Get ready for a blast from the past! Analogue, the company known for its high-quality retro gaming devices, is releasing a limited-edition Game Boy Color Pocket handheld console. This nostalgic treat comes in six vibrant colors reminiscent of the iconic Game Boy Color: kiwi, teal, grape, gold, berry, and dandelion.
For those who fondly remember their purple Game Boy Color, the grape color option will surely bring back cherished memories. Though it boasts a modern display, the colors perfectly capture the essence of the original console.
This GBC Edition Pocket isn’t just about looks. It’s packed with the same features as the standard Pocket, offering a powerful gaming experience. Thanks to its FPGA chip, the console flawlessly emulates the hardware of the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance, allowing you to dive into a library of classic games.
But, like all good things, this limited-edition Pocket comes with a slightly higher price tag. It will retail for $250, a modest increase from the standard Pocket’s $220 price.
Analogue has a history of releasing limited-edition Pocket variations. The company has previously released versions inspired by other Game Boy designs, including a transparent set, and even a premium aluminum edition that retailed for $500.
As with previous limited-edition Pockets, these are highly sought-after and tend to sell out quickly. If you’re hoping to get your hands on one of these nostalgic gems, mark your calendars for September 12th at 8 a.m. PDT / 11 a.m. ET. Make sure you’re ready to refresh the page at the store link as soon as it goes live.
To further enhance your retro gaming experience, Analogue also released a firmware update on Tuesday. This update includes support for additional display modes and fixes several bugs related to the console’s adapters.
With its captivating design and impressive capabilities, the GBC Edition Pocket is a must-have for retro gaming enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates a touch of nostalgia. Get ready to relive your childhood gaming memories in style!
