miskAnalogue is shipping its TurboGrafx console and restocking Pockets
echo64For anyone on the fence and has seen all the online “controversy” that always follows analogue, I can say I bought my pocket a long time ago (first batch), and I’ve loved it ever since.
It’s absolutely that switch-like classic gaming experience I’ve wanted. No lag like android based systems (i went through a few of those), and I can play on my big tv when I want, and everything looks so. Damn. Good.
Loved every minute I have spent with the thing and don’t regret it for a moment
What controversy do you mean? I didn't follow Analogue Pocket too closely, so I'm not up to date.
djidane535Well, Analogue does not communicate that much. They promised a lot of features but did not deliver all of them yet (even 2 years after the Pocket release). It’s also difficult to buy their products, which attract the greed of the scalpers. And they generally rely on pre-orders, meaning you pay everything upfront 1 year in advance (tough this seems to change a bit, they have in stock the Pocket they sell now).
Amazing hardware but poor communication, software (very slow to get any update), and frustrating to buy from.
While I can understand the general « mood » about Analogue, I really love my Pocket, and I almost had all the features I wanted day one, so I do not complain.
