The SuperStation One, the FPGA-based console by Taki Udon and manufactured by RetroRemake, already has reservations open for a new batch in transparent colors. These are finishes that the company presents as a limited edition and, according to Udon himself, will not be produced again once they run out.
Orders are managed through the RetroRemake website and start at $249.99 for the new colors, with first shipments expected in December. Whoever wants a unit will have to hurry: some variants are already starting to sell out.
The SuperStation One: an FPGA platform designed for the catalog
The key to the SuperStation One is that it does not function as a closed system, but rather as an FPGA platform that runs many of the MiSTer cores. This means that, in addition to emulation of the first PlayStation, on which its design is inspired, the console adds other machines throughout the generation thanks to that base of cores.
For those who play retro games, this approach matters more than the technical specs: the value lies not in a performance figure, but in how much catalog you can have on a single device connected to your TV. Compatibility with the MiSTer ecosystem is precisely what has made the SuperStation One one of the most followed FPGA options in the sector, and the community does not stop expanding it: a few days ago we saw how the Mercury kit converts a MiSTer FPGA into a Sega Saturn, an example of just how far that catalog can go.

Accessories that expand the experience
The announcement comes just one day after RetroRemake presented its SuperStation Bluetooth Receiver, an accessory that uses the controller port to connect current Bluetooth controllers. According to the outlet, the receiver is not only for the SuperStation but also works with original PS1 and PS2 consoles.
Added to this piece is a disc tray for PS1 that the company has in reserve for a future batch and that allows playing original games on discs authentically, a relevant detail for those who keep their physical collection.
What changes for someone wanting to buy one
The arrival of transparent colors does not change what the console does, but it reinforces the hook of a machine that lives off its catalog and its community. The purchase decision, however, still depends on the same thing as always: how many cores you are truly interested in and for how long the platform will continue to receive support.
With a limited edition that is not going to be restocked and units that are already starting to run scarce, whoever hesitates between waiting or reserving should have clear that here the clock is running against them. If the retro catalog and long-term support weigh on your decision, the time to move the piece is now.
