After the success of the SuperStation One console, gamers were curious to know what Taki Udon — a tech blogger, portable device developer, and head of Retro Remake — would work on next.
By posting a message online saying, “Time to do it again. Codename SSNT/SuperFPGA,” and a photo of the Super NES Reset button, he clearly indicated that he intends to tackle an FPGA version of the Super Nintendo. This device will surely stand proudly alongside consoles like the M64 and Analogue 3D.
To firmly cement the idea in players' minds, Taki Udon also posted a picture of the Reset button from the PAL version of the SNES. This move by the creator of SuperStation One — an FPGA device capable of not only running PS1 games but also loading cores of other retro systems — was appreciated by many.
Currently, the N64 niche is already occupied by ModRetro and Analogue, so for Taki Udon, the best option would be to move directly to the SNES and capture the market with his FPGA console, possibly with a cartridge slot. There's no point in going head-to-head with companies already vying for the N64 crown.
Moreover, the SNES is such a beloved console that people will surely jump at the chance to acquire its FPGA version. Especially if it gets overclocking and all the features that players love FPGA devices for: CRT filters, various screen modes, and, of course, the crucial HDMI output for modern TVs.
