I mean it’s fancy, but als pointless since that’s the price point of a Steam Deck, a strictly superior device.
I can fit my steam deck in my pocket, but only some pants. Nike makes a techfit line that can fit a tablet in your pocket.
I have a steam deck, and have used a friend’s analogue pocket. They aren’t even the same category of device, and the analogue is literally the best emulation experience I’ve ever used. The screen, by itself, is a better emulation experience for GBC games than the steam decks default experience.
It is not a superior device by every metric.
and the analogue is literally the best emulation experience I’ve ever used
The Analogue Pocket doesn’t use emulation. That is literally the entire point of that device, and the reason they can charge 10 times as much as you would pay for an Anbernic device with the same form factor
Yep, ask anyone who owns both. Nobody is playing a Gameboy game on a Steam Deck when they have an Analogue Pocket. Experience is much better, it just feels right on it.
That being said, if that’s not an important thing to you then a Steam Deck will play Gameboy games with near perfect accuracy and no issues, as well as do a million other things. So it’s indisputably a better value.
I would never pitch an Analogue Pocket at someone because if its the kind of thing you want, you already know about it and probably have one.
Just me or do aluminium buttons sound really uncomfortable?
When Analogue 3D?
Why won’t anyone make these with a GBA layout?
My old GBA was my favorite way to play Gameboy and GBC games because it’s just easier to hold.
Obviously piracy would be terrible and nobody would do it, but imagine how great GBC games would be on the Steam Deck if such a thing were possible! I’d probably play those pretty regularly!
I’ve always wanted a handheld digital device that I can beat someone to death with without breaking it. Thanks Nintendo!
