Hard to say. The device is actually really cool. Has a beautiful display and does deliver logic-gate-level replica quality (as opposed to software emulation). Analogue actually appears to be committed to long term support, unlike the other devices they have completely abandoned.

If you have logged hundreds of hours in a game you intend to play and know exactly how it should feel to play it, I would either skip it or be prepared to open it up or keep it on the dock for Bluetooth controllers.

If you want straight a Gameboy FPGA device with no stress, I hear the FunnyPlaying devices are great. Obviously no sleep, state state, ROM, GbStudio or music-composing support, like the Pocket, but it does what it says on the box.

I've got a GB pocket and a Japanese only GameBoy Light and both are hard to play after seeing the Analogue Pocket's screen.

Yoshi's Island and pretty much every GBA game looks amazeballs on the Pocket. I have a GBA SP, and the difference is night and day. The screen is a dream.
