This thing is cool but I really think the product design is what's being sold here. The base Analogue Pocket is more expensive than a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, and the metal one is more expensive than an Odin 2. I think it's really cool that they have physical adapters for cartridges, but this is WAY too limited in capabilities for me to want to consider it when cheaper options like the RP4P, RG556, and Odin can handle actual console emulation. The Analogue Pocket is cool but it's definitely aimed at a hyper specific niche audience that want something like this, can afford something like this, and don't mind that it's significantly more limited than other options.

It’s fine for the regular non-aluminum additions but just for aluminum not to mention to make it heavier $500 you’re crazy. now, if they made a different model similar to the GBA horizontal frame, where it feels better to play on, I would’ve considered it. I do mods on my switches aluminum joycons, and buttons feel amazing but not a $600 addition for aesthetics. they should just honestly sell it half the price as a DYI kit if anything and that’s reaching.

When the Analogue Pocket was announced I actually got excited about retro gaming again and got back into the hobby. My hope was to collect a bunch of my favorite old game boy cartridges and then purchase the device when the time came. To my disappointment, the scarcity of these devices and absolute scam on pricing with shipping and handling turned me off to Analogue. So I'm content with my Gameboy Color and Anbernic devices now. My disdain for this company on grows as keep pushing out FOMO overpriced devices.

Actually this release makes the clear Analogue Pocket display case make more sense. I have a clear case but it fails as an actually travel case to protect your system. Could Analogue have been thinking about the aluminum version since the start because they released the clear case right at launch.

I owned one of those sleek silver PS2 Slims, and it truly stood out as one of the most beautiful gadgets I’ve ever had. However, the micro scratches were maddening, and it deteriorated rapidly.

I have to admit. The Analogue Pocket is a very beautiful, sleek and futuristic looking GameBoy device. The Analogue Pocket is a top quality, premium handheld. Though, I think my Wood Grain Edition ANBERNIC RG351V looks sleek and beautiful as well. Moreover, not going to knock the ones who spent top dollars for the Analogue Pockets. If you can afford it and if it's your thing, I'd say go for it! Enjoy life to the fullest. *I would recommend the Analogue Pocket even though it's 500 bucks to the ones who admire it's overall concept, those who would cherish and take extra care of it and for those who want a top quality Game Boy Style premium handheld. Especially, if you work and have a job. You can maybe put in some overtime, pay for one using Klarna payments or use a zero interest credit card. If you do get one, make extra sure you get the color you want the first time!

I love the look of the analogue pockets but never have been able to justify the price on any model so far. Creating artificial supply shortage is always a bad business practice.

This would remove the supply issues by guaranteeing the funds up front and would do away with scalpers. I just cant support a business that purposely makes it hard for its customers to get ahold of their product.

Yet you support Nintendo who don't even support their own retro consoles properly these days? They put the extremely limited amount of retro games that they've put on switch behind a subscription service that isn't worth it and don't cater to the fans of the older Nintendo titles. At the end of the day if there's a market for it, companies are going to make a product to fill that. Analogue prices are ludicrous but there's plenty of other handheld emulators that cost 1/4 of what it would cost to buy only a legitimate copy of say Pokemon Emerald for the GBA nowadays which would set you back £150 GBP with no guarantee of it even being an original copy! If Nintendo re released older games/consoles and filled that market in themselves in the first place, maybe people wouldn't be resorting to handheld emulators and risking buying fake copies of retro games posed as legit.
