My CNET colleague Sean Buckley agrees - he got an early test unit and contributed his impressions and some testing to this review. For people like me, the Analogue Pocket is the new and refreshed magical Game-Boy-and-beyond retro cartridge player you want, if you've got cartridges to play. I still have a few old Game Boys, but I've long since lost their chargers. But it doesn't have many of the Game Boy games I grew up with. Take Nintendo: The Switch is a fantastic gaming handheld and console, and it offers plenty for retro gamers.
But despite living in a world of streaming and downloadable everything, some things don't make the leap across time, leaving holes in our personal archives. The past is full of half-forgotten media, and nowadays we have more than we could watch and play in a lifetime.
