New Analogue Pocket Pays Homage To Retro Game Boy Consoles

Players can simply use their original game cartridges without installing a separate emulator, offering a unique chance to revisit some of the classic Game Boy titles. Users will be able to play games such as Sonic Advance, Metroid Fusion, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and Donkey Kong ’94, among countless others.
Apart from the Pocket console, Analogue also sells cartridge adapters for several other retro handheld gaming consoles, such as Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear. In October 2023, Analogue had also announced plans to develop a brand-new console called ‘Analogue 3D’ in 2024. This upcoming console will be able to run retro games compatible with famed Nintendo 64.
Previously, Analogue had released various limited-edition lineups for its Pocket console, including two that released in 2023. One of them featured consoles with glow-in-the-dark colors, while the other was inspired by vibrant transparent colors of ’90s iMac computers. These special consoles are indeed produced in extremely limited quantity. As a result, both these lineups are, as of now, completely sold out.
