Perfectly timed for the restock, just snagged mine.

Fantastic video. no clickbait nonsense, and well presented. Instantly subscribed.

China will eventually catch up with the FPGA trend, but for now the Analogue Pocket is a pretty unique option.

The production value on this video is awesome. As someone who quit youtube because of the tedious grind that comes with editing I have to sub. Awesome work.

Amazing review and production quality dude!

Fantastic production quality and a great watch !

I really wish they’d make a revision designed around the GBA and perfectly upscaling that’s screen instead.

The screen being the only screen on the market to reach 616ppi is incredible in itself. The buttons are responsive and the sound awesome. Plays all gba, gbc, and gb games with the option to use the SD card for laser precise emulation on what it plays. Overall a real premium device for any retro gamer supporting both cartridges and emulation. No device on the market can provide that. I have the red cherry Starburst version 😆. I also have the rg405 m. When it come to accurate emulation the pocket wins hands down.

I've had mine since late 22 but only started playing it recently when the screen modes and arcade games were added. I bought the dock and a stick to play the arcade games on my TV and I'm really enjoying it. The Amiga implementation alone makes it worth the money also. I think I'll sell one of my Amigas because I prefer playing those games on Pocket now.

You know dude is a real one when he shows Metal Gear Ghost Babel many times during the video. That game was one of my most memorable gaming experiences ever.

Amazing production. Had to subscribe! Keep up the good work

In my country, analogue pocket price is equivalent to buying 3 brand new ps5 and maybe 2 -3 AAA barand new game. I know nostalgia comes with a price, but well.

Great review and production quality!

What a beautifully made video. Really enjoyed that. With shipping, taxes and import duty on top of a poor currency exchange rate, I'm still finding this console to be out of my budget here in the UK. It is a very nice looking console though.

just made a purchase-lucky to see them in stock

This was super helpful! Thank you

Yes! Great video! Such a great combination of portable/dockable rock-solid multi-system execution and emulation. No complaint, and my favorite “console” ever. So glad I preordered this thing sight-unseen, before there were even any reviews. It was a gamble, but really paid off. 🙏

Love this video dude! Keep up the great work! I’m from the UK, would you recommend picking up a used analogue pocket if I have to? I want to make some Pokémon silver content 😊

I have and I'm super happy I grew up in that era.I have like one analogue pocket and I'm super happy

I think ill stick to the Evercade EXP, less expensive. Great video though!

There's something about the Gameboy music that is very comforting to my ears.

It is good if you have some gameboy and game gear add on and gba games.

I love It so much, I bought three

I've had my black one for over a year now, love it! I wish the dock was half the price they sell it for. Would like to check out the games on a newer tv.

Funny playing has a made a Kit that you build your own Gameboy Color with IPS screen, Improved Speaker, Rechargeable USB-C battery and no soldering required for around $85, but thats only if you want to play GB and GBC games there is no GBA support as of right now. Looks like a fun weekend project.

"If you don't neatly fit into the category of sicko" XD

The prices are ok on their website but scalpers buy them all up and sell them locally for three times the cost. People in Toronto be selling them for $650 a piece

I have a funny playing FPGA GBC but I had a friend tag me in the restock and been playing my large library of cartridges and just found all of my games so I caved but I paying the price it's so expensive but I figured it will only get better and one day I'd love for maybe my grandkids to be able to enjoy the history and then play them in a lot nicer resolution and way and I got 2 so now they both got a device and they can both trade pokemon with it :D my niece is gonna get the Analogue Pocket she's older so she gets the nicer screen haha but both are beautiful screens :D

Great video. This thing looks amazing, but I have an RG350M already and I can't see myself buying this to actually play games on it. I sold off all my physical GB/GBA games 20 years ago, so I'd basically just be using it for emulation. Thanks for the detailed information, you basically answered every thought I had about it in my head.

FPGBC or OLED GBC Kit.

Thanks. Amazing video.

I'd be curious to see a pocket docked on the TV vs GameCube Gameboy peripheral.

