Happy New Years from Pixel FX!
We hope your holiday season has been filled with joy, relaxation, and maybe even a few gaming sessions with your retro collection. As we wrap up another year, we’re excited to share updates on the Analog Bridge and the latest additions to our RetroGEM series!
Morph 4K Analog Bridge: Hardware in Production
We’re thrilled to announce that the hardware for the Morph 4K Analog Bridge is now in production with fabrication! While we wait for the hardware to arrive, we want to share some important details about the preorder process.
Initial pre-order batches will be reserved for those who purchased the Morph 4K at the original price, as a thank-you for your patience and support while we worked to bring the Analog Bridge to life.
We’ll have more information about the availability of open batches for all customers after this initial pre-order. Stay tuned—we’re excited to get the Morph 4K Analog Bridge into your hands!
3DO RetroGEM Available now!
3DO RetroGEM units are packed and ready to go! While there was a slight delay, it was necessary to ensure that the RetroGEM supports all 3DO consoles except late model anvil. We’re eager to hear feedback from 3DO enthusiasts and see how the RetroGEM enhances their experience with this iconic console. Stay tuned for updates on when orders will open!
The listing is now live on our webstore. Installation details will be posted in the next day or two.
