Just weeks after the release of its glow-in-the-dark Pocket console, Analogue is once again setting the stage for a limited edition launch that will transport gamers back to their youth. On September 29 at 8 AM PT/11 AM ET, Analogue will begin selling transparent Pockets, reminiscent of the iconic clear Game Boy Color consoles from the past.
Gamers will have the option to choose from seven transparent colors: clear, smoke, red, blue, orange, green, and purple. The allure of nostalgia comes with a price tag of $250 per console, a $30 premium over the basic versions that are currently out of stock. These transparent editions will be available in limited quantities, with Analogue confirming that they will never be restocked. Given the swift sellout of the glow-in-the-dark edition in mere minutes, prospective buyers are advised to be online precisely when the new models become available.
Analogue’s Pocket handheld offers a versatile gaming experience, as it can play both Game Boy and Game Boy Advance cartridges straight out of the box, with support for original Nintendo console accessories. Additionally, it can be directly connected to a Game Boy for multiplayer gaming, enhancing the nostalgia factor. Beyond Game Boy cartridges, Analogue offers Game Gear adapters, enabling players to revisit their ’90s gaming memories. Although TurboGrafx, Neo Geo, and Lynx adapters were previously announced, their release dates remain pending.
A Glimpse into Gaming History
Analogue’s latest limited edition release pays homage to the beloved era of handheld gaming, specifically evoking memories of the iconic Game Boy Color. The transparent Pockets serve as a bridge between gaming’s past and present, enabling enthusiasts to enjoy classic titles with modern convenience.
These consoles offer more than just a walk down memory lane; they represent Analogue’s commitment to preserving the legacy of gaming and providing players with a chance to relive their favorite childhood adventures. With the added allure of collectibility and exclusivity, these limited edition Pockets are sure to captivate gamers and collectors alike.