I ended up getting one a few months ago. Don't regret it. I'm shocked no one has made a similar device in the shape of a gba yet with cheaper materials. I assumed there'd be a dozen cheaper copycats by now but those never came. It's currently my favorite way to play my cartridges. Just wish the dpad was a bit better.

They need to fix the save corruption glitches while in sleep mode or charging

love the production quality. subscribed.

I'm loving my AP. Such a great way to enjoy my Neo Geo Pocket Colour and Lynx games in crispy upscaled glory via the Adapter set + TV Dock. And of course GameBoy and GBA games. I'll no doubt start investigating the arcade cores, but for now, having a one stop device to play the above in addition to my PCE/TG16 HuCards is so awesome. Expensive, but i couldn't resist it...

Oh man what's that intro song? I know it's a Castlevania Bloodlines remix but who made it?

If it wasnt worth buying the ebay scalpers wouldnt be driving up the cost so much

If they ever come out with one designed for dual screen gaming, i think I'd shell out the money

You deserve more subs

Good luck trying to find one, last year in mid November I was snooping around their website right when they opened and got super lucky unfortunately the colors were selling out quick got myself Red looks cool. I also bought myself a Everdrive Mini and finally took the times to learn the ancient secrets of ROMs. The Analogue Pocket loads ROMs easily the Everdrive does to but with a little help still playing gen 3 Pokémon without battery rot is just so fun

Great video, great editing! I hit the sub button hard 💪

Wait, right now? As in... NO WAITING!?

Great video production! Nice job

I would buy it if it had a speed up feature. I love emulating pokemon but the grind can get very boring, a fast forward option is pretty necessary for me

I bought one such a great handheld only issue i had was in order to get games to work they had to be super clean on the pins on my gameboy colour games work no issue but pocket refused to load intill i clean it pristine

Maybe i missed it in the video, but how's the battery life?

Thank you Christopher Taber

It has no IR? So you can't do the Mystery Gift in Pokémon gen 2?

That genesis Castlevania music is a real head bopper. Too bad you didn't credit it, compared to pretty much everything else in the description.

So someone that doesn’t have any cartridges and has their steam deck set up to emulate shouldn’t buy one then right? I really like the new limited editions out in aluminum but don’t know if I should commit to getting one

The GBA is a 32 bit console.

It would had been awesome if the GameCube cable would fit into the Gameboy. Thanks for the overview

Does it erase saved data from poke games? Are poke games able to save on the hardware?

Would love to buy one of these. Shame it's near impossible to get one for a decent price (am located in Canada)

I'm not sure why there is a year attached the question. The AP is only capable of playing anything 20-25-ish or more years old and will be revalent for a long time. I looked into getting a NES, SNES, looked in to doing HDMI mods and getting Everdrive flash carts. Just the NES alone could be over $500 itself. I looked into the MiSTer too but that alone cost $500-$700 easily, however, MiSTer FPGA is branching into PS1, Sega Saturn and N64, systems that the AP just can't do. With their upcoming FPGA N64 clone, they wouldn't be making a pocket capable of N64 any time soon. Yeah the AP only can do save states for a few cores, but if you were to get a real SNES and bring it to the modern age, you wouldn't either. There is a community driven handheld FPGA device in the works but it won't match the AP. There is the FPGA GameBoy Color from Funny Playing that looks pretty cool. As an owner of IPS modded GB, GBC and GBA, the AP is hands down the best option and cheaper that all three. I also have 2x 8bitdo controllers of SNES, NeoGeo, Sega Saturn and PC Engine. The SNES are originally for original SNES but they can be flashed to work directly with the AP Dock. The Sega Saturn and PC Engine style controllers can but then you lose the ability to use them via USB adapters or wired on other systems. I would say it you are a stickler for accuracy, AP all the way. If you're not too concerned with accuracy and was to play games on CD systems like Sega CD through Wii, then there are some nice emulation handhelds for $150 to $200-ish.

What about this Vs the Mod Retro CHROMATIC?

