A big Analogue Pocket restock is coming, but cart adapters are delayed again

<p>The <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/analogue-pocket-first-look-handheld-gaming-as-good-as-it-ever-was-160050430.html">acclaimed Analogue Pocket[/url] multi-system portable handheld console is a bona fide hit. It’s so popular, in fact, that it's been sold out for weeks. Have no fear, would-be purchasers. Analogue <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.analogue.co/announcements/analogue-duo-shipping-pocket-restock-white-dock-limited-editions-pocket-os-releas">just announced a major restock.[/url] The consoles will be available to buy on December 4 at 11AM ET. The company promises that these orders will arrive in time for the holidays.</p>
<p>This restock only applies to the original black and white designs, and not those <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/analogues-limited-edition-pockets-are-delightful-and-frustrating-140012471.html">nifty limited edition colors,[/url] most of which remain sold out. If you miss the window on December 4, the company is doing another restock on December 8 at 11AM ET, but those won’t ship until February.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><div id="d853582dd7af48278d70b39a58c0e85d"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VvWxnWdgvbU?si=cJqDzxSJTtYSEi6q" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
<p>Analogue also announced a new operating system for the console, set to arrive in the next few days. Analogue Pocket OS v.1.2 fixes a bunch of bugs, adds support for new controllers, updates the music-making app Nanoloop and allows for new <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://openfpga-cores-inventory.github.io/analogue-pocket/">openFGPA developer tools.[/url] That’s just the first update. Analogue Pocket OS v2.0 arrives before the end of the month and gives third-party developers access to the original display modes, like the iconic Game Boy aesthetic, among other features. These updates follow <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/analogue-pocket-openfpga-firmware-update-beta-pdp1-spacewar-150038571.html">last year’s OS v1.1.[/url]</p>
<p>It’s not just the Pocket getting some love. The Analogue Duo is finally shipping on December 11, <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/analogue-duo-turbografx-pc-engine-turboduo-fpga-console-150059918.html">three years after the original announcement[/url] and over six months <a data-i13n="cpos:7;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/you-can-preorder-analogues-turbografx-inspired-duo-console-this-friday-182539002.html">after pre-orders went live.[/url] The Duo is an all-in-one system that promises to play every TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine title, even Bonk’s Adventure, a game that gave me no end of stress in childhood for obvious name-related reasons. The Duo plays both cartridges and compact discs. It’ll even run games that originally required the Arcade RAM add-on included as part of the Japan-only SuperGrafx console. Again, Analogue promises deliveries by the holidays.</p>
<p>The company’s also selling a limited-edition white dock for the Pocket, which also goes on sale December 4. However, this freshly-hued dock is more expensive than the original black model, at $130 instead of $100.</p>
<p>It’s not all good news for fans of retro gaming. Analogue announced a delay for the Pocket Adapter Set until February. This set adds new consoles to the lineup, so the system will be able to play TurboGrafx-16 cartridges, Neo Geo Pocket Color cartridges and Atari Lynx carts.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/a-big-analogue-pocket-restock-is-coming-but-cart-adapters-are-delayed-again-191423716.html?src=rss
