Ah, a month or so after every other outlet and influencer in the world gave their take on a review unit, tis I, Analogue's old frenemy, here to put in my two cents on their latest product, the Pocket.
If you're not familiar with Analogue, allow me to catch you up on retro gaming's hottest luxury manufacturer. Founded in 2011 by Christopher Taber, Analogue got its start by gutting old Nintendo NES and Neo Geo MVS consoles and using their parts to create upgraded, hardwood enclosed, digital-friendly versions called the Analogue NT and CMVS. Since there are a limited number of retro consoles available on the market — and game preservationists tend to get a little squicked when you start gutting and flipping them for cash — the company soon pivoted to FPGA (field programmable gate array) technology for its future releases.
