Given openFPGA on the Analogue Pocket, if you can get one at msrp, the extra $20 makes that device seem like a way better value than this.

Note: I am going to set aside politics…

Agree a Pocket is more flexible, but this appears to be a love letter to the GameBoy Color. It has a magnesium body, sapphire crystal for the screen and they claim a custom LCD that works well in sunlight.

I have an Analogue Pocket. Great device, but has a very flaky cartridge slot that wipes save data. Everyone I know that has one has the same problem.

If this is better with real carts it’s already better than the Analogue Pocket in that regard. Guess we will have to see if they ever ship.
