Exciting news for retro gaming enthusiasts! A new console, inspired by the MiSTer FPGA open-source project and dedicated to the classic PlayStation One system, is soon hitting the market. Taki Udon, a well-known figure on YouTube and Bluesky, recently revealed that this upcoming console, the SuperStation One, will debut on the Retro Remake website with a price tag of $149. Additionally, you can pre-order the SuperDock, a nostalgic throwback to the PSone Combo pack, for just $5 ahead of its planned $35 retail price.
What makes this console a treat for nostalgia seekers is its ability to play PlayStation One games in their original form, bypassing the need for emulators. Plus, it’s fully compatible with your old memory cards and controllers, adding an authentic touch to your gaming experience. In terms of connectivity, it’s decked out with both analog and digital outputs, offering versatility whether you’re hooking it up to a vintage 13-inch CRT or a sleek 85-inch OLED TV. Modern features like NFC, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth ensure it doesn’t feel outdated despite its retro roots.
Interestingly, Taki Udon mentioned that disc support, not immediately visible in shared images, will be offered via the SuperDock. This add-on not only allows you to revisit your existing PlayStation One game collection, but also comes equipped with four USB-A ports and a slot for a 2280 m.2 SSD, allowing for memory expansion.
For those who grew up with these systems in the late ’90s and early 2000s, especially Millennials and younger Gen Xers, this console is a delightful throwback. Furthermore, it presents an opportunity to introduce classic games to a newer generation, possibly inspiring them to appreciate and perhaps even preserve our gaming history.
If you’re eager to dive back into your favorite old-school titles or to pass them down to your children, the SuperStation One looks to be a worthy investment at $149. Do keep in mind that this price is solely for the console itself, so you’ll need your own controllers and memory cards. Opting for the dock to use CDs and enhance memory will require an additional $35.
Altogether, if you incorporate inexpensive retro controllers and accessories, the complete experience of reliving the PlayStation One era will cost around $250. And for those looking to go all out, why not consider picking up a 43-inch CRT TV to truly capture the nostalgia of old-school gaming?
