At $199.99, it’s more expensive than Nintendo’s Switch Lite handheld. The functionality could help justify the Pocket’s steep sticker price. The Pocket will also support Nanoloop, an application that musicians use to create chiptune music. Finally, the company will sell a $99 dock that lets you play cartridge-based games on a TV. The 3.5-inch display has a 1,600 x 1,440 resolution, too, that should offer superior brightness and color reproduction. There’s also stereo speakers, a headphone jack and a 4,300 mAh battery that charges over USB-C. The handheld improves upon the original Game Boy design with two extra face buttons, twin shoulder buttons on either side of the cartridge slot, and three small system buttons. The Analogue Pocket is more than a ‘play everything’ machine, though. Analogue is also planning $30 adapters that will let you play Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Atari Lynx, TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine and SuperGrafx games. That means you can bounce between Pokémon Red, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons and Advance Wars on the same bus journey. The handheld accepts original Game Boy cartridges, but also those released for the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.

They won’t have the power to match the PS5 or Xbox Series X.

A bunch of weird and hopefully wonderful consoles are scheduled to come out next year. The new hardware frenzy isn’t over, though. Countless ‘triple-A’ video games including Halo Infinite have been pushed back to 2021, after all. Still, it’s a minor miracle that neither Sony nor Microsoft was forced to delay their next-gen launch. Both companies are struggling with stock shortages at the moment and a number of user-reported hardware issues. Sony, meanwhile, released the PlayStation 5 and a cheaper Digital Edition that doesn’t come with a disc drive. Microsoft launched the Xbox Series X, a powerful obelisk packing a 12-teraflop GPU, and the smaller Series S, which can run games natively at 1440p resolution. Despite the pandemic, it’s been a pretty great year for video game hardware.
