Cheers for you mate. In this video i loved the slow pace of your narration, and how you kept it interesting all along. I think it is great to have a less hyped content, a bit more mature and easier to digest. it feels like a breath of air honestly. Also the photography is beautiful, and those "out of gaming context" shots, stand out a lot, as they draw the attention to the product, while inviting to "fill" the context in which this shot "would" exist. (if i make sense). The influence is there, your touch is also there. And i am so happy to see such quality.

​@@matt_HM It is so sad when you guys end up working to please an algorithm. It is understandable that it is required in order to survive, so nothing is your fault. but for this algorithm they (youtube) are literally killing uniqueness and creativity. And they are pushing a type of homogenic content that turns boring in no time. Just to put an example: Few day ago i watched a 6hour long video about the entire history of gaming. In terms of algorithm thing, this video had to be flagged as bad content, or not interesting enough. Even tho, i watched the whole thing almost in one seat. That man took a super high risk, and probably will be punished for this. but his piece of content was so special. Wish some day they allow you to create and express the way you please, and we bring back personality into the field again. Keep up the good work man.

Great job on the video! Everything Analogue has done has been absolutely amazing! The only thing I would say they should have done different with the Pocket is use the orientation of the original GBA, aka with the screen in the middle & controls on the sides. That design is far more comfortable to hold as it's shaped more like a controller vs the dated top to bottom elongated design of the original Gameboy. There's a reason most mainstream handhelds use the side to side orientation now & have for decades.

FPGA is something completely different from classic emulation, which is only software based (and therefore introduces input lag and incompatibilities). FPGA on the other hand is hardware emulation and doesn't have any of the downsides of classic emulation. That's because the FPGA actually reconfigures itself to work exactly like the original hardware instead of just faking it in software. So any game is essentiallyrunning on real/original hardware, because the FPGA became functionally the exact same as the GB's internal components (Memory, CPU, ...). But this also means, that some of the advantages of emulation aren't possible or only with greater difficulty. The screen filter thing of the Analogue is very fancy and HQ, but comes with a much greater prices, because it's in part solved in dedicated hardware, instead of just some software filters, which are available for free most of the time for classic emulators. Also most performance and graphic enhancements, which are available with software emulation are impossible with FPGA hardware emulation (because it's the real deal). One could overclock the original consoles CPU recreated by the FPGA to help games which struggled on original hardware or make others run faster, which are open ended ftamrate wise. But except from that there is not much possible (like injecting modern rendering features in the rendering pipeline). ... but then FPGA based consoles are built for the more purity focused retro enthusiast anyway, so for most people this won't be an issue. I just whish, we could have the best of both worlds, but the technology isn't there yet ... and maybe it will never ... except AI will be utilized to conceive and develope now ways of retro gaming technology.

Great production value in your video! Crazy you are a new channel? I disagree that the Pocket is as flawless as you make it out to be in this video. It is still an amazing product. The flaws I found is: Insanely cramped gameplay for GBA or SNES titles because of the placement of the L and R buttons. Not only that, the L and R buttons sometimes will not register depeding on how you press them. Cartridge slot not replicating an actual GBA slot meaning games will not sit tight, and many accessories and games will simply not work (unless you add a cartridge extender). The link port is placed wrongly instead of in the top meaning things like e-reader+ won't work. Link port is also placed in the mid of the front and back case which are offset from eachother meaning the cable will not sit tightly. The indentations required for GBA/GC link cable are missing, so those will not sit perfectly and can easily slide out. It's clear the GBA part was heavily compromized. For playing GB and GBC is it probably the best device ever. But I find myself holding horizontal devices much more comfortable. If we can get a grip for the Analogue Pocket then that would help atleast. Or maybe the can release an Analogue Pocket Advance some day. Anyways, that's just my opinion. And I own NT Mini Noir, Super NT, Mega SG. All those products are near perfect, but not quite. Probably Mega SG is the most perfect of them. Super NT misses the MSU1. NT Mini Noir has some compatibility issues requiring you to switch firmwares depeding on the game you want to play. But that's besides this point. Just wanted to show that I'm well versed in the products :)

I absolutely agree that the Pocket is not flawless! I kind of didn’t know if I should make this a thorough review or more of an essay on why I think it comes closest to providing the nostalgic experience I’ve been looking for. I hope to improve my writing in the future and have a more clear direction for my videos. With that being said, my two biggest annoyances are how fragile the matte black finish is and how loose the cartridges are in the slot. Even if I handle the Pocket like a baby, the surface finish quickly started to wear away with normal use. To me that is borderline unacceptable. And I’ve had multiple games freeze just by setting down the Pocket. If the game hasn’t been extremely, thoroughly cleaned, it seems like any minor bump can cause the game to suddenly freeze. I think designing the cartridge slot to be so shallow was a mistake but I figure it was done to accommodate the shoulder buttons and to make sure the cartridge adapters didn’t get too tall. Anyways thanks for checking out the video! I’m working on my next one and hope you’ll tune in!

It very clearly _hasn't_ changed handheld gaming forever. It's a very interesting niche product with an incredibly good screen. If they were able to mass produce them and sell them at a lower price, I'm sure they'd have an impact in the market. The way things are now, however, they just don't. Would I love to have one? Sure. It's a great product. It's however: Unavailable. I'm not placing an order to maybe get it in a year or two and pay about three times as much as for a really good emulation handheld for the same platforms.

Wow. This is a great take on the Analogue Pocket. And I agree; the best part is playing your personal collection. Unfortunately, I sold my collection a long, long time ago, and rom emulation is the only way I can experience my old games once again. And with the craziness of the “retro” cartridge scene, I’ll have to keep emulating my games for foreseeable future.

I don't think emulation is an inherently bad thing! If I sold off my collection I would totally get the roms for the games I love and play them. For me, it's when I just download an entire library that I feel like the experience gets devalued. Thanks for watching!!

@@matt_HM Yes, the overwhelming quantity of games at your disposal can have a “cheapening” effect for sure. Lol.

Love the aesthetic style on this and would be perfect to see a version of the Glow in the Dark Pocket! Please tell me you ordered it?