The comment section is very sus

A small but important correction: FPGA implementations aren't inherently more accurate than software emulation. It's really dependent on the implementation. An FPGA implementation can be less accurate than a cycle-accurate software emulator.

Maybe I am missing something here, but instantly creating and loading save states... Is not a first of it's kind feature???? Old GB, GBA, and SNES emulators from like... 2001 could do this. The NSO emulators on switch could do this back in 2017... I'm confused????

What is this retro star ship game @2.15 in the video pls?

I was on the fence recently to buy one but wow the shipping costs to Europe are just insane. And then there’s also added VAT and import duties. So sadly a no for me. But it such a desirable device.

eBay prices are on crack . They dropping more tomorrow morning

I want it..

Nobody told him about the Sega Saturn, and N64 cores? ... This plays N64 games, very well.

good work

the price gouging on Amazon right now is messed up.. double price or more

Just get an anbernic device saves you alot of money and better controls too

I'm building a boxy pixel gbc amoled imo I'd rather have that than a analog pocket

Not worth the price. A modded gameboy advance with a backlit screen and usb charger is the way to go. My analog pocket stays at home mostly its just too expensive to take out 400$ is crazy 😂

I hate the fact that it cost 300+ in the second party market.. thats just too expensive man

It's 2024! No Bluetooth connection between others!?

Quick answer for anyone: YES, VERY much.

"openFPGA" Analog pocket's proprietary OS 🤔

Why is everyone mentioning the "quality of production" for this video? Did you buy bot comments dude?

Hopefully they restock soon cause they are out of stock at the time

Epilogue GB Operator and Geek Tech Premium FRAM cartridges.

Are you can used funny playing gameboy color however a lot less games you can play on it

Costs more than a rabbit r1.

How do you get games on it?

Did he say Ambernic wrong?

The d-pad still sucks (false inputs, bad diags). Worst console purchase of my life. Buyer beware.

EVERY FPGA LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

they are always sold out smh

It bothers me so much that this thing has four face buttons when all eight systems it supports had two. It wants to be a premium love letter to 90s handhelds but it rejects a universal design principle of the era so that it can run pirated SNES roms like a $30 no-name emulation handheld.

no get a real GBC with a q5 mod

To be honest, unless you are specifically using one the Analogue special features, like making music for example, I genuinely don't think it's worth it. You can buy and refurbish a GBA with a new shell, buttons, an IPS screen, and a USB C Mod, and buy an FPGBC (Basically a new GBC in 2024 that uses the same system that Analogue uses with the pocket) all from FunnyPlaying for less than the price of the Pocket, all while guaranteeing that the color ways and such are always in stock.

It's only worth it if you're a dedicated collector. If you're just someone who wants to play games, then it's not even close to being worth it. Even if you're a collector, have dealing with Analouge's anti-consumer purchasing process and scalpers. It's such a shame too, because it is an amazing piece of hardware.

This device sucks ,extortionate, thank god for funnyplaying and their fpga

It's not 10 times the resolution of the original game boy, but 100 times (10 x 10).

It wasnt worth it when it came out, it def is not worth it in 2024

It's always out of stock, so I can't determine if it's worth buying since they've decided it's no longer worth selling.

No, it's an overpriced underpowered device.

No. You can't buy it on official store. So the only option will be scalpers. Analogue is the worst gaming company in terms of customer service. It's limited and underpowered asf. I don't give a damn about fpga and how it's being hyped as the second coming of jesus. An RP3 plus, AyN odin 2 and other newer retro emulation handhelds are far more capable and powerful. You can stream games, browse web, play videos, music and far widef selection of more powerful consoles to emulate. Even Switch and windows games can be emulated now. If you really want to play those old cartridges, get a modded gameboy. Heck, there's an alternative FPGA handheld right now that is out.

No OLED no buy. You can keep that 30-40ms lag.

Short answer, no. Especially now there is a way cheaper fpga gameboy. Forgot the name, but that's worth it over this. It's made by Funny playing. But this is just overkill

It's not worth it even at start of selling.

Never has been.

The GBA had awful sound quality. Does the Analogue Pocket alleviate that at all?
