Taki Udon is done teasing PlayStations, apparently. On October 7, the RetroRemake co-founder — the guy behind the FPGA PlayStation that is the SuperStation One — posted a photo of the Reset button on an NTSC Super Nintendo with the caption “It’s time to run it back.” And just like that, the retro hardware scene has its next obsession: a rumoured FPGA SNES, currently codenamed “SSNT/SuperFPGA.”
The tease is classic Taki. According to Time Extension, he followed up the post after a fan begged him not to make the mystery device look like the “ugly” American SNES — and Taki replied with a photo of a PAL/JPN SNES Reset button and the words “Don’t worry, we have all regions covered.” So whatever this thing is, it’s aiming for all three SNES/Super Famicom hardware designs, not just one.
That’s literally all we know. No specs, no price, no release date — the details end there, per Time Extension’s reporting. But context fills in the blanks nicely: Retro Dodo notes this would put the device shoulder-to-shoulder with the M64 and Analogue 3D, and the analysis is dead-on — with ModRetro and Analogue already duking it out for the N64 FPGA crown, sidestepping that fight to give the beloved 16-bit SNES the FPGA treatment is a smart play. Taki’s track record helps too: the SuperStation One was a genuine hit, an FPGA PS1 that also loads cores for other retro systems and plays your actual discs via a dock.
Here’s my take: the timing couldn’t be better. 2026 has been an absolute banner year for the SuperStation One, and an FPGA SNES done with the same obsessive attention to detail — real cartridge slot, proper region support, HDMI with the CRT filters we’ve come to expect — would sell itself. The SNES is arguably the most beloved console of its generation, and it has never gotten the premium FPGA treatment the way the Genesis, N64, and PS1 have. That’s a gap begging to be filled.
Neither outlet reports any generative-AI involvement in the project — standard community hardware craft, by the looks of it. As for when we learn more, Taki works at his own pace, and I’ll be watching his posts for the reveal the way I watched for the SuperStation One restocks.

So, reader question: if the SSNT/SuperFPGA launches with full multi-region support, what design are you hoping for — the chunky American slab, the sleek PAL/Super Famicom look, or something brand new?
