So I should be glad I didn’t waste my money on those things from that shitty company?

I like it, if no one told me the dpad was an issue I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought but it's obviously not as nice as an OG gameboy or SNES pad

I gave up trying to get one.

Got fucked out of getting 2 when the translucent ones dropped…

Fuck sellers that don’t do anything about the resellers…

Just my opinion…

Sucks about the resellers. Did they money rug you or did you just not get a locked-in sale?

Yeah, if you want casual retro, it is the premium option. But if you have put in like hundreds of hours into a game you love that requires precise controls, it is really a downer when you realize the d-pad is straight ass.

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.

You just confirmed that I definitely shouldn’t buy this thing lol thanks

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’ll stick with my og gameboys lol they all still work fine

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.

I have no problem playing any of mine (gb, gb color, ds)

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.
