The Analogue Pocket is by far one of my favourite handhelds ever made. It takes what's good about the GAME BOY and makes it even better with modern-day enhancements.
In typical Analogue fashion, their Pocket handheld has been in and out of stock many times since its release in 2021, and their Dock, which is an absloutely incredibly accessory (I owned one) has also been out of stock for well over a year now.
If you've been wanting to buy an Analogue Pocket and the Dock, but aren't willing to pay the extortionate prices on eBay, then you're in luck.
Analogue has announced on X that a restock of the Pocket and the Pocket Dock is happening on March 4th, 8am PST, and will be shipping them in June 2026.
So although that's good news, you will have to wait a little while. To add salt to the wound, for those who have been patiently waiting, the Analogue Pocket will be increasing its price to $239 from the original $199 when it launched.
I don't think we can blame Analogue here, as many companies, including Retroid, are doing the same. The current state of the industry, and increase in RAM prices, is being felt everywhere, so Analogue has had to follow suit an up their price by 18%. Ouch.
The Dock will cost $99.99, which may seem like a lot, but I loved my Dock. It's a great addition to the beautiful Pocket and allows you to game on the big screen. Save yourself buying the Nintendo Switch version of Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green, and use your original cartridges instead!
Alongside this announcement, Analogue revealed that they are now selling cartridge cleaning kits as a new accessory, so you can clean and maintain your beloved cartridges at the same time.
