens and mods with inconsistent availability, then for FPGA products including the Mister Pi and SuperStation One.
Retro Handhelds reported the SuperStation Pocket is under $200, though the original tweet cut off at that point. Taki Udon described the SuperStation Pocket as having a “huge FPGA” able to run cores up to PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64, with low latency and as an open-source project. HDMI output up to 4K will go through a dock that Retro Remake plans to produce separately, and the SuperStation Pocket has four face buttons confirmed for easier compatibility with systems like SNES. The SuperStation Pocket is not the SP-styled handheld Taki Udon has been showcasing recently.
The under-$200 price with claimed Nintendo 64 capability places the SuperStation Pocket below the Analogue Pocket, listed at $239.99 by Notebookcheck, and below Retro Remake’s own N64-capable SuperStation One. Retro Remake describes the SuperStation One as an affordable FPGA gaming console for PlayStation 1 games that fully supports the MiSTer FPGA platform and is open source from day one.
Taki Udon demonstrated the FPGBA SP handheld on October 12, 2026, with footage showing it running a Pokemon game. The FPGBA SP uses FPGA technology rather than relying solely on conventional software emulation. It supports physical Game Boy Advance cartridges and SD card games, with cartridges running natively rather than being copied into a software emulator, according to Taki Udon.
The FPGBA SP has a clamshell design inspired by Nintendo’s Game Boy Advance SP and a transparent-blue casing. Taki Udon mentioned USB-C output for the device, though full connectivity specifications are not yet detailed. Final specifications, availability and release date for the FPGBA SP have not been announced.
Taki Udon’s price target for the FPGBA SP is around $100, a development target rather than a confirmed retail figure. He said they have made progress, confirmed it plays real cartridges, and is considering a regular FPGBA version while targeting around $100. Retro Remake is not confirming a new FPGA GBA handheld is coming soon; Taki Udon is presenting a passion project that might become a thing if the prototype stars align.
16 Bit World said the Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire demonstration indicates the FPGBA SP is being dialled in specifically as a Game Boy Advance clone. The prototype made its second appearance in 2026 after a September showing of a 2000s clone running Diddy Kong Racing for Nintendo 64.
Current rivals for the FPGBA SP include the Konkr Pocket Advance, the Ayaneo Android clone starting at $129.99, and the Anbernic RG SP for under $60. Emulation-based GBA clones lack physical cartridge support and rely on software. Taki Udon has teased an FPGA SNES console coming in NTSC and PAL flavors.
