Just when you thought the Game Boy was dead, here comes the Analogue Pocket, which can play all Game Boy-family games, plus Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Atari Lynx cartridges.
What's the point of an unofficial non-original console that still requires cartridges? You want the classic feel? Then get the real thing. If not, I don't see why you wouldn't want emulation. "Buhu, emulation is so bad, but let me use that backlit ips HD screen." I don't get it.
Personally I can’t see this doing that well, just due to the software emulation that is currently available for free or next to nothing. I mean like sure the dock is cool, but, many phones and pc’s are now supported on most tv’s. Legally speaking, this is awesome and all of that capability for only $200 seems like a steal. But illegally speaking, just emulate all of those things man, it’s free.
Pffft! $200? No thanks! I'd sooner buy a used PC, throw a 1050Ti or something in it and emulate a hella lot more that what that offers. Portability you say? Nah, my phone does just fine for that….NEXT!
No thanks I got my switch should have thought about that before Nintendo included SNES and NES games that get updated, plus it's free sorta it's kinda bundle with the terrible 20 dollar subscription for online. No thanks nice nostalgia tho
So what ign has failed to mention, it is not just a gameboy it has a DAW feature so think of it like a super upgraded chip tunes. So this thing isn’t just another retro game player, but of course let’s not showcase the other stuff this thing was built to do because we don’t do that here. I’m sure talking about the other features this has would make 200 dollars seem less of an issue.
I love the idea of the new game boy. I lime what ive seen from analogue. However 200 for systems that most of us can run on our phones seems a bit much. I hope it does well though I like retro repro systems
Carts are too expensive as it is. No way someone is going to shell out eBay prices for them. Also I hope those were all Mary Kate and Ashley games you were throwing around at the end.
Neat. I'll keep it on my radar. …Something else I'd really like is a console that can play physical PSP & Vita games and also accepts memory cards from those systems.
What about Pokémon?
Um the SouljaGameBoy already exists tho…
Pretty cool. But gba sp is the og backlight gba.
You guys DID FORGET a very important Gameboy game: FINAL FANTASY ADVENTURE how could you?!?!

Is this legal lol
Why they keep pushing this old consoles to people that still have the old consoles working. Geez.
To be fair, I would still play Sonic Advance 2 just to farm Rings for the GameCube Sonic Adventure 2 Battle.
Just grow up!
Oh I need to find the Boktai game
I'm totally going to buy one of these.
Hard pass at $200

I'd stick with my Raspberry Pi
Given those game are probably now antiques, how much is it going to cost?
Can you show us what it actually looks like? Also, shame it isn't a flip screen.

FAIL
these presenters are not half as funny as they think they are. insufferable
this is only for those played them and crave for nostalgia. that is, if they still kept the cartridges or if there is any that can still be found
