More Analogue Pocket Editions Are On The Way, And They're Based On The Game Boy Color

Well I guess if we keep waiting they may eventually make one that look like the GBA. That's when I'll probably plan to buy one someday.

The new colours look nice, but it's disappointing the OS update doesn't have more to it.

The new colours are mostly interesting to new buyers. Would make a lot of sense to give your existing owners a more engaging OS update at the same time. Seems logical to me.

For one thing, I have 115 games in my library now. A few more simple ways to sort the library would be very welcome. Sort by length played, by date added, by release date, group by platform... seriously can't believe some of this stuff isn't already possible.

Also, it's September... where is the 3D Announcement?

Analogue are a real love/hate business - has to be said. I really wish they had more focus with their comms. There should be more Newsletters, more user feedback into the OS and more information on upcoming releases. They need to do more to reach a broader audience too. You can't keep selling the same person multiple Pockets - which must be the objective given you just released a special edition of the Pocket with no mention of more to come and then you now have more... it's not a great tactic. You're just going to annoy people. There's a huge audience of 80s born that still have no idea this even exists.

Lol ironically the dark green is what I always wanted for a gameboy and that is the color analogue pocket I have, vs the kiwi gbc I have. So reverse nostalgia?

That does remind me that I need to buy the game gear adapter though.

The article says a significant os update is coming on the 12th but the X account shows an update is out now. I'm guessing that's a typo in the article and that is the significant update unless there's another update coming?

The mate above looks like a pro wrestler (Pirate Paul Burchill perhaps) and I dig it. Anyway the rainbow of colors they keep offering, I don't dig that so much, but as long as they keep the standard edition in regular stock — good on 'em. People do tend to moan about the high prices, and the cost of shipping isn't the best, but the quality of their devices has never disappointed me.

Annoyingly, pretty much all of those colours are just a little off for me in terms of the hues and shades they went with. It's frustrating as hell when I see console creators do that. Because even with all those options, none are ones I would actually want. This kind of stuff is not rocket science. It's not that hard to get it right with a set of more universally appealing core colours.

@Ryu_Niiyama I recommend the game gear adapter. I've been really enjoying playing through the Game Gear library - it's a lot better than people remember, and a lot of the games aren't hugely expensive.

@nocdaes nice. I missed out on GG growing up. And my local retro store has a few nice games at a decent price. So I have been wanting to dig in.

Love that Teal!

I just love seeing Analogue Pocket models that I will never own.
Can never get one in time because of all the scalpers!

@Steel76 I just hate how they seem to do the intentional scarcity thing. Like they could produce enough consoles to meet demand but they don't.
